"An excellent car spoilt by excessive parts costs and an arrogant company and dealers"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing major, but stupid, annoying things.

Fuel gauge intermittent;

Headlight adjuster fell apart;

Diesel heater plugs system intermittent;

accelerator pedal fell apart.

General comments?

Generally an excellent car. Comfortable, secure and very good on fuel (42+mpg consistently) but:-

(a) to correct even the simplest thing Audi will only sell whole units at exorbitant price.

(b) My experience of 2 major Audi dealers is bad. Usurous prices and attempts to "blind you with B-S".

Couldn't agree more!

The conclusion would be:

Great car hampered by a network of dodgy dealers/services.

Have an A6 Quattro; brought it working to service, got back a death trap !
