Audi girl Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Dash pod has gone on my car. Having a lot of trouble with Audi dealer. Iv read it's common fault mostly in tt's but fairly common in a3's. Was on watchdog because of tt problem, Audi took responsibility for tt models but none other which baffles me? Anyone else had problems with dash pod? £800 charge for it yet others had it replaced free of charge? im a student and mum and can't afford this when it looks to be a common manufacturing fault? thanks in advance x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audi girl Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 I have been arguing with my local Audi for three days 😂 I have now gone higher, just waiting for a response. Just hoping it's a common fault as it was with the TT model x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hi Chloe Here is a link to a thread we had on the forum w short while ago. Not sure if its the same problem you are having but if you don't get a free replacement from Audi then this may be a cheaper option Cheers Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbdazza Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 no feedback on that thread, perhaps we should email her :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audi girl Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Still communicating with Audi 😭 Just want me baby back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audi girl Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 My whole dash pod needs replacing Trevor as everything's gone to !Removed! on it. Audi only deal with genuine parts so putting a cheap one in will be no good as Audi will need to reprogram it all. Spoke to lots of "Audi specialist" as they call themselves and the price Audi is charging is pretty bang on. Still not wanting to pay for a manufacturing fault on a 6 year old car 😂 Should never have gone after only 6 years in my opinion xx will keep you posted 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 look forward to hearing of a successful outcome....fingers crossed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbdazza Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 are you still pushing them to pay for it? if you push hard enough they may at least drop the price a bit as good will, good luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
