Mods - feel free to move to defectors forum; I placed here as I want some advice and don't want people to miss it.
Anywho....
I purchased an Audi s5 for the low £30k's a year ago. It had5 months manufacturers warranty left on it and then a Audi Approved Used warranty.
At xmas it failed on me on a country lane 2 hours from home. It was recovered and the clutch master cylinder replaced. Last Tuesday I dropped it in for its first service under me and the clutch again went (albeit a different part) whilst parked on their forecourt.
Audi are not approving a warranty repair as they want to see the reason, via pictures which apparently involves removing the V8 and gearbox at 20hrs odd work to take out and put back in, at my cost if they refuse to replace it.
What should I do - I am not authorising the work as it could cost 2k....???!!!?
It is not the clutch plate that needs replacing, which I could see as a wear and tear item, but something else ancillary.
My real thought is that I dont want this car anymore, as good as it is, because I dont trust it has been constructed correctly.
Is it too late to reject it after 12 months? Web a myriad of conflicting answers as always...
