Just stay off the motorways - you can't go wrong :wink:

Nice one - I'll keep 'em peeled :wink:

Just look for the manky Avant knocking about (it's getting used as a workhorse atm, starting to tidy up house in prep for moving soon, amazing what you can fit in these things with the seats folded :shock: 8) )

Audi Dundee did the 30K service and timing belt for me. They used the wrong engine oil, causing the oil temp to go in the red while 'cruising' in Germany. They also left the bottom boost hoses loose, which resulted in quite severe loss of turbo boost. They never managed to sort my DRC either.

I use Camerons in Perth now. At least they have a couple of RS specialists that listen to the customer..............

Cheers

Totally different experience from above - Dundee Audi have looked after mine all during my ownership, and I've never had any issues with the service - and that includes warranty work. :wink:

I found them very courteous and helpful as well. But after 4 attempts to get my DRC working correctly, and the master tech not listening to me (as a suspension engineer by trade), I moved to Camerons. At least they realised that the valves needed to be replaced every time the system was opened up.

If you are looking for a good twisty A road, come off the M74 at Moffat and take the A701 to Edinburgh. After that, it takes about 50 minutes to Dundee.
