I bought my first audi with great anticipation, 2nd hand with remainder of the maintenance contract. Never had a days trouble, It was an exceptional find, 3 years later and it drives as the day it drove off the factory floor.. until I took it for its first off-maintenance service at Sandton audi, I knew the cambelt was almost due for a change, but I was budgeting for its first major out of pocket service. Pleasantly surprised when a standard services amounted to R2800, Requested Sandton to analyse the suspension and readjust my clutch hydrolics as similar problem cropped up during maintenance and it was easily resolved. This time round Audi slapped me with 4 page replacement list amounting to R54000, I responded in disbelief as their has never been a single hassle other than a brief low clutch pressure issue. I was told I need not worry as these aren't urgent repairs but suggested for future reference, low and behold within a fckn week I started having problems with knocks and noises from my undercarriage progressively getting worse. I have to commend there ingenuity when it comes to fabricating faults that never existed before. Problem is, I consider these actions life threathing
