Re: Complete failure
Have they actually found something wrong or was that just a guess?

Re: Complete failure
They've replaced a part which made no difference at all, as usual they don't call back

Re: Complete failure
Sounds about right. They'll be carrying out Audi Technical's suggestion on how to fix the problem, the trouble is they take 48 hours to reply, each time the dealer says "that didn't work".

Re: Complete failure
Indeed, I suspect this is now back with Audi AG. I don't really see how they can expect you to take the car. There's a serious lack of trust in an expensive product. Personally I'm not sure I'd want another, I think I'd walk away with a refund.
Re: Complete failure
Oh update, they apparently fixed it, rocked up this evening to collect it ( I had to call them for update) but I expected that.
Got as far as 2 roundabouts away, broke down all lights on again returned car to them, made sure the people buying cars heard that it had been fixed and broke again.

Re: Complete failure
That's worrying!..
I'd be $h!ting myself driving it again.
Did you get legal advice?
Which Audi dealer have you been going to?

Re: Complete failure
That sucks. How long did they test it for I wonder. And have they been keeping you informed of what has been changed each time?
Re: Complete failure
Mike, this is Audi we are talking about, of course they haven't, that would mean they actually had to do something that's called customer service!
Not got legal advice yet but wouldn't take much to get it!
I'm not prepared to state on here who the dealer is due to not knowing the legality of naming and shaming on here.
According to Audi U.K. the garage in particular is an RS specialist, this worries me more than anything as they are truly utter pants so far but they have clearly convinced Audi they know what they are doing.

Re: Complete failure
Wow - this thread would be much smaller without all the repeat posts !
I've had pretty much every warning coke on before, about 4 times in 4 years.
Re-started it and off I went. Audi couldn't see anything.
All one of them said dynamic steering kaput , it still steered !
Sorry to hear of your woes though

Re: Complete failure

Just a random thing that popped into my head...do you store car in a garage or inside??
If so...mice nibbling at wires or loom etc??....it's been known to happen and cause random electronic gremlins ?

I assume Audi UK are aware? Are you dealing with them?
Only so much they can do as the dealers are franchised, Audi UK actually have zero practical authority over the dealers. However they are more likely to show common courtesy.
Reject.......
