Hi,
Had my 'free' mot today at audi, and was told the car was very tidy and overall very good condition, but failed on leaking power steering pipe.
Pipe from compressor to the rack ? I was told by the nice lady....
Quoted aroud 150 for the pipe, and i think about 200 all in for it fitted.
Normally i would have repaired this myself, as i have done with all my cars but i dont have time to book it in elsewhere for another MOT, and i need the car back asap.
So i just said yes over the phone.
Was that a silly thing to do ? Should i be asking to see the new and old pipes etc ?
I check all the levels weekly and i dont think the fluid was going down, but as i say i need the car back so had to let them do it.
Is it a big con to make money from the free mot - can they really lie or should I just accept I had a leaky power steering pipe ?
