Talking £22,000 W12 engine Mmmmmm

well being smug as i am about this i thought i would share some thing with you all,

while at unit 20 yesterday they keen eyed martin commented on how shiny and new my engine looks and then it was discovered that there was a build sticker dated on the engine november 2011

so i made a few calls to Audi and low and behold its had a new engine on the 30th of november 2011

at a cost of £22,000 it was under audi's extended warrenty program so they changed it, 23 hours labour alone before even counting the cost of the engine,

all the little clues were there
air con did not work ?
cruse control was coded out ?
diff oil was leaking ?
power steering fluid was leaking ?

so basicly the incompident audi dealers could not be bothered to replace the seals on the diff when the engine was changed and also the 2 copper crush washers on the power steering, and with the new engine in they did not re-gas the air con and also did not re code the cruse control
but now all that is done its silky smooth and just about run in i would think

i got told it had a service prior to me buying the car >>> it did not, in fact it was all so clean and fluids were good because of the fact the engine is less than 4 months old !!!

not sure if thats a good thing or not but wow £22.000 for a new engine

guess i had a bargain really

Just thought i would be smug and let every one know
