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.

Dashboard disco part 3
The same emmision control light appeared on the dash display again today.
We call Audi Roadside Assistance who come out to the car to have a look at it.
The guy tells me that the filtering system on these cars is over sensitive which is what is making this light appear on the dashboard (and I thought it was because the car was faulty!!).
He plugs in some computer and the light goes off.
He then leaves.

Oil light (again...)
The oil light just came on the dashboard again. Its pissing down with rain and dark when I get home from work, even so, when the engine has cooled - I pop the bonnet on my brand new A3 and add another half litre of oil.
Somehow I feel humiliated to have spent this much on a brand new car to be standing in the rain, when its dark filling the thing up with oil!
Current oil consumption at 2500 miles - 1 litre plus what was in the car when we picked it up new

Fixed car
We just got our car back from Lancaster Audi. They fitted a new charcoal filter and the light has now gone from the dashboard...
Happy motoring:-)
