bubba Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hi All, Just wanted to let you know my multitronic gearbox failed (terminally) back in March. It was replaced under warrenty. Felt some juddering under acceleration, so took it into Poole Audi last Thursday, guess what, they have replaced the multitronic again but they now say they can still feel a vibration at a particular rev range, so are doing more investigation !!!!! Phoned Audi Uk, said not happy, car has only got 40K on it - what should I ask for as compensation ?? Anyone been through similar and got loads from them ???

bubba Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 P.S ODB Remap was wiped beginning of the year with a flash update to ECU - thank f##k !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 lol, that was lucky. I had a gearbox replaced on my old Leon Cupra R and got a free service (major 20k) for my troubles. If you dont ask you dont get.... if your keeping the car I'd push for this as they can be a big cost around 40k. I made a big deal out of it saying it had ruined a weekend away etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Nice idea, but car is leased with full maintenance, so free service would only benefit the lease compnay. I was thinking about an RS4 for the weekend or something !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Out of interest, what BHP where you getting after the remap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] The chances of getting one of those out of Poole Audi are less than my chances of winning the F1 championship this year At the end of the day, it's an issue with Audi, rather than the dealer. In the past and over the past week, I've found Poole Audi to be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgera Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 My Multitronic went after 82 miles. Took a month to get a replacement. In the end I got £150 of Audi vouchers. Which was OK in my case as even though my car is leased I can use them to service the wifes A3. Even if you get the same I'm sure somebody here would take them off your hands for a bit of a discount against face value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I have not mentioned that the oil pump also failed in February of this year, resulting in half the engine being rebuilt, new turbo and new exhaust system. Then the 1st multitronic in April, now the second in July ... so if they offer me vouchers then they can kiss my arse. Car has been at Poole Audi for 8 days now, and they still don't know what is wrong. Poole Audi have been really good and I'm not knocking them, especially Victoria, she lurvely. But as far as I am concerned they are also a representative of Audi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
