Sounds awesome pal!!!
Yep it's Audi UK that look after you and not the dealer!! My car was eventually fixed at Cardiff Audi and my experience there was shocking. Read my review!Nice. It's nice to see that Audi are looking after us owners! I'll let you know how my repair goes next month. In fairness Cardiff Audi were top notch!!

Hi, looking for a bit of advice. I have an A5 2.0 tsfi that now needs a new engine with the price all in from Audi of £10,000. The problem first came when i noticed it was taking far too much oil, was away to book it in to the garage when i was driven to work 1 morning and the engine started rattling the whole car, and then it just wouldnt start. Got it put into audi garage, and been told the pistons went through the engine. I quick search after the incident tells me that this is a common issue with these engines. Been going on 4 month now with fimance or audi taking any sort of means to help or take responsibilty for this fault. Do i just bite the bullet and pay for this? Its an 09 with 57,000 on thr clock, should i really have to replace an engine of audi "quality" after 7 year. Only thing that gave me hope that it is my fault is that so many people have got theirs fully paid for, but so far audi have only offered 4 grand of the 10 that it needs to be put back on the road, the car is only worth maybe 11 grand after all. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks ryan
I foned Audi UK as soon as it happend and they told me to put into my nearest dealer (Aberdeen audi) before even looking at the car they asked for £600 to strip engine down to tell me the same thing the AA tech told me when he plugged it in. Audi UK have been apologetic but insist because it did not complete an oil consumption test that it cant be proved.Have you spoken to anybody at Audi UK ? (not your local Audi dealership)

A little update, spoke to the lawyer that deals with this incidents alot, he said to try audi UK again for more "good will" as they only tend to take on the cases after the work has done and try recoup the costs. Spoke to a nice women from audi customer services, on looking at my case notes she asked if i knew the reason why i am only getting a partial payout rather than it all paid, i said that Audi have said that it was wear and tear, she then said that it was because i dont have full service history. This was the first time i had been told this, and as the vehicle has been serviced every year i was quite suprised this was the overall reason. I told her this and she seemed suprised. The only thing she said was because it was another garage that had put oil in that i would have to find out what oil was used and if it meets audi standards. Something needs to happen fast, as Aberdeen Audi have informed me they will now be charging £20 a day for it being at their centre.
Audi are using the full service history trick in a way of making owners pay towards a rebuild/new engine. They even tried it on with me and my car has full Audi main dealer history!
Try your best to prove the oil met Audis specification at the previous servicings. However that may be difficult to source without invoices and Audi know this!!
As for the £20 day charge that is shocking!!!
It shouldn't be that long mate. I knew in about 50 mind. They drain out what oil is left and then measure it. They are able to calculate if it's out of tolerance. Dropped mine off for pistons and rods yesterday they said they would clean the exhaust tips on too.
