Good to see that you are being looked after so well!

You've done well with that courtesy car!

Do they charge you for excessive tyre wear?

to be honest, when i first mentioned this to the dealer a few weeks ago all they wanted was for me for to book it it and then charge me for the findings and then on, i was having none of that and went straight to Audi customer service and they are the ones that sorted the RS5 for me, dont get me wrong i didn`t ask for any particular car this is what they gave me, even the dealer was a suprised when the RS5 was delivered to them as a courtsey for me :biggrin3:
Audi so far have been great, cannot fault them at all, but what sits in the back of my mind is what could of happned!!

That would make me laugh if they did try tyre wear, but as its not the dealers own car i doubt it.

Sounds like a ploy to me.

Get you so keen on the RS5 that you want to buy it so they dont have to repair your seats :lol:

My 11 year daughter from the beginning of this has stated that she will not get back into our RS6 because what happened and in case it happens again, I've tried explaining to her it won't as they are replacing the faulty parts but you know 11 year olds, so this leaves me in a difficult situation. Do I get the car back keep it and hope she eventually comes round or think of replacing?

Audi contacted me earlier with a update, the new seat arrived but it was the wrong material, it was full leather not leather and alacantara, so they are ordering some alacantara from Audi in Germany and getting a 3rd party retrimmer to hopefully sort out, which will take another few weeks, it's getting quite interesting this..

If she doesn't want to get in it after it's fixed, leave her at home. I bet she'll come round to it after being left at home for the third time in a row.
No matter where you go, there you are.
