Year of Manufacture *: 2016
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 2480 cc CZGB
This is a family member, purchased vehicle new from Audi
A3 RS3 2480cc CZGB
reg: 04/03/2016
7,000 miles approx
Just wondering if anyone has heard anything through the grapevine or know issues, Audi say this is the first one they have seen
About 10 days ago a warning light came on for low coolant, they checked and no coolant in reservoir
They rang Audi and they recovered the vehicle, later that day they got a call to say it will require a new engine (after 8 months). They told Audi they wanted their money back or a replacement vehicle, that request fell on deaf ears
Well they got a call yesterday to say the car was fixed, when they collected they said they were very cagey and just told them the top end had been replaced, did not explain if a new head was fitted or just the head gasket.
Audi will not replace a new vehicle if it's over six months old, they must be given the opportunity to fix it first
As you can imagine they are now paranoid an thoroughly P****d off that their 40k car has had major work already
Anyone any thoughts or heard anything like it?
