Hello. I have a 58 plate Audi A3 1.8 automatic. It's making a grinding noise as I'm driving. Audi have taken a sample of the gearbox oil and found metal shavings in it. Their solution is a £4000 odd gearbox change.

The car has been very well driven and has only done 24,000 miles.

It's not under any warranty.

Any advice - surely this can't be right....

Also, in July 2014 there was a recall to have the gearbox oil changed. I wonder if that has anything to do with this problem I'm having.

I'd definitely take this issue up with Audi Customer Service:
Contact Us (http://www.audi.co.uk/content/audi/about-audi/contact-us.html)
I think you have a case there under the sale of goods act that the car is not of satisfactory quality (taking into account its age and mileage).
