yes , dont think oscar was pleased, but he did what he was meant to. not that he had much of a case to dispute it, after only 24 hours of ownershipit would be coming back to him for a full refund. originally they said it was 870 for the pump, probably plus vat so its a grand for that part before you start. plus the work includes dropping the engine so its not something i could do or would attempt so your paying 7 hours labor charges

Crumbs..... Just been catching up after my week away...

Bad news about the planned holiday, but I can understand the relief now of not having to rush around and juggle things. Good to see Oscar seems to be doing his bit.

Obviously it would have been great had it not failed in the first place, but better to fail now, that whilst on hols for sure.

So a couple of positive there, and the new pump will be covered under a full 2 year Audi warranty so if it should fail again, its covered +++

Hopefully it will be trouble free once you get a pump installed and back to you.

I certainly hope its going to go well after this

Latest News - Pump on back order Will arrive on the 28th - At the factory in Germany.

I guess im not going to see the car until the 2nd or 3rd at least.

just read the entire thread mate
shocking treatment from both dealer and audi

which engine was this on ?

4.2 or 3.0 ?

To be honest this is mostly Audi

Cant believe that these pumps ate so good even the factory doesn't have a spare

Its the 4.2

What mileage is the car limon ? Is there any known issues with these pumps , have Audi seen failures of the pumps before on the d4 ?

95k. According to local Audi so few problems they had to buy a tool specially for me. They hadn't needed one before

Or that may be just more bull

The pump arrived from the factory on friday, not in time to get it completed before the bank holiday of course.

Rang this morning, they have it fitted, But, they cant code it to the car

guess what, i need a firmware update on the convienience module which of course they can do

AFTER Audi send them the software for my vehicle, ie Audi have to create the software encoded to my car with mileage etc coded in.

they have 48 hours to do this but was thrilled to learn they often do it quicker
(sarcasm becoming more prevalant as this 3 week , so far saga continues)

i will note the version number changed to and from after i get the car back so anyone in the future will be able to tell them in advance that it needs to be done.

I was wondering how you were getting on this morning. I had sort of hoped that the lack of posts had meant all was good / going well.

What a carry on.....

i was hoping so too, been looking forward to tuesday all weekend
