Re: Looking at RS4 tomorrow - anyone know it

If you don't buy it i'd say it will go out to trade now.
The more I here about Audi main dealers the more i'm convinced it's not worth paying the extra.

Re: Approved Used - What a Joke!

Update: I have been contacted by the aftersales manager who tried to sweet talk me into letting them repair the car - he even told me they were one of a few techinal excllence centres in the UK - I said his technitians must be blind and deaf and there's no way they are repairing the car and that I w...

Re: DRC 1 SHOCK REPLACED - RATTLING NOISE & SEAT NOT INFLATI

Bear in mind the DRC clunk improves after driving the car for 10-15 minutes as the system warms up - try it again in the morning when cold and see if its OK.

Re: Approved Used - What a Joke!

You need to let them have the opportunity to fix the car but only accept the work after inspection by your local dealer, if not satisfactory them I think it is reasonable to expect the selling dealer to pay your local dealer to fix it. I agree but the trouble is the distances involved (500 mile rou...

Re: Approved Used - What a Joke!

The trouble with the rejection is that I suspect you may be correct that its a credit rather than refund. It's unlikely another RS4 is going to crop up at the same dealer and i'm not sure there's another Audi I would want.
Repair at my local dealer is the best outcome and most reasonable IMO.

Re: Approved Used - What a Joke!

I would be the same but i can't see them paying another dealership to do the work when they have their own mechanics and facilities. You could be on a sticky wicket legally, so it could be a hand back job, make sure you have a full list of all faults found, registration/chassis number, written on o...

Re: Approved Used - What a Joke!

The local dealer has called to say they have spoken with the dealer I bought the car from and they have indicated they would like the car back for repairs. I've told the local dealer i'm not happy with this as they have missed all these things originally and have lost confidence in the their mechani...

Re: Approved Used - What a Joke!

Not being funny but did you not notice any of these items when you bought the car?? Did the suspension not knock?? Exhaust valve etc.... Parking sensors not working??? Or is it a case of your local dealer wanting some warranty work from Audi... I live in Cornwall and finding the right vehicle has n...

Re: Approved Used - What a Joke!

I will name and shame if this doesn't get put right ASAP, but I feel it's only fair to give them a chance to put it right.

Re: I might have overfilled the oil

As said before get a syringe and a length of tube from halfrauds and suck it out with that.
