Steve Q Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Just now, Patrico777 said: Im going to call tomorrow morning and complain! How come their computer doesnt pick up the belt fault ? This may be because the fault occurred after a 100 miles after it was fitted if that makes sense? Obviously the garage wouldn't have road tested too far. Hence why it probably didn't show up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnet Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 ..I'm getting a little lost here Patrick. "Why doesn't the computer pick up the belt fault..?" What belt fault? I would take some convincing that this is anything to do with the cambelt work, but possibly everything to do with the emission recall work. Simple but important question Patrick:- Did you know they were going to carry out this recall work? It would be well worth reading the posts under Recalls near the top of the forum. Are you saying Audi are going to rectify your current lights-up problem without charge? Kind regards, Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone told me on forums, and on facebook forums as well, that timings out ? My car had recall done but before I bought it, spoke to emissions audi centre they going to change egr free of charge yes, called audi now regarding this code that my obd shows they said we only go by our computers here in Audi not by any others and they said glow plug light is fault of egr which im having done on tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnet Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Thanks Patrick, The whole situation is much clearer now, and it foes demonstrate the importance of listing the detail and sequence of events. Still we are getting there now. Yes, understandable Audi will not accept any fault code readings other than those carried out at their dealers. Good and correct. So if it turns out this car has EGR (etc.) issues then Audi are going to carry out this work free of charge then? Almost unbelievably joyous news to the ears of others who have suffered after these recalls! Where we potentially fall down on detail again is - did you buy this car from an Audi dealership? If so, is it possible that their offer to pay to rectify the fault is as part of the guarantee for the car, and not as a result of any problems arising following the recall work being carried out? Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I have bought the car from showroom in sussex I have 3 months warranty from them still, yes the egr going to be changed free of charge, spoke to audi emissions and they made claim for me with refrence, I hope everything is ok with cambelt and hope my reading are wrong regarding p0013-1b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
