Audi repair

Post by Chinny » Wed Jul 01, 2020 4:14 pm

So just got the car back from Slough Audi and I had approved a repair for some wiring which apparently a mouse or other rodent had started to chew through.

When I got the car home I checked the repair and found it like this.

To say oh not happy is a understatement. Just got off the phone with them and apparently this is how they do their electrical fixes. I asked why they couldn’t supply the original cover like what on the car and I’ve been told that they do not do that sort of trunking.

Image

Question. Would anyone know where I could source this trunking from??

So got the below from Audi. This is the way they do all their electrical repairs.

In the RS5 I briefly owned, there was an element of re-wiring that had gone on in a similar fashion, albeit under the engine housing of the B8 engine cover. If nothing else, it looks Amateur on the B7 as its exposed, so quite right to 'reject' it and probably look to escalate to Audi.

I can see why they do it like that - as if tracing an electrical fault the repaired wires are probably the first place to look. That said I would not be happy with that at all !

I would hide it with this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/sourcingmap%C2 ... ive&sr=1-1

Actually this is even easier as split and can match the OD of the other conduit.
