Hi There Have a slight problem with my 2005 a4 2.0 tdi pd, The problem is vibration when at idle, the car drives faultless and pulls great but when stationary say at a set of traffic lights i can feel vibrations from the engine through my seat. Heres what I have done so far Injector cleaner...

Quick update, Audi UK say I simply dont have a claim as it is a paint defect not a body defect load of rubbish what can i do tho?..... I am ****** now and cannot go any further with the claim, I have contacted watchdog they are really my last hope tbh.

Guys thanks for those stories. Yous are correct about the guy at the repair shop, I turned up and immediately got the impression that he couldn't be ***** even looking at it....not a good start, then to tell me a load of bulls h**T about zinc inclusions and them not being covered..... I am...

Thanks very much for that link.... Its very disappointing the bull I have been told from Audi and Audi repair center the two are on the same page!!!! I am simply not going to accept this and I will pursue it as what Audi are doing is wrong, The car either has a 12 year corrosion warranty or...

Hi Thanks for the suggestion, Audi didnt inspect the car it was a approved audi repair centre and there is really only on within a 50 mile radius from me........

Ok an update on the corrosion finally after many weeks (holidays and work) the car has been inspected. Estimator says thats not covered as it is zinc inclusions not rust so its a paint defect not a body defect, what a joke tbh, he wouldnt photograph as he said its a waste of time as audi will...

Hi, I have only actually had the car inspected today finally due to holiday and work etc... I went to Audi repair centre belfast to get the car inspected and guess what rust not covered why? those are zinc inclusions not rust so it is a paint defect not a body defect? what a joke. The estimator...

unfortunatley I am going away on holiday this week so ive decided to wait to contact audi after my holidays.... will keep everyone updated..

Sory got a bit carried away there!!! to answer the questions, 1.never been damaged I know this for a fact as i have always maintained the car. 2. Yes read the second precondition very cleverly worded, but I believe its apparent my rust is indeed from the inside out as the paint is still intact...

I serviced the car for a customer of mine, i am a full time mechanic. The customer bought it from new from audi belfast, the car has had thousands spent on it, last year the oil pump drive failed it got, a new turbo, clutch and flywheel, new big end bearings, and the new gear driven oil...

if you need a stamped body inspection book it should say that in the terms of the 12 year warrentry, I believe the most tricky part of the warrentry will be proving the rust is from the inside out and not the latter as they will more than likely say a stonchip caused this. I have a few...

I dont believe you should need an audi full service history, I have read the terms and conditions of the warrentry which are as follows; Body protection warranty All current Audi vehicles are fully protected during manufacture against rust attacking the internal cavities of the bodywork for 12...

Exactly I have nothing to loose, the corrosion isnt really bad but it shouldnt really be any corrision on this age and class of car to be honest a bit dissapointing!!!!.. Has anyone else had issues with corrosion on this age of car?. Also you say skoda honour the claims as long as it hasnt been...
