OK.
so i've already posted a thread in relation to this:-
http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=61220
But.
My A4 has 131450 miles on the clock (mostly motorway miles)
Serviced by Audi Dealer 6450 miles ago (3months prior to an accident)
Now,
Although the bodyshop and insurers have rebuilt the body of the car, there is still a noise onthe rear drive line of the car.
the Non Approved Audi repairers have replaced rear wheel bearings to see if the noise reduces, but it has not got rid of it competely.
I have the issue where -
the repairers have said the diff is worn out - it's got 130,000 miles on it!
I am contending this, because there was no noise on the car prior to the accident.
The repairers have taken the car to my local Audi dealership for a..........
Test drive.
The Engineer has said - Yes there is a noise, but we need more time to investigate the noise.
Does anyone understand Insurance Law?
Can i keep rejecting the car?
The insurance inspector has said "we will leave the claim open for you to get an inspection done at your cost, and if the inspection proves the accident was the cause we will pay for the damage"
Why should i prove this?
I have witnesses (managent team at work) who have been in my car on the day prior to the accident who can vouch for me that there was no noise.
one added extra is.. I was hit by a 38ton Scania, and the driver has given written admission to the accident?
Please help - your replies are really appreciated as i will send a link to the replies to my insurance company.
is 130,000 a limit where the Quattro Diff would wear out?
