@Magnet No Gareth. £695.00 for the two years cover - paid upfront OR a 24 monthly payments. No interest. You've added the upfront payment to the 24x monthly ones and so paying twice for everything! 🙂 Give me credit Gareth! My fairly 'local' garage that i know, deal mainly with 4x4s. They'd be wanting in excess of £695 to match the equivalent of what the Audi garage will do and give. I'm happy to put my trust in a garage with qualified Audi engineers.

2010 A3 S3. No start amd sudden shutdown when hot
Magnet replied to edmiri's topic in Audi A3 (8P) Forum
Hello Edi, How old is the battery? Have you had it checked under load conditions? When you say you have tried a new battery, was that a ‘new,new’ battery, or a used one, and what battery is currently fitted? Have you checked the engine earths? Regards, Gareth. -

Comes under the polite heading of ‘Oh blinking heck’ - if I’m following the correct logic. For 1 oil and filter change, 1 oil and pollen filter, and two MOTs, Audi are extracting almost £1,400 from your wallet over 2 years ( with £695 taken in advance). For that privilege they won’t even change your air filter without charging you extra! Personally, I would need gas and air, but perhaps I’ve got a very distorted comparison of getting the same work done on this 8 year old vehicle at a trusted local garage. It would be interesting to hear what others think of this -? Regards, Gareth.

The problem could be the ignition switch or the key? - Today

Ideally need it sorting ASAP, definitely can't wait 4 months for a response. The water could get into the wiring loom etc and render the car worthless. Thanks

Pauline S.S. replied to Pauline S.S.'s topic in Audi Q5 Club

Sounds like it's that then.

Q5 - Stop/Start system fault + brake servo restricted
Steve Q replied to Pauline S.S.'s topic in Audi Q5 Club
Keep us posted on how you get on. Definitely don't drive it unless you really have to as long term it can damage the abs pump/module which is a big bill. -
Hi will do it’s dry around tunnel/centre counsel screen wash is going down without using it filled it 3 times today and every time it’s been below the plastic cup strainer

After a few minutes, car beeps at me and the clock turns off
Steve Q replied to eemew57's topic in Audi Q2 Club
Glad you've got sorted 🙂 maybe the MMI needs an update? -
Definitely worth contacting the motoring ombudsman, but it'll be a 4 month wait to get a case assigned.
-
If it gives you peace of mind for 2 years, then that’s all that matters. Expensive for what it is, but that’s how these things work.
-
Keep us posted on how you get on. Let's hope it is what you think and not a heater matrix. Is it losing coolant?
-
Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Looks lovely 🙂

dave72 started following water ingress
-
think i have found out where my water ingress is coming from its washer fluid topped up 3 times today and dropped below the plastic strainer cup does the pipe run down the drivers side
-
Thanks Gareth, I had the connector under the driver's see replaced just last year. That's why I thought I might have caused it disconnecting and reconnecting the door motor. Will try the spray as you suggest. Will also ask the local garage to run a fault diagnostic.
-
Thanks Pauline, For the benefit of others, could I ask how much a month this plan works out at?
-
Sorry to hear that Reg, Re. air bag light- get yourself an aerosol of contact cleaner, move the seat back as far as possible and squirt the contact cleaner on all the electrical plugs you can find under there. Do not ( in biggest caps!) disconnect anything - simply spray and wiggle the plugs. Hood warning light? Not sure about that, but could well be to do with something you have disturbed within the door/ flexible harness. Regards, Gareth. Reset? would have thought the car was to early for that.

@MagnetNo warranty as car is now 8 years old. I used to have an all in one policy which included warranty, two services and two MOTs. Service has been every yearly. New service agreement is two yearly services and 2 MOTs. Service plan is extensive and one I'm happy with. As I've said local 4x4 garage couldn't match it. Not much choice of garages in this rural part of Cornwall. @spartacus 68 Petrol / automatic. Low mileage may change - I need to see how I'm fixed over next few years. Really don't want to look at changing for another two years anyway.
-
Thanks everyone for your feedback. As a postscript to solving my window problem I have now got an air bag warning light and intermittent hood warning light. I assume I might have caused this when I was removing and refitting the window motor. Do I need to do some sort of reset? Thanks
-
Thanks Pauline, When you say you have taken out a 2 year service plan ( with Audi main dealer), can we take it that is for a service contract and does/doesn’t include warranty cover? How many services do you get for that during the 2 years, and at what mileage intervals? At what intervals (mileage) has the car been serviced at Audi over the last 4 years? Regards, Gareth.
