Steve Q Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Obviously your car is at risk but I'd say the risk is low. Better to get it done sooner rather than later.聽 Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paxterg Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Got the recall too, pain in the a55! 聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanA4 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Same here. With the amount of mileage ive done since September it's going to need a service so I'll tie it in with that if I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 The recall takes an age to complete! I managed to amalgamate mine with my long life service due in 3 weeks time.聽When I asked how long it would take, they advised to allow a working day. Also, I was informed the heater element reaches it's upper limit and then triggers its thermal cut-out. So hopefully no fires! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good then, it's always good to combine the work to save trips to the dealer! :)聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste H Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I鈥檝e had this done the other day on A4 avant- 2014 and I鈥檝e noticed now that I鈥檓 getting a left dipped headlight / main beam fault coming up with a bulb picture and a x through it. The front light bulb still comes on for a bit then goes off again.聽 Could they have knocked a part or sensor when they fixed the heater issue? The headlight was fine till they messed聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see if they'll do a diagnostic check for free to see what fault codes flag up but good luck and let us know how you get on.

Ste H Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 They said the bulb has gone and needed a new one? Maybe it鈥檚 just a coincidence that it went the same time as the recall聽 anyway they wanted over 拢200 for a xenon bulb so got one off the net聽for 拢66 same Philips one as that came out聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
