Hi Everyone
My wife bought a new AUDI RS6 on the 9th may 2023 from audi blackburn in lancashire for the Sum of £119,000 it was a cash Purchase
The car was remapped ie engine upgrade on the 1/7/23 by a company called DMS Automotive, this was just purely for better mpg,
the car had a towbar fitted on the 5/3/24 by buchans of Glasgow
The car created a major fault on the 10/3/24 with 1550 miles on the clock, and coming up with 21 faults on the AA Mechanics screen, of a electrical system failure, ie the 48v starter generator yellow light then 15 mins later red light into cut out in a busy road junction
The car was recovered to Stirling audi to get fixed because there booking system was showing the earliest appointments available, the car was there for 2-3 wks on getting a new 48v starter generator system fitted under warranty, audi uk knew the car was remapped because it comes up with a code TD1 on audi software, and had a tow bar fitted but still carried on with the warranty work
i got the car back and it broke down on my driveway with the same fault electrical systems failure on the 28th march, i tried to reject the car with the dealer principle James eccles but he refused rejection
i instructed my solicitor who was in negotiations audi blackburn, they said we haven't had our chance to repair under the CRA 2015 before rejection can take place, we let them recover the car on the 17th july to fix it, so 4 months later with no second car, they had the car until the 8th august, the car was returned fixed
But then on the 11th august the car broke down with me again saying electric system failure, and is still park outside with this problem, after they was meant to fix it
I have searched the internet Audi forum regarding this problem and so many people are experienced the same problem with this. 48v starter generator on the RS6
So Blackburn audi are saying no to the rejection because the car has been heavily modified, with the remap and towbar and said that is what has caused the problem, so no warranty is on the car
if that was the case audi stirling wouldn’t of fixed the car in the first place under warranty, and blackburn audi wouldn’t of fixed it either in august
The car is not fit for purpose and is dangerously unroadworthy
so we are taking them to court!
