Just my luck....

[Norretal]

I put my A8 in last Friday to have the Brembo's fitted that I bought at the open day and thought it was relatively straightforward, hoping to get it back relatively quickly. That very rarely happens though, well, not to me anyway.

Firstly TPS let him down with the replacement calliper bolts, so it was there all weekend. Then yesterday he rings at 16:00 having hit a problem with the wiring of the ABS sensor, namely that it's not as expected. A phone call to Dave at Prestige doesn't solve it as he's using the same information source as my garage. So, he's now seeking advice elsewhere to resolve it as he suggests wiring it incorrectly will fry the ECU?? He suggested my car may have been fitted with aftermarket sensors but I find that hard to believe, I've owned it for the majority of its life and the most I've done is replace discs and pads. Does anyone know if the PF's ever had a recall with any issues in the brakes area?

So, my straightforward job isn't as it seemed and I'm still without my car. There's no turning back now either as its almost all assembled, new arms, ball joints, the works.........so close yet so far
