DAY 3 I am informed it will need a cylinder replacement and will cost approx £1000 to fit a used head, i give the go-ahead
Day 14 i get call its ready fully tested and waiting for pickup the bill is £1550 ????? Unfortunately i payup before a test drive but driving away i instantly notice no throttle response and sure enough within ten miles it goes into limp mode and i return it to be told they will sort it with no further cost to me.
DAY 30 i get a call am told it has now developed a cold start issue and although they dont know the cause its definetly nothing to do with their work so i will now be charged for further investigation.
DAY 41 i am told they cannot find the fault but theres a bill for £250 for them trying.
After 41 days and £1800 paid the vehicle is returned to me (it imediately goes into limp mode) but i am also disturbed to find the following. Arriving home i open the bonnet to find the engine head cover is not attached, a set of meter test leads have been left on the engine and most alarming a large steel pipe clamp has been left dangling on the fuel return pipe ready to trash the alternator belt mech below. in the drivers footwell i notice a selection of screws and bolts on inspection i find the facia at the diagnostic port has been undone and the port removed from its housing and left dangling and a component/plate on the steering column above the pedals has been removed and replaced with only one of its 4 retaining bolts .
And the" piece de resistance" i take the car to a Volkswagen Audi specialist in Runcorn who instantly diagnose a timing issue rebuilding the head they find the inlet cam timing out by 25degrees the cambelt tensioner is damaged and two teeth on camshaft pulley damaged unbelievable!!
Will I be using project Audi again ? Have a guess, total cowboys
Lads in the garage were brilliant and the lady behind the desk was very helpful and super friendly.
The owner made a point of coming out to make sure I was happy with the service before I got on my way.
Very nice garage to work with.
