Too true! But the other assault on older cars is the change of fuel mixture. For example the new petrol being produced has more sulphur in it which I believe can damage older petrol engines and fuel systems. As you say once they've got rid of petrol/diesel electric cars will not only be taxed to death but the cost to us both in electricity price increases as you stated, but also the increase in taxes due to the I creased need to build more power stations.

Welcome to the forum Lee, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Lovely looking a7 🙂 Cheers Steve

I think the allroad is different due to the chunkier wheel arches

I worked at Volkswagen and hated it when we had customers in for the recalls. The amount of time it couldn't be done due to faults found on the diagnostic check just got customers mad. I would always advise people not to have the emissions recalls done as it wasn't worth the risk in my eyes. The road tax situation is a joke. I mean my Audi is now in semi retirement so doesn't do anywhere near the miles it once did but tax is still £250. That's the same with my old Ford escort which is slightly higher than that! And the escort only comes out occasionally, weather dependent of course. Yet a Prius can have free road tax due to hybrid yet the petrol engine is worse for the environment.

Funnily enough there's a similar thing with mercs also at the moment. Guess they're looking for new things to chase now the ppi compensation has ended.

Might be worth plugging the car into vagcom or similar to see if there's any fault codes Regarding the issue. Cheers Steve

Glad it's all sorted for you. 🙂

Really sorry for your situation. I wonder if you would get better service bat another Audi dealer. Definitely worth a shot if stoke Audi won't do anything.

Hope you find a buyer soon. 👍

You're welcome, sorry I can't help more. It is a pain of a job. Cheers Steve

You have 30 days to take it back to the dealer you bought it from to rectify the issue. As up to 30 days you are still entitled to a full refund. Cheers Steve

Have you got it in a garage yet and if so What were the fault codes from the diagnostic check? If you break it I'm sure till make more than £300 in parts but that's if you've got the space abd time. It is a Lovely looking TT abd definitely a future classic. I personally wouldn't have said 136k is high miles for a 54 plate car. It's only 8500 miles per year. My a6 is on 332k miles. So id class yours as low mileage 😉 Cheers Steve

Hmm ok, well my advice would be to buy a second hand complete unit from eBay or speak to any independent engineering companies local to you. Cheers Steve

Let them have it untill they fix it. Sorry you're having issues.

Sorry to hear your having these issues. Make sure the warranty is definitely an Audi one abd not 3rd party. Cheers Steve

Think you'd be fine with the spacer size you mention. I'd get tracking checked afterwards. My advice would be to buy a copy of performance Audi to get an idea for performance companies that'll sell them. Cheers Steve

It's in the right section. My advice would be to speak to Audi or a vag specialist.

Welcome to the forum David, glad you're pleased with your purchase. As long as the car is in fine fettle I'd say just keep on top of the servicing etc Cheers Steve

Simply Audi this Sunday 2nd with prebooked tickets only. There's still time for those who are wanting to go.

The glue has probably come unstuck. My advice would be to get a auto trimmer to repair it. Cheers Steve

It should be covered free of charge from the dealership you bought it from for the first 30 days. Cheers Steve
