Halfords should be putting this right. What did they say after they did it?

Glad you got sorted 🙂

Following on from Gareth's advice, check for a Cambelt and water pump change, check to see proof of gearbox oil services and quattro system services.

Make them aware you're concerned that the two cars are totally different despite being mechanically the same and ask for a refund? You're allowed a refund up to the first 30 days after sale.

Very true

I think it's either continental or hancook.

I don't think you can as it's illegal in the UK to have that feature I believe. It would have to be activated by coding as I appreciate other countries have different rules.

Glad you got sorted. It's so nice to hear a positive story about a main dealer.

No probs

Hidden your for sale post for you. If you decide to sell in the future I can just unhide it.

As you've bought this from a dealer within the lady 4 weeks get it back to them asap as they have an obligation to fix problems in the first 4 weeks after sale free of charge.

Report it to auto trader then you'll know if it's fake if it gets removed.

Bless ya. What 4x4 you looking at? Might be worth doing a for sake post on the for sale section. Make sure you put a price and location. What else still needs doing?

She looks amazing, what's making you want to sell her after all the hard work you've done?

Congratulations! The car definitely takes second place. Hope you all have a fantastic day tomorrow. Hope the weather is great 🙂

Why can't the dealer get the electronic print out? Make sure there's proof of cambelt and water pump change and gearbox oil service. I got an electronic print out for my ford Kuga recently and it had 30k miles missed off it! Even though it's only been serviced at midnight dealer from new. Luckily my Kuga still has a service book and I've got the invoices. The problem is now with GDPR it's harder to see the proof of work done

Definitely could be the sensor. This would be picked up on a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up.

you can get the egr and dpf napped out if you have a remap. Make sure you use one that's got a rolling road so it's done properly. You'll be looking around £500. But bare in mind the government are looking at ways to test cars to see if they have emissions cheating software installed. Alternatively replace the egr or egr cooler if that's the problem.

At a guess It could be an injection issue or issue with an injection pump. The later needs coding to the car if you source a replacement.

I'd be speaking to Audi customer services asap. This should definitely be a warranty job. Makes me wonder if the car has got damaged in transit on the way to the dealer. You could also try contacting the motoring ombudsman but this is a long process (6 months plus). Also if you bought it on finance then it might be worth speaking to the finance company, stating your case that the car is not fit for purpose and want a refund/end early etc. The finance company then should do a battle with Audi. Also research your consumer law. In the UK if there's a fault with a product (including cars) with the first 6 months of purchase then in the eyes of the law the defect was there at the time of sale and it's the responsibility of the seller to prove otherwise. After 6 months it's the other way around.

Could be. Could be an issue with the turbo. And it's leaking oil into the turbo. It can cause engine to run away. Look ar it on YouTube

Have you tried the spare key? Are the symptoms the same with that.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up or get an auto electrician to take a look.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be more than one issue. Could be a glow plug issue, injector, cam position sensor etc.
