Feel sorry for you. Your not having much luck. If i was you I would demand a replacement car from Audi especially when you've spent over £40,000 on a car. I would hold the cats back side to the fire on this one.

I think there was. But remember Audi should bend over backwards to find one and some dealers would of ordered some for demo stock.

+1 in my opinion if the dealer has had the car more than you in the 1st 3 months then its car rejection time with a full refund or a replacement car with similar or better spec.

the A6 is really not my cup of tea, big waft barge with zero driver involvement and worse fuel economy than my R32 and its an oil burner??? :audibash:

you kinda throw it over arm into a corner and hope it will drift around it lol

and its so bloody big people couldn't pass it when i parked in my daughters country village

its put me off the RS6, I will stick with the 3 and 4 :blackrs4:



oh and it can wheel spin a front if you pull away turning onto a main road?? and its full fat quattro

not looking good

Post by Dave_Hedgehog » Mon Mar 26, 2012 3:36 pm

Well it's good news we have agreed that I am to get a new car, the last UK car according to Audi, build is in June, build lock is tomorrow.

I am having to make a contribution thou as my car was a dealer demo :(

But I do get to add all the bits I was going to retro fit too my car - Bose, black roof rails and light/rain pack

And I specced the 255mm front rims

Dealer has been superb but they could have been a little bit more generous but they are still dealers :)
