Bad luck! Hope you got it sorted at zero cost.

the worst thing was the RAC took 2 1/2 to get some one to me even though they said "someone will be with you within 30 minutes sir" ...... i was 10 miles from their control centre on the M6 ...... shocking!

the car will arrive back at the selling dealership this morning.....

once i have news i'll post it up

they seem to have found the problem......

faulty ecu causing the 5v rquired for all sensors showing too high a voltage..... a new ecu is en route from germany should arrive wednesday.....

until then......

new ecu...... didn't make a blind bit of notice..... so progress after 2 weeks now is Zero, they can't find the problem...... how long should you give them before rejecting it? i think they've had enough time now

I wouldn't blame you if you did reject it. Might be worth reading these posts on the Touareg website - lots of good info about the correct procedure to adopt for a formal rejection.

type in the single word - rejecting -

Cheers, Andy

thanks for the info, been down this road efor 3 years earlier when we bought 2 x A6 s on had a problem on delivery so we rejected it and after a few threats they gave in and ordered a new one....

Monday is D day i'll prepare the letter over the week end and fire it off on monday. saddens me really as the battle i'm going to have will be ugly, as Audi CS are nowhere near as helpfull as they were 3 years ago. Here's hoping....

It's going to take alot to restore my faith in the brand.... reason i went for the Q7 is because of the problems everyone seems to experience with Range Rovers.....

they've given up on trying to fix it....... they've agreed to order a replacement..... now the wait.....

**golftouran** · 12-10-2010,06:12 PM

new car ordered today..... with a few more extras than the last one as a bit of compensation for my trouble, roll on delivery day, at the moment i'm diving v6 TDI SE from the garage until ity arrives
