No worries. I'll send mine in to be done once I've fixed it again lol. ****** thing!I just typed my number plate in here https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ which now shows I have a recall and need to contact my Audi dealership for a free repair.
Thanks @markthenewt as when I checked back in January nothing flagged up.
I know right. Weird it's only a few effected. I can drop mine in yet, id be too embarrassed with it's crusty wings lol. I do have brand new wings ready to go on, just waiting for them to be painted in a couple of weeks so when that's sorted I'll drop it in for the recall.what are the chances of all the B7 made I get one of thec39 effected.
My fear is broken hinges and scratched plastics that were "There already"I think it’s just a glovebox out and some small bits to replace the problematic unit.
Good to hear Rob. I’m going to ring Audi next week and get booked in. Did you wangle the courtesy car for free or did they charge for it?Just booked my oldbus in for the 28th June , with a courtesy car for the day.
Seems to effect a fair few models around the same era, the guy had already booked in two 2006 A6's this morning.
Anyway,its a free fix so cant complain.
They just asked if I was going to wait, I politely said no thanks I'll take a courtesy car, and the guy said that was fine, no charge full stop for anything.Good to hear Rob. I’m going to ring Audi next week and get booked in. Did you wangle the courtesy car for free or did they charge for it?
Mine's got the recall too, Rob. I think judging from here, it's way more than 39 cars affected; maybe they mean 39 variations? It's like waiting in one of those Ministry's for years; being long forgotten, then suddenly someone calls your name. Earlier Audi's had this recall so I'd wondered in the past, if they'd get round to the B7s. This issue was very widespread since Takata made most all the airbags in every car going. I think Audi wait till the last possible legal moment for this; when they reckon there will be fewer on the road, to minimise costs. It's true that there's a lot less B7's around now than when I bought mine 6 years ago, even; but they may get a shock - I hope I get in there while they still are of a mind to hand out courtesy cars.Only 39 cars effected seems a bit low.
