To shut the person above up, I have forwarded the video to furious in the hope that he can post it, perhaps you'd also like to see the various pictures of hire / loan cars I've been given too? No idea what your issue is that you don't believe it, rock down to Cambridge audi and you'll see the car still there, still being tested, still having wiggle tests on wires and the like, how does it defy credibility?

Sorry, I can only go on what you write on here, Zebede. You thought you had a video earlier this morning "somewhere" and now you do have a video. Great; but such contradictions are not confidence inspiring.

If you write one thing and mean another, it's not surprising that people start to wonder (well, I do, anyway). Plus, as I mentioned, you have been swift to post your dissatisfaction with Audi and with your dealer, but have resolutely ignored any queries that ask for a detailed account of what happened.

I have no doubt your car is in the dealership. I have no doubt there is something wrong with it. I do doubt some of the stuff you have stated, though, especially to do with the steering and other systems behaviour. I could well be wrong and, if so, I am ready to apologise. I look forward to seeing the video.

Clearly unacceptable, you shouldn't have to put up with error messages on the dash, something is not right there

Well I've rejected it, in December apparently audi don't think I should do that despite losing all confidence in the car, I just want a different car that I'll have faith in, audi don't even return my calls now.

I've just not bothered to do anything about it because it is normally just a case of switching off and starting car again

Has had no effect on car.

So few times in 4 years I've just not bothered

Will get another look before warranty runs out.
