Hi guys, has anyone else had this bizarre experience?
I bought a brand new 2013 "63" reg Q5 2.0 TFSI S-Line Plus from the main Audi dealer in Sheffield. It had its first and second service by the same dealer so as to not invalidate the warranty.
It then had its first and second MOT done by an independent Audi specialist in Sheffield.
So it has only been in a garage 4 times in its life at 2 different places. As it has only done 15,000 in nearly 5 years it has not even had a service since the second service by the main agents.
Recently I went to Leicester and an array of warning lights came on, so I took it to the Audi specialist for investigation. After changing a front wheel sensor, which did not fix the problem, they now tell me that some of the wiring harness to the front wheels has been taped up (?).
This is bizarre as my car has only ever been to the Audi dealer for the two warranty services and the independent Audi specialist for two MOTs.
Any ideas who or why anyone would tamper with the wiring or if anyone else has had the same problem? I now face a bill for two front wheel wiring harnesses and investigation.
Needless to say, I am not impressed.
