Hi guys gals, thought I would give you a progress update. Had a phone call off Shorade bodyshop earlier, they told me that the new passenger door had arrived, but the rear quater Audi sent them was for an A3 rather than S3, and there different shaped apparently, so they told me they chased Audi about this. Audi told them that the part is on back order, so it will take longer to get it back now as the piece is not expected in till friday, then it needs to be painted up so looking at another two weeks.
Now the bad news, they also told me they drove it to see if there was any noticeable damage to rear suspension, before they checked the geometry on there test machine. The guy told me it pulls to one side, so when they checked the geometry it was the front suspension that is out. On further investigation they have found all 4 wheels have flat spots and the front suspension is out of alignment, the rear is fine. They are saying that it must have hit a roundabout or gone over a kerb at speed to do this damage. He has told me i need 3 new wheels at least but as for the suspension there are quite a few things it could be. He said it might end up costing me over a £1000 to get it right, as they dont know what parts are damaged. Anything from knucles to tie rods, and any other things that make up the suspension, I dont really know what the parts are as im not clued up when it comes to fixing cars. Im a bit worried now as I have not got that sort of cash at the moment, as im off work at the minuite. I just really feel gutted as it just seems to be one thing after another. The car seemed fine when I bought it, and now I just feel like I have been conned again, as they told me this would not have happened from the impact to the side of the car, as it was not hard enough or close enough to the front... plus having the flat spots on the alloys proves that aswell. So im pretty much stuffed at the moment and I dont know what to do. Feels like I have not even had any use from the car after only driving it for 3 weeks and it is costing me money already.:Flush:
