    I have my car back now, not far off 5 weeks in which Audi UK still won't admit fault. Dundee Audi have replaced the piston rings, conrods etc and essentially rebuilt the engine. Since receiving it back I have noticed an improvement in performence and MPG. I asked for a break down of work done and haven't had it yet although they were happy to verbally conform work done, Dundee Audi advised that an invoice with a break down would be given to John Clark. Oil consumption seems to have stabilised which is a massive weight off the shoulders. I have done around 400 miles with minimal oil consumption. Car was returned with a quarter of a tank used and zero valet but obviously on the grand scale of things didn't really care, felt like we had peeved off all parties concerned and maybe we had....Althought Audi paid for all parts and most labour our car was returned to us in a state. My wife hoovered the courtesy car and made sure it was spotless whilst our car was returned to us in a bit of a mess which was disappointing.

    All said though, glad Audi sorted my car and I'm thankful for that.

    All repairs aside, I think largely I had an easy time of it. Audi Uk were not easy to deal with. How do BMW and Mercedes compare? This was my first car and more or less my dream car, Audi uk have kind of put me off a little. Are BMW or Merc better to deal with? I was a little naive to all of this and would thing twice about getting an Audi now. Are BM's more reliable?

    I bought my car from Audi with a full service history, but still had to kick off big time in order to get the price right down. I think it depends on your dealer.

    The garage gave me a full breakdown of the repair if you want to know what's been done.

    You may find it will lose oil within the first 1000-2000 miles, then the engine should settle in. I've driven about 4000 miles so far and I've just topped it up for a second time. I've noticed a massive difference.

    I'm currently considering a Merc and spent quite a bit of time on one of their forums. There's a post on there slating customer service, but that's only based on a couple of people's opinions.

    Incidentally, I thought the customer service rep for AUK was absolutely useless!

    Well I'm very pleased to note that my new 2.0TFSI has not apparently burned any oil at all in it's first 700 miles, so hopefully that will continue.

    yeah mate, that would be helpful and appreciated. I'm not sure what the reluctance is about. It's not budged for a while. About 400 miles in and just a little oil used, big improvement already.

    Hi all,

    done around 450 miles since the repair and the oil is still holding on. I am still getting regular whiffs of something nasty. Seems to be in Gear 1 and 2 in particular, have any of you experienced the same issue? Wondering how long I leave it until I raise it with the garage. To my mind, its become less frequent but would have thought it would have ended now that I have done 450 miles, and its odd to me that it seems to only be in gears 1 and 2... It wasnt something that was happening prior to repair.

    Cheers

    Paul

    Update... car failed the consumption test after 420 miles. Quoted £4200 for the repair bill which is pistons, rings and con rods being replaced. After numerous calls round I think I've got it sorted for the price of a service as this makes me a loyal customer :-) cars booked in in a couple of weeks time so let's see how it goes...
