Sounds like you have exactly the same car as me. However, mine is used everyday in all weathers and has done 87,000. It was 5 years old last October and I had the timing belt & water pump replaced. I didn't want to take the risk. I've had a timing belt break before on my very first car - it was...
it's booked in for the wheel bearing replacement (under warranty) next week. Getting a quote from my indi though for the shock(s) as Audi want £263.95 INC VAT.
Ok, they've called me back.
The shock absorber can't be replaced under warranty as it hasn't actually failed - it's just leaking. However, the wheel bearing is defective and so they've agreed to replace that under warranty.
Agreed - could be on dodgy ground with the shock as it's leaking. However, I expect the wheel bearing to be replaced.
I'll let you know what happens ..
Hi all,
My 64 plate A3 in at Audi for MOT today. Just had a couple of advisories saying that N/S/R shock absorber is weeping and advise replacing at £263.95 INC VAT.
Also, N/S/F wheel bearing has slight rumble. Cost to replace £318.70 INC VAT
Should either of these be replaced under warranty...
I think they are plastic. The "silver" trim around my windows has started to go 'milky' and there's not a thing I can do to bring them back to their original brightness.
Well, after just under 4 years the same thing has happened again - same spring too!
RAC chap who recovered her again said "I get called to a lot of these".
What is it with these springs on A1's?
It's been knackered for months now for 1 reason or another. I work in I.T and if this happened where I worked then there'd be hell to pay. Audi can't give a monkeys about it.
First it was a case of not being able to see my service history for my car. And now I can't see any details of my car at all on there! Shocking. Imagine if Audi was a bank!
