Said goodbye to the car on Saturday. Got it recovered back to the dealership.
Phoned them today and have been told it needs a new engine, bent valves etc. Getting a full refund in the next few days. Sad to say but it's goodbye to you all and thank's for all the help during my short 2 month stay.
Will have to think this one over for some time, I know what I want to do but that's not always benefitted me in the past :kissingsmiling:. Thanks for the help once again.
I love the car more than any other I've had. Been looking on ebay at others and just can't find anything I like to replace it. It looks, drives and sounds great and is excellent quality (apart from this rather serious fault haha) compred to most other cars. In my price bracket and for my age I...
I'm arguing they've sold the car to me with the fault already there as I've been complaining about the knocking noise it's been giving off literally from day one. But they fobbed me off saying it was a cam sensor. Don't expect it to be easy but I'm not going to stop at them regardless. Thanks...
No work was carried out. Mechanic literally just took the sump off and was met with this.
I've been driving it like this for 2 months and it's been like this for longer they reckon
Wear on oil pump:
Debris in sump:
Other half of one of the cogs and the wear on it:
Mechanic has said if it was his car he'd be after a refund due to the shards of metal circulating the engine now causing premature wear on all components.
Absolutley gutted :persevere:
Took the car in for a service, oil pick up change and cam follower change today to future proof it and put my mind at ease of any common faults occuring. Feeling positive and exctied to pick the car up again this evening with all the above completed I get a phone call from my local garage with...
Hi guys,
Just a quick 'what would you do?' question.
Bought my car with a resonated Milltek exhaust and it's too quitet for my liking. Getting the resonator cut out and replaced with a straight piece of pipe. Question is, replace with a standard bit of steel to save money or with another bit...
Hi guys,
Since purchasing my car a couple of months ago I have noticed when releasing the clutch after a gear change a strange metallic scraping/clunk noise, almost like the noise you get if you grind the gears but a lot less harsh and no where near as loud and terrifying. It only happens going...
Love the wheels! Was thinking of getting 19s for mine but after seeing these I'm tempted to stick to 18s and lower it on them.
Is your front Audi emblem painted black? If so would you be able to post a pick? Got the same colour A4 as you and have been considering changing the emblem to black...
I managed to get my arm down and under the battery from the front of the car. No removing battery etc. I found it suprisingly easy considering the amount of posts I read saying it would be quite difficult to do. Just feel around for the rubber grommet and pull it out.
Anyone? Phoned my local Audi dealership and they can't confirm weather the part is the revised pipe or not and will not accept returns if it turns out to be the old style pipe.
