Pistol Pete Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Agreed. I don't think it's ever affected me due to always towing with a petrol manual cars, I presume its normally the auto gearboxes that require the extra cooling?? Quote
Arm Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Have you tried it yet ? Sorry to say it was one of my least favourite cars. Quote
Nemesis Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Just when the salesman thinks you've finished battering him don't forget to make sure it's got a real spare and not a can of gloop ! Quote

Hasn;'t been there for a couple of months now, he's either given up or had the engine changed. The problem did only affect TSI petrol engines of which all the Audi range were affected. I know one lady that fills up her A1 every week at a local petrol station then goes next door to Rayleigh Audi to have at least a 1/2litre of oil filled by salesman that sold her the car, she never pays for it Quote
Mattt Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 If you want Gap insurance, buy it from ALA or Frank Pickles etc not from the Dealer. Quote

Young Pretender Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 If you need a towbar fitted, I can recommend a company too - they come to you. Had one fitted to a new sportage for 350 when the dealer was was quoting 750! No problems with warranty - the dealer paid half the price Quote
