mrs got a new car a while back think I posted a thread. Anyway it’s been burning oil as these engines are known to - known problem with the CAVE engine.
You have to book in for an oil consumption test before anything can be done by Audi.
Head office say it should be £60. Sod that I thought we will wait till it’s booked in for it’s service.
Took to Audi Harold wood. They wanted £80 to investigate a intermittent judder when pulling away (S-tronic gearbox) so I told them to scrap that. How much is the oil consumption test? An hours labour was the reply.
I asked how much that was...
£178.00!!!
Told them to scrap that too.
Anyway it’s been serviced. Missus gets a call.
Pollen filter due. £58.
I mean what does a pollen filter cost. £20 max? And how long to fit? 5 minutes. They want £58 No thanks!
Brake fluid change was a reasonable £65 - so we had that done.
Front coil spring has snapped (common issue) they want £386.00!!!
Got on to Audi parts supplier, genuine s line spring £61.55
Mental
Is it just down here Audi charge this kind of money?!
