2004 Audi A3 TDI DSG review from UK and Ireland
"OK"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I brought my Audi A3 2.0 TDI DSG Sport in July 2007.
After about two months of owning it, the problems started. The car won't start when the engine is cold; it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to start. It will tick over but won't fire up, so I took it back to the Audi dealership (down south in the UK) and they had it for 3 days.
They cleaned the wires, which up didn't work, and they tried all sorts. The sixth time they changed the ECU, which still didn't work.
I am now taking legal advice a year later after the problem started. The dealership manager will not accept the rejection, he has not been no help whatsoever. The rudest man I've ever known.
General comments?
Apart from the problem, it's a nice car but I would never pay for another Audi.
