Anton8 Posted October 4 Author Share Posted October 4 Just had Audi on the phone telling me that my car has 4 recalls to be done. 2 of which they have never done before. They need the car for at least 3/4 days to complete these. So, date put back from the 7th to the 21st October so they can give me a courtesy car. Just makes you wonder what needs doing.

cliffcoggin Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Four recalls on a car that is only a year old! That's got to be a new low point for Audi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton8 Posted October 5 Author Share Posted October 5 I think you should remember that is the point. The car is only a year old, the E-Tron GT model has only been in production for around 2.5 years so I would expect some mods. or tweeks to the vehicle. But saying that it does make you wonder what the recalls are. I will find out later this month. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 If it adds any reassurance, when I worked at VW a software update could be classed as a recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 To my way of thinking a recall is an expensive process that implies something drastic, possibly dangerous, has been overlooked at the design or construction or inspection stages of the car's production. If the fault is not drastic or dangerous then it can wait until a scheduled service, and a recall is unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the design and development of EVs has been rushed. Compared to hybrids which we've had since the late 1990s with the MK1 Prius.

Compared to hybrids which we've had since the late 1990s with the MK1 Prius. You're right there. Complacency amongst Western manufacturers about the future of electric cars allowed Chinese companies to gain a technological advantage and a significant market share. The Westerners, spurred on by our decisions concerning climate change, are now scrambling to catch up with the Chinese and making mistakes in the process. It's not inconceivable that some companies such as Ford will face financial ruin as a result of their decisions regarding EVs, but that whole subject is wildly off topic so I'll say no more here.

Solution Anton8 Posted yesterday at 08:44 AM Author Solution Share Posted yesterday at 08:44 AM Hi Just taken the car into Audi South East for it's recalls and service inspection. The recalls are = 1. Replace high voltage heater. 2. Replace flexible brake hoses, 3. Computer upgrade. 4. MMI upgrade. Also no courtesy car supplied as I am too old for their insurance. Getting used to things being taken away from me this year. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that's a hate crime on age grounds? Against the human rights act 1998 and equality act 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why the heater is being changed, but they said that there has been a few instances of the brake hosed cracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
