my new S4 cabriolet

Post by HYFR » Thu Apr 30, 2009 4:02 pm

hi guys, just picked up my new S4 cab on Saturday.

What I palarva I've had with it. . . ! Drove less than 100 miles and the coil pack goes ! and I was on the way to airport for my holiday, luckily not too far from home so nipped back and swapped cars. Called Audi an d told them to be at my house for when I got back to fit a new coil

So, get back from a rain soaked Italy and Audi turn up an hour late, turn the car over and all seems to be running fine and engine management light has gone out. . . did I dream it !?!

Audi guy is useless and just says, "yeah it'll be fine" and off he goes. . . 30 mins later, try to drive and 100metres down the road it goes again, EML on and engine lumpy and misfiring. . . so, back on the phone to Audi and they send the RAC out, they dont have the part but helpfully fit a 2nd hand to get me going on the morning

So, next morning, head to MRC to get a milltek, arrange for Audi to meet me there to fit a coil. They turn upo and dont have the part ! The man calls around and says they're out of stock. . . off he's goes telling me to take it to a dealer, very helpful, only for the guys at MRC to tell me their Audi dealer has got some in an could have them in a few hours! Not happy.

Then MRC tell me they've accidently given away my Milltek Non Res to someone else !

So, off to AMD Technik I go, and have a Non Res Milltek put on the car, whilst theyr doing that I use all the battery on my phone trying to sort the mystery coil. . . best Audi could do it book me in 2days time and wont even have a courtesy car

So

Take matter into my own hands, on the way from AMD, pop into Chingford Audi, buy the bloody coilpack myself, then when I got home called Audi Assist and demand they come out for a 4th time and fit the bloody coil that I have just purchased from Chingford Audi !

Luckily, the Audi guy that comes out is a legend, very thorough and has a passion for Audi's. He manages to sort it for me and I can enjoy the Milltek for the first time

OMG ! The Milltek with the roof down is absolutely awesome

I had an RS6 with a non res milltek before this and this sounds every bit as good, although beware it is quite boomy at lower revs.

Oh, forgot to mention, the parking sensors dont work. . .did I mention Audi are a bunch of muppets

:evil:

Looks stunning mate. Can't believe you have been screwed about so much. Glad it is all sorted now though.
Did you have the full exhaust system or just cat back?
