    Too much oil

    That’s a cold dip. Wiped and dipped again. Bare in kind I have also lost oil driving home from the dealer and whilst sat in the garage. Leads me to believe it was very over filled initially. ****** off that a dealer could be so negligent. Had a cam belt and water pump. Haldex and brake fluid...

    Too much oil

    My concern is I drive 75 miles home with it like that. Will call them tomorrow and see what they say. Very disappointed a main dealer did this. Even more disappointed at the amount of damage to the seals, cat that could have happened

    A3 Folding Mirrors

    Had the same thing happen to me. I spec'd folding mirrors and it didn't come with them. Dealer said they couldn't be retro fitted, but after a few calls to various other dealers found out they could be done for £640. Humble pie from my dealer and they were fitted in a day LOL. They did offer the...

    wonderful way to start the day....

    Sorry to disagree mate, but they do not have to turn up unless there is someone injured or its a hit and run.
