Hi all , thought I'd share my bad luck
64 plate , full service history, 40,000 miles , standard as factory
last serviced Audi Maidstone on the 24th of June full service and inspection.£600+
Basically driving on the m25 and EPC light comes on , car starts to lose Abit of power and gets a bit shaky
I pulled over and had the car recover to my home
managed to get an appointment with Audi Maidstone a few days later and the car put on the back of a truck and took it to there .
£100 later and I'm told I need a new engine as the big end has gone .....I know nothing about engines apart from how to break them apparently
I got the car at 30.000 miles over a year ago from a Audi specialist based in buckinghamshire, car has one owner before me
So I ask Audi Maidstone how much to fix and I'm told £11,000 for a new engine and another 2000 to remove the old engine lol
I ask for Goodwill and they will not help me at all basically I'm on my own, they are saying because the cars out of warranty they won't help at all
I haven't got the money to do this obviously and I don't know what to do now
everyone ive spoken to has told me to take it further as the car is not thrashed and it has full service history
Should I ring Audi uk or am I banging my head against a brick wall here
