VAG specialists, that's the keyword. Thanks.

I'm looking for the nearest independent audi garage that can look after my Audi A1, I'm in the East Hampshire area. Audi dealership charges £200 a hour. Thanks, Alex

It's particularly surprising given the Teutonic attitude to quality. 😞
-
You may be right, I'll get it replaced. But I still think we should be able to repair these things rather than put into the landfills 😞
-
eurocarparts sells replacements for about £170. Gawd knows what my friendly local garage will charge. I've just seen a video where someone extracts the wiper motor, disassembles it, pops the gears out of it and puts it in vinegar for a day or so, and it's fixed with some grease. Has anyone tried that and had positive results?
-
Yeah I probably will have a look at it tomorrow see if it's something I can sort easily before I refer it to my friendly local garage. Thanks

It stopped working a few days ago and I can hear it whining when I try to turn it on. What's likely to be wrong with it?

The mystery is solved! It was a faulty hearing aid! Had that blasted thing bleeping today all the way to Kent from Hampshire. I'm deaf and wear hearing aids. Good news, I'm due for replacement in a few months' time. Sammie's in fine health! ❤️

Ok thanks. No, I'm aware it's best to check the pads and discs as well.

I've done 2000 miles now. The oil level is now on the high mark on the dip stick. Mind you I think the previous owner slightly overfilled it as it was 5mm above the high mark.

My previous BMW had brake wear sensors, does the Audi A1 1.4 (2016) have these as well? Thanks,
-
Fixed. Car was in and out within 2 hours! Happy that it's now locked down.
-
I'm used to BMW level cost of repairs! 😛

Happened again on the way home from Kent. Kept beeping until I was half way home, then it stopped! Weird!

Faulty locking mechanism. They're replacing it on Monday. £130, not bad.
