Wife bought an A1 in January. Car just out of warranty in April but got an extended warranty as bought from an Audi dealership. Car just had its first MOT.
Driving to work this morning and she heard a loud "bang" and then a "twanging" sound. Left part of the front coil spring on the road. Audi Tech AA assistance guy called out and confirmed broken coil spring, a clean break - "quite a common fault on these cars" he said.
Said more than likely due to going over speed bumps he said (but we dont have any speed bumps near us).
Wife said that car has only done 7000 miles !
Anyway, on its way to dealership to get looked at now - though Audi Tech guy says they will more than likely only replace the broken spring and not both ??
Is this really a common fault at this age? Should we be pushing Audi for some answers here ??
