    Dashcam footage of Audi S4 B8 3.0T Customer Car Abuse by VAG Technic in Dudley

    My view is you have a decent case here but being so overly defensive does not help your cause and these are reasonable questions to be asked.

    2001 S4 Avant on new Wheeler Dealers Monday 7th

    Does anyone remember when they did proper work on cars? A big service and fixing a knackered cup holder is really not worth watching... and in the intro he kept calling it an S line! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
