hahahahahaha......driving the missus Micra at the mo. Advertised my 1.8TQS and it sold the same week. If all else fails with cardiff Audi and they don't help you I would get reports for all the faults like the exhaust then send them all to Audi.uk. Let them sort all the **** out. Another thing they did with mine was to quote £180 to change the timing belt. When I came to pick the car up and pay they tried to charge £320. Asked them why and they said they had changed the tensioner for an uprated one and all new aux belts. At no point did they call to say they were doing more work, so I refused to pay!!! The noob on the service desk refused to give me the keys and there was a big stand off untill the manager came down. Just to get the car back i had to agree to pay, but with the VAT knocked off. Bridgend Audi is on Tremains road which is easy to find. Spend a bit of time around Cardiff, but not regular.......roll on November though as I had the build date for mine yesterday at week 41
........Also tomorrow should be an OK day too as I have to go to Oxford to pick up my mothers new motor. A Merc C180K Sports in fire opal red. happy days LOL
Aww well your saving fuel on that and insurance im taking it lol so not that bad. and only driving it till november. Well thats good managed to sell your 1.8TQS straight away. Mind if i ask how much for? (hope you dont think im being cheeky). Yeah i might have to i think one of my first threads was about my exhaust and they were pretty good. But it just seems to be alot worse now. And its annoying when people like your car dont sound good
£180-£320 WHAT! Aw i would of been pretty p*ssed. Ok now i would of kicked off a bit there. Should at least have the respect and proper customer service trying to know before you do some more work to let the customer know your gonna be doing this and that. Not hard to pick up the phone call you and say 'Hi we gonna do tensioner for an uprated one and all new aux belts'. Haha stand off i would of loved to be there sounds so funny. How much was it after the VAT was removed?
Yeah i think im gonna actually go up there tomorrow or call them and book it in for a health check. And just explain whats going on. The noise has gone for the times been! But for last 5days comes and goes. Ahh i bet you cant wait! lol i'd be so excited. Me i cant wait till i have enough money hopefully i'll be having a s3 when im 21. Ahh A Merc C180K Sports in fire opal red. Nicee you driving up to oxford im taking it. Would you mind putting some photos up so i could see what it likes? Nice son of you to go get your mums car but it is just because you can drive it all the way back lol?
Ive had a couple of people mention to me about good service from bridgend audi...must admit ive not had any problem from cardiff audi yet myself...(except for some high quotes) but sounds like your not getting any joy from cardiff so would def give bridgend a try. Tell them that you've not been happy with service from cardiff audi and explain why. Can be difficult to get the point across that not every young driver is a typical boy racer who is always screwing the hell out of his car.
good luck :thumbsup:
Hi thanks for the reply
Yeah been on the form a month or so and have looked at some thread people saying Bridgend Audi good etc. I wouldnt class it as a problem yet they just stuck up there own a*se (ok im lying its a problem) and there ignorant just because i didnt come in buy a brand new or newer car and im young they probably think they can take the p*ss. But we do have our fair few of wannabe boy races.
In cardiff mcdonalds ALL the time its like max power! Racing around mcdonalds in circles. One of them did actually hit my a3 while at the drive through he started doing a burn out no one was behide me so i backed off abit but d**k decided to stick it in reverse and see if he could do it went straight into the fron of me!
I got out of the car (kinda lost my tempah) Pulled him out of his car by the window. Lucky for him no damage to my baby lol. But he had a nice dent and he didnt get his food drove off. If you want to mess around go do it where NO ONE else is and on your own private property.
But they will learn either the hard way or easy way(decide to be mature)
I dont know how many corsa fiesta clios all p*mped out have tried racing me im quite happy to just let them speed off. Just on the dual carriageway when i put my foot down haha
But anyway defo gonna go up or call bridgend
Have been using Sinclair Audi in Bridgend & Swansea for fifteen years & have never had any problem with the them. Bought my new car from Bridgend this year, would highly recomend.

Benskin,
Get shot of that car and buy mine!!:icon_thumright:
Boosterrrrr! Lol Some one actually came to look at my car and my friend from work said they buy mine for £8,350 if i can get these problems sorted. So i could be coming your way. how the family? And the lessons going? :thumbsup:
I would follow the advise that other have said - ie go elsewhere for a second opinion or if its not under warrenty find a good reliable vag / audi specalist and ask them to look at it.
If you do go back to Cardiff Audi ask the manager to explain how a handbrake turn effects the front tyres as they are seriously trying to fob you off.

hi richard thanks for the reply
Yeah im defo gonna get a second opinion. Its under warrenty still got 11months on it. Yeah im gonna see if i can find a vag/audi specalist today and ask them to have a look. But wont be able to let them have a look till tomorrow or next week
Im going back up there today to pay for the bill and i phoned earlier and said i want another reciept and they was like why
Not gonna explain on the phone because some people seem to be ***** on the phone. Rather chat to some one face to face.
I'll type a bit of what it says on it now....
