My prop shaft failed when the car was standard at around 4000 miles, I had the same problem with the courtesy car but refused the offer of an A1and demanded an RS or S model, it look a while to deliver but I was given an S3 sportback the same day! May be a bit of a snobby thing to do but I was worried it may take weeks to fit so why should I have driven something sub-standard to mine!

 

The fix took just over a week at Stockport Audi, didn't get questioned on any mods as they have had several visits from people with the same failure. My point was that a car of such power should be built to withstand the stress of the LC, no matter how many times you used it (within reason).

 

I asked if it wasn't covered by warranty what would the cost be and was advised it would be around £2500

 

Good luck

Pm sent to statllers ..

As my dad would say £2500 what's it made of ,,gold !

As soon as i hear from Audi i will let you all know the outcome, i have got my fingers & toes crossed hoping its done under warranty.

[Gussman]

That's terrible mate, hope it gets sorted.

I went in to Audi newcastle today and they told me all of the data had been sent away and it should only take 1-2 days for Audi to get back to them with a solution & answers.

[Uncle Fester]

Hope everything goes smoothly for you and is sorted under warranty.

[Klauster]

Bloody hell... Sleepless nights good luck fella

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if your car has been remapped then you have got no chance of anything being covered under warranty.

As soon as they realise that the ECU has been tampered with they will wash their hands of it.

Ok guys, there is no need to spell it out for him.

Hi fletch statllers have a fuel tank if needed they used the other parts on the golf sorry mate ...

[Mr_Freeze]

Hi Fletch, sorry to read your story.
I took a lot of flak for not using LC once I had it mapped, but I just didn't want it to go and me be in the same situation as you are now.
I hope they don't spot it, but I fear the worst.

[AwesomeMark]

Sad times

[FletchRS3]

I am pretty sure i know the answer but its worth a try on the warranty if they say no then its going to be an expensive fix for me.

All i can do is hope for the best if they say no it is not covered then all donations are welcome....hahaha..!!!!

[Klauster]

We all live in hope that they don't spot anything

[Kelza]

Sad times it is ,I just don't understand Audi fitting weak propshafts and bolts ,does this happen to the other RS models ,ok the ttrs but this should not be happening total joke tbh ,so I,m sure this will be fixed by Audi ...
