  1. Having recently gone through the pain of a £5000 mechanical repair bill for the above car,I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem. The fault was diagnosed as a gearbox failure where the Mechatron had died.Does this happen often and ,if so,is it inevitable during the cars lifetime?
  2. 65 Audi A3 hybrid.Bought July( with 4year RAC Warranty) 2020.Maintained correctly. 87k miles now 84.5k miles when purchased.Broke down on way home.Taken to main dealer.Diagnostics showed above fault £4400 cost of repair. Approached RAC Warranty people.Part not covered!!!!.Any advice welcome. Have thought of taking it back to Carbase from who I bought it.
  3. Hi.Currently have a 65 reg A3 e-tron 1.4 Sportback Hybrid.Recently had a breakdown on a roundabout,not far from Longleat.Was rescued and eventually vehicle transported to Audi main dealer Mon Motors as other garages wouldn't touch it due to complicated nature of repairs.Diagnostics showed,among a few minor problems,that the car required a replacement Mechatron.The cost of this was £2900 for the part itself but including labour and VAT was £4400.As the car was under an RAC Warranty I tried to make a claim but was told the parts were not covered.This I thought was disgusting as I am paying nearly £1300 for this cover,and I also blame Carbase the dealer I purchased the car who took the cover out on my behalf.The major problem is what to do next as I can't afford to get it repaired as I am a pensioner.If I do get it repaired somehow then I won't be able to pay my fuel bills this winter.I was thinking of selling it as it is back to the dealer and use it as a deposit for another car but I am not sure that is financially viable.Any suggestions welcome.
