Ive read the other thread and am hoping it's a warranty issue but it still a pain!

Is it my imagination or are these small clips $78 !!!! or are they $0.78?



I don't believe in global warming, sorry.
How are speed bumps legal?
I dislike lorry drivers who block lanes in traffic.

If this didn't rattle the DV valve whoosh at 2000-3000 RPM wouldn't have a friend to chatter to  :grin:

Just need it to rattle again at the 5000 RPM flatspot and your a winner  :lipsrsealed:

I got mine fitted on monday! It's much better than it was but not 100% which is a shame. I'd get on to them Snoopy!

Be most interested. Is his a spanking new car? Hope he is trying to run it in a bit.
Will's lucky to get de-buzzed by you. Imagine trying to get VW to fix it. They'll say it's standard.
Maybe I have a buzz under hard acceleration, but the loud opera music drowns everything. But I have turned the music down to check for rattles of which I have zilch so far.

So much so for their PDI. Hope they pay for the part at least as I am sure they won't for your time and effort.

Yeah, an organisation is only as good as its weakest link. I'd get the first service done somewhere else. Disappointing, annoying and not acceptable. Have you told Lee?

When we owned an A4, the garage forgot to replace the various fluids in the car which included the oil. Lo and behold, when we switched it on, the dash board lit up like a Christmas tree with lots of flashing lights! That car was a pig, as it needed a new engine, gearbox and wiring loom after a year. It then ran beautifully for 2 months until a lorry wrote it off whilst it was parked on a quiet London street! We were so happy at it's demise.

It was replaced with a Rubino Red fully loaded Alfa 159 Q4 lusso Auto which was faultless over 3 years and 36k miles.

We now own a Pericles Green Merc 350 CDI Sport and it is perfect and trouble free. Amazing quality.

Sorry about the essay, but I have nothing better to do whilst recovering. So I thought I'd bore the lot of you and spread a bit of suffering! :grin:
