You can extend the Audi warranty but it's still operated by a third party company.
Prices that Audi quote on their website do seem to vary.

But they are all insurance based and will do everything they can to wiggle out of paying, I have been quoted around £1k to "insure" it for a year, not for me sadly.

ok, so i am thinking i am on my way into this club, on heavy acceleration i can feel it pull to the left and slightly wheel spin but it picks up and goes ok still, at high speed its feeling a bit unsettled on the road however upon checking

 

drviers side front tyre 39psi, passengers side 44psi i sorted them to 38 psi each but havent driven it hard since then, i did launch it and it launched fine the first time second time it bogged down big time in 2nd, thought?

 

can anyone advise me of the part number for the haldex pump? ebay has a few but not listed for the RS3 only the s3?

Stevo cheapest I saw on eBay was @ £165

[stevo_123uk]

cheers guys i am going to plug it in tonight but thinking this is the same issue, guessing part number 5 on the above diagram is the pump?

[Duke3D]

Yup. Part number looks like the ones on eBay.

[stevo_123uk]

cheers guys will be next on the list just had new brakes all round lol!

[Gussman]

Anyone know what Audi charge to supply/fit a new pump, roughly??

[stevo_123uk]

where abouts are you from mate? 

[Gussman]

Just outside Edinburgh mate. Edinburgh Audi would be my local.....makes no difference i guess, all the Audi dealers in central belt owned by Lomond/Lookers!!

[stevo_123uk]

a for Audi in glasgow posted about the haldex mate, go onto their facebook, they are specialists and are saying they will inspect it for you before deciding if it needs a new pump or just serviced. I will be getting mine into them soon they dont seem dear at all...

Stevo, Gussman, Andy at A4Audi is the man. Don't bother with the dealers.

[Gussman]

I've just flicked through their FB page and looks good. Was looking at changing the Haldex filter regardless, their FB post indicates this was done for £140 +VAT (so £168). Checking prices for the filter itself and new Haldex fluid (I'm assuming they would drain all the old stuff and refill  with new stuff) then that's actually a very decent price.

 

I'm going to call them tomorrow. My pump is showing intermittent fault so maybe it's just the filter clogged.....here's hoping!

[stevo_123uk]

brilliant, ill be using them soon to check mine as well always good to hear recomendations on them as well

[JayRS3]

gave the motor a scan tonight as the traction light seems to be coming on regularly round corners pulling away. As suspected 4WD fault and intermittent open circuit fault, I've had this few times in the past and reset and even Audi didn't see it when they scanned it (even when I left the code present once). So I've reset it again to see how long she lasts for now. I'm waiting till the warranty renewal is due (Nov) so I can remove the excess and get it straight in as at the moment it's £250 for anything so not long to wait.

At what stage does this go into fault continuously? Just open circuit (no intermittent)
