I posted on here about a year ago asking about the prop shafts on A3 2.0TDI quattros. The anti vibration mount on my prop shaft was split and according to audi this means replacing the whole prop shaft as it is a single part.
After a bit of discussion with Audi they agreed to foot 3/4 of the bill as I only had 55k miles so it only cos me £400.
15 months down the line and another 25k miles it was split again and it was fine this time since it was still covered by warranty so didn't cost me anything.
My concern is that cars shouldn't go through prop shafts that cost £1600 to replace this quickly and I only have another 6 months or so of warranty left before I'll have to pay for the next one! Is there something else that could be causing it? I asked the garage was told I had just been very unlucky!
