Hi Trevor Appreciate the reply. The £5250 I mentioned now appears just to be the labour. Audi want £7803 including VAT. However as a gesture of good will they will fix for £4694.77. The saga continues.......

Thank you Trevor. Appreciate the welcome and response. Still find it hard to believe after six months of owning the car this has happened. Feel like I should not have sold my BMW E46 convertible. 132K miles on the clock and no issues. Thought by buying a 3.0 litre engine it would last ten years! Do you know if Audi UK would do anything about this? Is it worth calling them and asking the question. Any view points on that. Many thanks in advance. Leo

Hi All Advice or help needed, just signed up to this forum hoping someone may have heard or sadly experienced this before. I have a A5 3.0 TDI Quattro s-line 242 bhp. Recently just spent £2863 on having my gearbox fixed (sensor issue so took the gearbox out and fixed, replaced every nut and blot and put back together) by Audi in Newbury (last week) to only be told that upon inspection that the engine has porous heads in the engine due a coolant leak and Audi now claim that to rebuild it and fix will cost an extra £5250. I actually want to die. How can this be correct. 3.0 TDI engine V6 blah blah blah has only done 89K miles. Has anyone heard of this before? No idea what to do. My wife laughing her head of at me saying you should not have bought the car earlier this year. Christmas around the corner etc etc. Any ideas welcome. Thanks
