Its now 7 weeks since I last saw my £20k Audi A3. Audi have it, they cannot fix it and will not replace it or refund me.
Please bear with me as I am retrospectively posting to this blog. I am hoping to get all the posts up to date soon.

Charcoal Filter...
Lancaster Audi in manchester took a look at the car and decided that the indicator on the dashboard meant that the car needed a new charcoal filter (on a car that has done less than 2000 miles!!!!!).
They don't have any of these in stock but book the car in for repair for the following week

More warning lights!
A new light has just appeared on the dashboard of the car - I checked out the manual which tells me its something to do with the emmission control system!
2 engine warning lights on a car as new as this - maybe i'm just having a few teething troubles.
I called the helpful Audi Roadside Assistance (really just the RAC putting a different voice on!). The advice was that as long as the lights not flashing and the car still moves, things aren't that bad. They did advise me to take it to an Audi dealership to get it checked out though!

One month in and the car is going well!
It seems to have taken an age to run the engine in but we finally got thier and now we can "really" drive the car!
But wait... whats this?
An engine warning light on a brand new car - its asking to be filled up with oil!
Well, the nice man at Audi did give us a 1 litre container of oil to top the car up with, I'll just flip the bonnet and top the oil up - thats no bother...
