This is a really important thread. I can't believe Audi UK aren't paying any attention to it ??!?

amped2,
That looks like an excellent job done. I don't suppose you kept a note of your exact measurements for each piece of mesh.
Did you need to remove any panels from the front of the car to do this...?
Did you just feed in the mesh from the front end...?
Would it have been possible to have fitted the tie wraps from the inside...?
Might go for this option myself.
Thank you,
Billy
Looking good mate but just can't help thinking this just shouldn't have to be done to a prestige branded car, especially a German one. Where their engineer's meticulously plan and craft every thing. This certainly isn't what I thought I was buying in to when I switched to Audi.
Update on my situation:
Audi UK have agreed to pay 70% towards a new condenser and Audi Coventry are paying the other 30%. Basically they are only doing this because it occurred within the first month of owning it.
They said this is such a rare occurrence that it doesn't even feature on the radar of issues for further consideration. It turns out I've been very unlucky. I argued "what if it happens again in the next 6 months or a year, as I believe the design is flawed". They couldn't back up their claims with an assurance that if it happens again they'll reimburse me again.
So good news it's getting fixed but I'm anticipating a similar conversation again as it's bound to happen again with those gaping holes. Audi have refused to fit a grill because they are confident in the design of the car!!
Pretty large gaps at the bottom of a 3 Series BMW as well ......
.. and the condenser is much more forward ! You can see the fins!
Great news Sue, really pleased for you.
If Audi are that confident in the design of the car, then they should put their money where their mouth is...and promise to replace any damaged condenser free of charge.
Watchdog?

here it is, my "reduced" bill courtesy of Audi Bristol. I am so disappointed I have had to pay so much money in a brand new car fixing the air conditioning.
Definition of 'not fit for purpose' Citizens Advice - What is meant by goods not fit for purpose I do not feel that condenser damage by a stone comes under that remit...
I have sent my story to watchdog@bbc.co.uk
Who else would be interested?
I am no legal expert - but could I put in a claim against Audi in the small claims court?
I think I will try watchdog but I'm going to give them an opportunity to fix the problem once an email has been sent. Thanks robbo1million. Any help is much appreciated.
