    The last two months I've had this feeling Audi would miss something off the build and I'd have to reject the car.

    Would it be B&O? Perhaps the Lighting Pack? Perhaps SatNav?

    Well the tail pipes weren't chrome like the brochure says but they said they'd talk to Audi. They have missed the front and rear parking sensors also. "Don't worry" they said "they can be retro fitted at the Audi centre."

    Sort of ok .... ish.

    Errrm how the **** are they gonna retro fit quattro??!?!?

    Drove home. Coming out of one round about I thought that felt like a wheel spun.... nah!! It's can't be and that was it.

    I got home and noticed no quattro badge on the glove box....and then it was missing on the grill....and on the tailgate.

    Under the car I go and I find this :



    The round black thing is the centre of the wheel.....where I was expecting to see a drive shaft.

    Just to convince myself of what I already new, I went to a near by junction and booted it whilst the wheels were at an angle. Massive tramping from the front wheels.

    I've SMS'ed the salesman and he agrees I have to reject it. The paperwork is all correct so it doesn't seem like a dealer issue...apart from they didn't spot it. Admittedly the car did only arrive at theirs today.

    So what to do now?

    Get my S4 back? Use this car until a replacement turns up?

    If it's another 8-10 weeks then the MMI 3G Sat Nav will be out or at least imminent so I reckon I'll be insisting on that.

    I'm not particularly happy right now.


    p.s. I'm more convinced that ever that quattro the correct choice for me.

    ooh. That hurts.

    They can retro fit the parking sensors...but the retro's stick out a little bit from the bumper on the rear where as the factory fitted ones sit in the bumper. Also the beep is harsher!

    Still cant believe they missed Quattro...

    Sorry to hear of your woes.
    But what a timely post. Thanks Scotty.

    I am due to pick up my B8 1.8T Manual (Sports Suspension, B&O, Sports steering wheel, Xenon, Sunroof) today and this makes me want to go over the car with a fine toothcomb before accepting it.

    I get the feeling something will be missed as well, but I hope I am wrong.
