Does make you wonder what on earth they did and why it went wrong after a couple of weeks?  |
And now it's gone wrong again, on a Sunday morning. My son is livid!
Basically he was doing a 3-point turn and it froze (lost assistance) while on full lock. Managed to get back home and onto his drive.
I've talked him through checking the reservoir - seems to actually be above max! He says there's a lot of fluid around it, so maybe they overfilled it?
I've also suggested he tries the lock-to-lock process a few times, probably while moving slowly as he has no assistance at present, to see if that changes anything.
He's now going to have a rant at Chingford Audi, who are allegedly there (probably only in sales though) to 4pm today.
