Dash pod

[Audi girl]

Dash pod has gone on my car. Having a lot of trouble with Audi dealer. Iv read it's common fault mostly in tt's but fairly common in a3's. Was on watchdog because of tt problem, Audi took responsibility for tt models but none other which baffles me? 

Anyone else had problems with dash pod? 

£800 charge for it yet others had it replaced free of charge?

im a student and mum and can't afford this when it looks to be a common manufacturing fault? 

thanks in advance x

This is not a dating site Darren XD

To answer your question Chloe, I'd contact head office and ask them :)

[rbdazza]

bugger, come to the wrong place clearly hahaha

[Audi girl]

I have been arguing with my local Audi for three days 😂 I have now gone higher, just waiting for a response. Just hoping it's a common fault as it was with the TT model x

[rbdazza]

you have to be firm with them. if they can brush you off they will, keep at 'em!

[Brad-B5]

Hopefully it will get sorted out in a quick manor, keep us updated  Chloe, be interesting to see what they say :)

It's driving me nuts. Luckily my dad has too many cars so iv got his x5 till my car is back on the road 🙃 

[rbdazza]

lucky you! the x5 is a nice motor!

[Audi girl]

Prefer my Audi. This things like a tank to drive.... and run 😂😂

[Brad-B5]

have you ever tried one off road? i have... they're not fun off road one bit, they're awful lol .

[Brad-B5]

Really! oh dear well that's disappointing or am I thinking of the Q5 lol :s

[rbdazza]

Hi Chloe

Here is a link to a thread we had on the forum w short while ago.

Not sure if its the same problem you are having but if you don't get a free replacement from Audi then this may be a cheaper option 

Cheers  Trevor

[rbdazza]

no feedback on that thread, perhaps we should email her :)

[Audi girl]

Still communicating with Audi 😭 Just want me baby back 

[Audi girl]

My whole dash pod needs replacing Trevor as everything's gone to !Removed! on it. Audi only deal with genuine parts so putting a cheap one in will be no good as Audi will need to reprogram it all. Spoke to lots of "Audi specialist" as they call themselves and the price Audi is charging is pretty bang on. Still not wanting to pay for a manufacturing fault on a 6 year old car 😂 Should never have gone after only 6 years in my opinion xx 

 

will keep you posted 😊

[Trevor]

look forward to hearing of a successful outcome....fingers crossed

[rbdazza]

are you still pushing them to pay for it? if you push hard enough they may at least drop the price a bit as good will, good luck with it 

[Brad-B5]

Fingers crossed it goes well! :)

[Audi girl]

Three and a half weeks later and my cars back. Apparently it started to work again all on its own 🤔

Its got other work to be done though so still can't drive it 😭😂

[rbdazza]

good when that happens innit!!

what else needs doing? 

[Audi girl]

Rear springs need replacing, 3 new tyres and my flywheel still needs to be fitted 😂😂 FML 🙊

and MOT
