Speed of return from Audi...

[Jazza1984]

Dropped my ca off this moring a 09:30 - I had my brakes changed recently & the garage noticed the front shocks leaking.

So today the car went in to Highland Audi to have the DRC looked at as well as vibration through the steering column, and also to have the oil cooler pipe re-call done.

They say it'll be ready first thing tomorrow morning - does that seem really quick to anyone else on here?

Any hints on the questions I should ask tomorrow, or what sloppy shoulders can I expect from them?

Is it just to have DRC looked at or replaced? Even if replaced they could fit them if in stock today or, allow tonight for the system to settle and test and return it to you tomorrow. Oil cooler recall is a 30 minute job unless it needs replacing and a 4 hour job if it does.

So all in all if you get it back tomorrow it is feasible.

as P_G says - its an acceptable time scale.

Recently had my front DRC's replaced at Edinburgh audi - the onlyr reason they had it overnight was to check the pressure remained stable overnight.

Mine was in for 2 days... also make sure they carry out a full geometry check on all the wheels... My Audi tried to get away from not doing it!!

Well, it seems strange and it's not exactly put me at ease.

They told me when I dropped it off it should be ready for 4pm today. Then they phoned to say a part wasn't in so it should be ready for tomorrow morning. I came on here & looked up DRC issues & read a pressure test should be done overnight. I phoned back & asked what has been/is getting done but couldn't get an answer. When I mentioned the pressure test, they said it wasn't necessary.

Highland Audi, from what I've been told, and from what I've heard, aren't the greatest to deal with...but I'm worrying they might try to give me the run around tomorrow...

Ring them back, ask to speak to the master tech and see what the schedule of works is. If there is DRC work and replacement of any part ask how low after initial pressurisation do they allow the system to settle before retesting at what pressure they are filling it to. Should be between 14-16Bar.

If they do not know leave the car with them overnight and pick up in the morning and ask them to retest te pressure in the morning and top up if necessary before you pick it up.
