Alright nigel long time no speak! How things? Seems like loads of ****** to me aswell have not heard any thing from them today as they are speaking to my mum now instead of me. Few people said they will check my car out its just transporting it. I might see if i can get a car for the day to pick a few of them up and bring them to mine when the car back.
I'd rather pay you then Cardiff Audi. well matter as fact any one else bedsides cardiff audi. Think i get the car back tomorrow so i will take a few photos and upload the photos.
Feck it Ash, I cant see how its 2k tbh, it seems a complete load of ****** to me, god take some more images so I can see & Stu of the damage, I'm sure someone is local to you who would help you to jack up & change parts, I cant see how all those parts need changing no ****** way mate, I had a rear track arm go on my s3 ages ago, had to replace arms & as it broke the rear shaft bearing housing had to do this, but I'd say they are trying there luck mate & I certainly would get a 2nd opinion & ask to see all the damage before you do anything.
Feck it you can pay me & Stu to come down & change it for yer, lol, what yer think Stu???? lol
Get some more images of the whole inside rear where they say all damaged.
I mean we could be wrong but I fecking hate it when the stealers do this & take the **** of people who maybe dont understand whats happened & take serious advantage of the situation.
I've got fair few tools & meaty trolley jack.
To be honest i dont think it needs all those parts changing. I did go back last night and check the pothole its quite big! No one hit me while parked up as there be damage and probably a nice dent to the rear part of my car. Not sure if i want to go through insurance rather just pay a garage to fix it.
Have you checked the route out to see if there are any big potholes.
Insurance claim ?
With that amount of damage you must have felt when it happened. That or someone hit it when it was parked, but I would have thought that you would also have bodywork damage.

Hi Khufu think i get the car back tomorrow so i will take few photos of under the car etc so you can actually see
The dealer will probably be hoping you'll claim it through the insurance hence the price. As said, a few more pics might help us get a clearer picture. Sounds a crazy price!
Thats what im thinking they tried there lucky before with a clutch and i said no got the gear linkage done and the car been fine since. So i might pay to get that done and see how it goes.
I'm with Nige and Stu, no way is that 2Ks worth. As it's just happened you can probably just swop the track control arm and you'll be good to go!
Tyre fine and the alloy seem fine when i looked at it besides the big mark on it. Tyre hasnt gone done or any thing. But probably be best to get a new alloy and tyre. Few people of recommended changing the bent parts and seeing how it goes. And that Cardiff Audi do try there luck with people. Funny how it went from £2000 to £1,700
I think I'd add the wheel and maybe tyre to that John.
The track control arm will include new bushes and I wouldn't think the shock absorber would be bent as they will have an element of movement available via the mountings and bushes.
I can only assume they've seen an error with the rear wheel speed sensor to make them question that, I'd change the bent parts first and then see what happens.
I think most of the cost it the labour to be honest. There was no crunching metal noise when i drove the car early yesterday morning.
My friend bent both sides on his yellow seat leon and he was like no why should that little thing cost that much. And saying to try other places and just replace the bent parts. I need to make my mind up this week two days with no car driving my mad. And i dont want to ask people to drive me to work or home. So will be buses YAY
Might just go cardiff audi and just say fix the bent parts nothing else and if the car fine well...
Question them
Yeah thats all I had done when it happened on my S3, the track arm & the only reason the rear shaft was replaced was cause they didnt notice the bearing cage had been broken up so I drove of to the metallic noise of crunching metal, but even so we we're talking £200-300 max & nothing else was changed, I mean these things are fairly solid & given the image you have shown there isnt much out at all, mine was literall almost bent right in & nothing else was fecked up so you can see how it would be so strong, shocks, springs, sensor definitely question that & maybe others that they state need changing, 2k my left nad!!!!! But then again we're talking £100 an hour plus parts.
Yeah was looking at those but they fit early a4 and 8l A3.
Minds made up about colour though
Indeed, but wasn't he after these bad boys?
Any of you guys know what it could be?
On the round about there a few potholes but never been a problem before. So later on and when its not so busy i am actually gonna have a look at where i skidded by. Because what ever i hit or hit me took about 4inch in length off my alloy and 2cm width off my alloys. Got them booked in for start of december to be r
