Had my car booked in for some warranty work as listed below:-
(Bit long but please read as i desperately need the advise)
Passenger(?) side xenon light dropping If the motors are replaced please could the lights be set to max MOTable.
Coil packs advised they have a recall
Door closure sensor (Drivers door)- DIS not recognising the door has closed so you have to slam it very hard for it to be sensed as closed (intermittent).
Squeaky driver and passenger seat If you sit in the seat and move left / right against the bolsters you should hear them squeaking.
Blowing sound from engine at 2000rpm when accelerating and when stationary revving the engine in neutral.
___
I get a call saying the lights are fine and line up ok (yes Im sure they do when the car has just reset them!) I had also explained the light dips and one does not come back up again but it is intermittent. So problem 1 not sorted! When i picked the car up The technician said he needed to see this happening and Audi UK would not issue payment if we have not seen the problem and can say definitely where the fault lies. He also said under investigation if it is found to be the wiring at fault I would have to pay all the labour costs!!! I thought the warranty covers wiring? I really dont fancy 3 days worth of Audi labour! (whats also annoying is he said we had an S4 in with the same problem and found it to be the motors, wouldnt common sense prevail and try replacing mine!)
Coil packs - Fair enough they said the numbers done match a bad batch.
Door closure sensor - Found to be at fault and a part will have to be ordered. (from what has already been said i think they may try to get out of something on this)
Squeaking driver and passenger seat. They said that the whole seat would need replacing and that the seat would never go together as well as it is now (The leather would stretch) then I asked if that was necessary and could they not just put some lube on the runners / joints. He said this would not be covered by warranty and have to be paid for by me.
He said the 2000 rpm noise is quite normal. Is this correct?
All in all Audi have done a very good job at /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/swear.gif me off. Couldnt have done better if they had tried!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burningmad.gif
