Re: 2013 36K miles Timing Chain?

Maybe the start of paranoid posts now, went for a wee run then noticed at idle feels like a slight sort of vibration going through the car (feel it through the seat) is this normal? Hopefully videos work one with bonnet closed on with it open. http://s166.photobucket.com/user/ad53ggz/media/Mobile%20...

2 years warranty and of course I am but have to trust/hope the garage will sort it.

2013 36K miles Timing Chain?

Re: Soon to be RS6 owner

Fairest thing to say is a miscommunication and as everything was done based on trust / conversations as i stay over 400 miles away I then just felt very uneasy with the whole thing. Pretty gutted as should have been flying down just now, but for me it was a lot of money and after this just felt unea...

I was travelling along way to get the car (flying down) and had to listen to my gut. I am pretty gutted but after being burned once I am extra cautiou...

Soon to be S4 owner
