cheers Gareth, with regards to warranty Audi will not honor  because last service was done with car doing 450 miles over scheduled service period

going to take car back to where I bought it in October this year, they gave me 4 months warranty or 4000 miles , will post what there find/do

some body must have had similar issues , 

come on guys 

issue ,audi a3 1.6 tdi s-a 2016 , 

cold start noise injectors chattering not sure what

? any thoughts

Hi Gareth, had my car in Audi (Stockton on tees ) today was told that the issue regarding noisy/sluggish cold start maybe a TPi 2047310/13 

don't know what that means , but there said that there records show that the car was last inspected at 30,400 miles 

and therefore warranty void , I gave  them recent service detail completed on  57400 miles as requested 

the garage who sold the car to me told me to contact Audi UK ,this  I have done and there are investigating the service history 

any thoughts ?  anybody know what TPl 2047310/13 means 

on the bright side I did get free brake/suspension /exhaust check + valet 

well Magnet , when I booked car in ,there said e-mail would follow , that hasn't,  ring today to confirm

I'm told  vehicle is booked in , (still no e-mail ) 

lets  see 

cheers for quick reply , car booked into Audi (Teesside) tues next will let everybody know outcome 

thanks Magnet .

Hello Graham,

Apologies if this initially appears to be unhelpful, but I really would not waste valuable time in trying to canvas opinion on the forum, when your far better option would be to book it into the main dealer and leave them sort the issue out under warranty. I’m sure you will appreciate that it would be very difficult for anyone to diagnose the actual cause of the problem without examining the car. 

If I may offer you advice:- 

Book the car in without delay and ( most importantly) e-mail them the details of the problem and the date you registered this discontent. If they say they cannot look at the car immediately then it’s even more important to e-mail them with the date and nature of the complaint. As I see it, if you have proof of registering the problem before the warranty expires, then they have a duty to sort it out, even if the resolution takes the time beyond the warranty and expiry date. I’m sure you will see the importance of having proof ( via. e-mail not simply phone call) for this to work. 

Time is of the essence here Graham,

Good luck in sorting it out, and perhaps you would let the forum know how you get on.

Kind regards, 

Gareth. 

Hi and hello to everyone , first time user/member here ,
