Steve Q Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 If you bought it from a dealer then you have 30 days for a full refund or for the garage to fix it FOC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Hello Jonny, All I can add is that if this oil leak is near to/associated with the cambelt, then you are in a danger zone here, since oil and toothed belts are a recipe for disaster! Your quickest and most effective route is to get this investigated locally, - informing the seller of what you are doing - without delay (in caps). I would not be waiting for advice on any possible sources, since they are all going to be guesses without examining the car. Could you let us know how you get on Jonny? Kind regards, Gareth.

jraudi Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Big update on this situation was the engine may as well of been in a scrap yard , leaks from throttle body , sump and head , water in oil , injectors not fitted properly,brakes not fitted properly , engine had been previously removed and not put back together or placed in car properly , according the audi dealer it was a death trap on wheels and was quoted 6grand plus to sort some of the problems and look i to others that could of found even more things so the car is getting sold for spare or repair if no intrest will be scrapped not happy but the bloke who trading as a business has been reported for this by audi as they deemed it unsafe and dangerous should of not been on the road . Hope you all have a good day and thank you for your support in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
