My RS4 Nightmare

Great link.

That story involving the TT is a shocker!

Spoke to consumer direct who say i have a case for the car to be fixed by them or a replacement of equal value or a refund.

Was told to put it all in writing etc sales of goods act 1979 etc etc, recorded delivery as its the garages responsability to prove the car DID NOT leave the garage with the faults.
gave the garage a phone and straight away the blamed the warranty company etc, said he would call me back and e mail, heard nothing, so leter getting sent tommorow by recorded delivery and giving them 14 days, if nothing heard then i have a case No and have been told to phone consumer direct again to take it further, funny thing was when i told him i had phoned trading standards and gave him the details he said its not Joyce i deal with its usually******. i said "oh so you have a lot of dealing with them then"?? Total silence. i love the car and i know its only items that can be replace but you would expect a garage to get them all checked for the money we pay.

Best of Luck, was the service free from consumer direct, I only ask as im dealing with something very similar at the moment, but with a few concert tickets.

[bluenosewrx]

yes it was free mate, well up to now it was, there was no mention of a fee but guess if it goes all the way a fee will be payable to someone, ie a lawyer.

In all it will cost you nigh on what you've just paid for the repairs,these garages etc know this and will hang it out,relying on you not wanting to spend money,get a solicitors letter straight to them this will work better than any trading standards/consumer help company and it proves you are serious.

Forgot to add that its auto prestige of bradford, stay clear if you can.

Hope it all works well. I know I would steer well clear of Bradford. Full stop.

Also I do think, as DK said in another post, that you are better off buying from an Audi dealer (& negotiating hard just before the month end!) or buying a car privately that has the benefit of an Audi warranty.

Thanks for sharing.

given the Audi warranty costs £1.6k to renew, buying from Audi isnt actually to bad value

and sometimes they have them in at really good prices, but you need to be quick

had a look yesterday and dont think they had one on their locator for less than £30k....

prices seem super firm at the minute.

happy days.

Reminds me of an old Mercedes Benz ad:
"Quality is Remembered Long After the Price is Forgotten"

That's brilliant (for a car that did not have a small limited production run), and hope that carries on.

But you know what they say about past performance is no guarantee for future returns ...
