Sorry if this turns into a rant, but....
Soooo my 14 plate (18month old) Audi s3 (hatch) with under 10k miles on the clock has had its s-tronic gearbox fail two weeks ago. Sucks bigggggg time!
Luckily Audi have sorted me out a loan s3 saloon... Tho this one also has an issue with its gearbox. The gear stick is completely loose and had a new feature - it slides up and down, and the only thing keeping it in is the leather gator *sigh*.
Now the VERY annoying bit... The dealer told me it would take 5-7 days to get a new gearbox in... Now two weeks later the estimated delivery time for it is 4th December. According to the dealer Audi don't just have spare parts like this ready?? - arghhhhhhh!
To make matters worse my council (Westminster) will only issue a temporary parking permit for 14 days (per car I believe). OH AND GUESS WHAT.... Audi car replacement services a now telling me that they would not be willing to replace the car every two weeks, so I may be left car-less
Anyone else had issues with their s-tronic gearbox? Or silly part delivery times?
It's actually the second time it's been recovered, first time was for over heating and loosing coolant, which looks to be a not so uncommon thing on here.
P.s -To be fair on the dealer, they've been keeping me updated regularly... But doesn't change the fact that my poor car is stuck unusable for a month and i may be left without a courtesy car!
