Bit pants to keep an A8 customer waiting so long really unless they have furnished you with a decent loaner. There is only a handful of things that a power steering fault could be so would have expected them to be a bit closer by now...

When do you go on hols ??

it was a recovery so they say they have 48 hours to start looking at it rather than being booked in on a day.

no loaner yet, all the cars are out, but not leaving for france until friday so still plenty of time.

spoke to Oscar, says he will cover it

Still waiting for the call from Audi

appears i have 30 days to reject it, and the fact that there is finance also on it makes it better in some way, not sure how.
