Re: Sports Exhaust - black tips - degradation

Hi, same problem here, except my dealer has just said that Audi would NOT fix the tips - its due to cleaning products or road salt. !! Could the people who have had a positive response please let me know what dealers they used so that I can use this for back up data when I confront the dealer. Many ...

Re: ffs

I did my first tonight, came round a corner in solid traffic both ways to find a paramedic making 3 lanes out of 2. I stopped, thought I'm not bumping the kerb, he pulls alongside and just looks at me, I thought FFS, I'll just try and pull in a bit more, then came that all too familiar crunching sou...

Re: Tyres and general wear

I was of the same opinion until I was told the brakes were £2k for front or back and expect them to be replaced every 15k miles, didn't want to take the risk so I will go for it.

Re: Order placed - let the wait begin!

My car has now been at the port for 2 weeks, frustrating to watch the car transporters leave and find out that my car isn't on the boat. To wait this long and then spend 2 weeks at Emden is torture !

Re: Audi Complete

Been quoted £122 per month for 12000 miles per year, considering brakes are £1000 for just front or back and tires are £1200 a set and Graeme's been through a set in less than £12000 miles I think that I will be going for it.

Got what's known as "the bums rush", the dealer rang Audi, they said there were no other slots available, so I'm left with wk47 build and a must be delivered by 31st Dec requirement to receive the financial contribution the deal was based on.
Gonna be tight.

Re: The wait is killing me!!!

Worth calling as there was a special allocation of extra production slots for RS4's and R8's but only if requested by the dealer. I had to tell the sales chap about it as another dealer had told me the info. Otherwise I was looking at a march delivery. I'll post this to the dealer as well, might ge...

Re: Order placed, excited like a child!

Nice spec, I'm pissed now, my build week is quoted at 47.!
I changed my spec to add the tech pack , can you switch the lane assist off if it's annoying ?

Re: Low balloon value on finance

I was told there was a max deposit - I put down £20k and I think that that was the max when they also added the finance contribution. More worryingly, this current deal only applies for cars registered before 31st December ( I am presuming you are having the Audi solutions). Talking to the dealer th...

Re: Low balloon value on finance

Hi,
I have arranged finance through Audi Solutions, they worked out to be £23k after 4 years with mileage of 12k per year.

Re: Order placed - let the wait begin!

As for the lead time, my dealer has just placed an order for stock (last week) & they stated that they won't see it until the new year. By that I assumed they mean Jan, but I could be wrong. They could have had a slot & have just confirmed specs also. I doubt there would be any reason for your deal...

Re: Order placed - let the wait begin!

I can't help you decide on the maintenance package as I don't do enough miles to justify the cost, but I reckon unless you're doing over 20k a year it won't be worth it financially if it's £105< a month
I won't be doing anywhere near 20k per year so thanks for the advice.

Re: Order placed - let the wait begin!

I have just gone for the std leather - no exclusive. The brochure quotes £105 per month for the base car (for the maintenance package), so I guess the price will be bumped for things like the sport pack. Didn't go for the black optics, after much thought, quite like the shiny grill, I'm probably a C...
