CALL from MY LOCAL STEALER

[D9ANT]

As anyone else had this because it sound a bit dodgy to me i had a call three weeks ago to tell me that my car is been called back due to a suspected cracking in the boot floor on the b7 rs4 they need my car for a full day then it needs to stand for twelve hours as anyone else had this call because i cant seem to find anything about it on here and you guys dont miss a trick please advise cheers boys and girls

[ArthurPE]

this is a problem with e46 M3, and after repair it must set to let the materials cure...

never heard it about the RS4, or any Audi

in the States they send letters, they don't call

[D9ANT]

thats what i thought my mrs's drives a bmw x5 and we recieved a letter for that call back i'm going to ring audi uk customer services it doesn't seem right to me

[pippyrips]

Yep, heard this a few times now and it's genuine.

[lengster1]

Yeh its genuine the dealer who has looked after the b7 ive just bought mentioned it needing this doing

[^Qwerty^]

Mine went in last week for it. The tool required for the fix is expensive, so my local dealers (York and Hull) are sharing it. They try to get all the cars in to look at during the same week.

Battery clamp recall by any chance?

[Timrs4]

Had mine done also, a couple of weeks ago at Camberley Audi, all they do is use a special type siliconce gun to apply a bonding agent around the battery tray! i am glad i did not have to pay for it as it looks like a five year old applied it!! & yes they need the car to stand for 12 hours after application, & evidentley mine did have a small crack in boot floor!

[sonny]

I tried to look at mine to see if I noticed a crack and saw nothing. Is the crack or work that needs to be done well didden, i.e. behind the battery or to the sides/front?

[aidanjaye]

Mines in on two weeks time for same - dependant on chassis number I think??

[Brooner]

Is this just for the saloons or do the avants have this issue as well?

[rjkflyer]

Yep, mine repaired too. Quite a significant crack it seemed.

[Terry1948]

mine was repaired also it took two days. It also appears that if you have your car MOT at audi it is free if register online!!!

[spikeyoldbiker]
