Can Audi listen to it in this format lol

[0120raptor]

They have done and agreed it`s the chain.

 Chain 3 good.MP3   421.47K   56 downloads

Sounds just like this. Always at 2000 rpm after engine was hot then left to stand a few hours. Sometimes straight from cold..

They are "looking into it" as I was told.In other words they haven`t a clue.

I've a mental picture of them staring at the engine then closing the bonnet to go draw straws in the dealer canteen

That`s it.I didn`t tell them how to open the bonnet.

See think it's all in the name master tech = unless computer says there's something wrong it's fine .
Bring back master mechanic = someone who knows at least which way round to hold a spanner

The chap I spoke to used to work at Audi ......... He said all they are is part fitters

He told me some stories about warranty cases and what goes on at dealerships.
It wasn't a huge surprise to be honest.

But they get paid for more than you think on warranty cases.

Audi=useless


A creak from the front is classed as a 'normal' operational noise.

God help us all with RS models.

Went up to Bolton Audi yesterday to check on how my chain noise was going and to swap wheels on my car so I can fitthe winter tyres.Managed to sneak into the workshop to see if my car was still there.It was.Very impressed with
their layout ,spotlessly clean.Not impressed with the tyre guy.I was quite prepared to swap wheels myself.I came
with trolley jack and torque wrench but was told the tyre lad would do it.So I watched in horror as he air gunned
the wheel nuts back on. I didn`t say anything but made a mental note to check the torque when or if I ever get the car back.
As regards the chain .They have fitted something in or around the oil filter (can`t find out exactly what)that
hasn`t made any difference at all.They have one more thing to try and then it may possibly need a new engine.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[T-800]

A new engine

Well I suppose it's a cure Neil 🏻

Thank god for the warranty.
