Yes, a pain in the rear at times. I'd be more worried about depreciation than a customer having a c-class for 2 days.Yes, my F30 3-series broke down last year and Enterprise broke a leg to get me 3-series from a branch 30 miles away when the local branch had plenty of cars.....BMW assist insisted!
Think its different dealer to dealer.
I have a friend who works for enterprise and he has the D*ck Lovett Swindon Ferrari / Porsche account. He usually provides S6's, A8's, E or S class Merc's to their customers. I thought that was odd but that's what they get!
When my S3 goes to have its bonnet re-sprayed this week I'm getting a 1.0 litre Up! - for some reason my Audi bodyshop uses these cracking little cars. Quite looking forward to the experience!
The supplying dealer then liaised with a specialist team at Audi UK who deal d, I remained in the car provided by Audi UK, (an A7 S-Line 3.0 TDI [/I]
I too work for Enterprise. The rules of from Porsche assist are to provide what we call a small prem e.g. 3 series, C-Class etc. Basically something with a badge but nothing to tempt them away come trade in time. Orders from dealers differ, they get what they want.
4th MMI replacement? Of the 5F unit?
I think you probably hold the record for the most replacement units!
My previous S3 ate rear springs, had these changed so many times under warranty.
Surprised springs are covered really or was it a stupid amount of times?
Your so wrong it's almost funny.
I love the RS3 we currently own, but the amount of time it's been into Audi for warranty issues is scary.....
I've owned all sorts over the years and none have been back to the dealer as much as the Audi.
Your so wrong it's almost funny.
Had rear springs go on both S3's I've owned, 8L and 8P - both times replaced both sides at the same time.
It's a common thing on S3's maybe A3's but obviously different setup.

If you buy an Audi and expect totally trouble free motoring, then the reality is going to come crashing down around you.
.....places Audi as a manufacturer for fault free motoring, 34 out of 39.
I was just going on the speed you drove me up the multi storey car park.......
I had the rear springs replaced on my previous 8P A3 S-Line. Both within 6 months of each other although I probably should have had them both done when the first one went.
I've always been advised that and I can't remember 100% but I think they were only sold in pairs.
Morning all,
I feel kind of miffed and I’m not sure what action to take now.
I have had yet another fault this morning with my 9 month old S3; this brings the total amount of faults to 5, although I think it may be 6.
This morning it was the ACC. Now I don’t mind going back to Audi and having the fault fixed, but it seems to be every other month I’m going down to the dealership to get something fixed, the girls on reception can even remember my name now! With the wait time for a courtesy car is about 3 weeks; it means that I have to live with the fault for 3 weeks each time.
- Seat belt fault
- Crank shaft sensor fault
- Coolant leak
- Start/stop fault
- ACC fault
Any ideas what I can do from here? I know I’m outside the 6 month rejection window, but I don’t really want to go down that road anyway as I love the car. However, a slight reduction in monthly payments would be useful.
Or, am I just being a moany person who needs to wind their neck in? Are these common, normal faults?
Cheers,
James
Well, since I had them done I learned that I should have really got done them together but it was an Audi Dealer that advised me that only one needed replacing so only one was replaced until the other one went about 6 months later.
Having said all that I didn't even notice that they had broken until I had it in for a service and they advised me!
Ha! That doesn't surprise me after the experience I've had. What happened to German efficiency? If only their cars didn't perform so well and look so good.Vorsprung durch Technik? German cars 'amongst least reliable'

Germans are very efficient!! I've heard they can knock out an A3 in under an hour nowadays lol and they save at least £300 per car on bits they don't put onHa!
