Hi
Been a while since i've been on here! Picked up my brand new A3 at the end of last year and since buying have had 2 major faults with the car. I'm in the process of trying to reject the vehicle and either get a replacement, or my money back...
The car has done under 1800 miles and in that time i've had the Turbo and catalytic assembly replaced. I now discover that the whole engine needs to be replaced... Whilst I'm satisfied that Audi has fixed the initial problem with the turbo, I'm not happy with having to have a replacement engine. My concern with this is that i am now exposed to the depreciation of having an engine in the car that doesn't match the V5...
I wrote to the Stealer and they spouted some rubbish about having to have "3 strikes" before a vehicle can be rejected - i.e. I needed to experience 3 major faults before they'd consider rejecting the vehicle! I'm maybe not the sharpest tool, but even I smelt a considerable hint of cow dung in that response!
I've since spoken and written to audi customer service. I now await their response!!
If any of you have experienced anything similar and have some advice, or even if you'd just like to add your tuppence worth, I'd really appreciate it!
