  1. Audi dealers are notoriously expensive when it comes to repairs. Have you tried a local garage/repair shop? I assume such places still exist in the USA.
  2. That's unfortunate, but has at least eliminated unmatched tyres as the source of the noise, and should give you confidence in them. Did you choose low noise tyres for the replacements?
  3. Perhaps ask David Burch directly. https://www.allbiz.ch/dave-s-garage-041-670-33-18
  4. It seems so Gareth, but you could send an email instead.
  5. David. I have merged your latest post into an identical one you posted on May 18th last year. Have you even bothered to read the reply from Steve Q?
  6. It is worth trying to negotiate with the owner directly, rather than through the middle man, if that is possible and legal in Singapore. You may not get any where, but if other possible buyers have looked at, and rejected, the car on the basis of the repair cost, he may be tempted to compromise.
  7. Paul would you care to edit your last message. I think you omitted your own text as it contains nothing but quotations of the two previous messages.
  8. Tyres nowadays have noise ratings as well as speed, grip, energy efficiency and other ratings. Do let us know the outcome.
  9. Impressive. Hard to believe it only cost $7000.
  10. No, since they presumably have been on the car for a long time so you would have noticed a noise long ago if they were responsible for it. You said, or at least implied, that the hum began recently, and the only other recent changes you have told us of are the front tyres and a CV joint. Constant velocity joints don't hum, but tyres do, so I have no doubt that one or both of the new front tyres is the cause of the noise. Have you tried my suggestion of fitting the spare wheel as a test?
  11. Not too serious, but also not cheap to fix depending on what needs to be renewed.
  12. It's about £1700 Gareth. A considerable sum to lose if I am understanding Riyss properly.
  13. If I understand correctly you have paid a $3000 non refundable deposit so you are committed to buying the car. Is that correct? I suggest you assess whether the total purchase cost plus the cost of necessary repairs is worthwhile, or whether you should abandon the deal and lose $3000. Only you can make that decision in the light of local car values.
  14. So you have a pair of worn out tyres at the back and two unmatched new tyres at the front? It's not worth considering any thing else until you get the tyres sorted out.
