E Tron GT Brakes Hoses

[kevinR]

Took my E Tron GT into a dealer last week to have the front brake hoses changed under a recall. ( also the internal heater module, both Porche parts !! ) Should have taken a day, got a call later in the day to say there was a problem with the hoses and they had to order more from Audi Germany.  Then told they are on back order and they have no idea when they will get them !!!  also took the dealer 2 days to tell me this.

Not sure i am smelling a rat here and something has happened to my car they do not want to tell me about !  has anyone heard of brake hoses being on back order and Audi unable to get them ?

E mailed Audi UK customer services but not getting a lot back from them !

thanks

A recall will undoubtedly mean many people are wanting those hoses at the same time so I am not surprised they are out stock, though sensible planning for the recall should have ensured enough were made available beforehand. Am I being unrealistic to expect common sense from Audi?

What i find hard to believe is the dealer told me the replacement hoses were faulty !!! and now cannot get any more.  Interested to know if anyone else has tried to take a GT in for hoses to be replaced and the dealer has has issues getting them ?

There was a recent topic on the matter in this forum that would be worth searching for.
