Hi All,
Purchased a 58 plate Audi A4 Sline (143) with 48000 miles on the clock.
Last night the passenger side front fog grill fell off, went under the car and of course smashed, part 8K0 807 681 C/D. Done some googling and its bloody expensive to replace being an sline part ! Not sure if I could fit a later 2009+ model ?
Newbeee question , how does this actually get fitted ? Can I push this into place from the front of the bumper ? , or do I need to dismantle or get access to the back of the front bumper/grill and push it in from the inside out ?
On a more worrying note the dealer ( i wont name ...yet..) has really really made us think they sold us a dodgy car and are not honouring there warranty commitments.
Before purchase I spotted no rear window wiper blade, the EMS(Solid) and Glow plug(flashing) lights coming on intermittently, and the timing belt required changing ( 5 years old )
Anyway the car went in for its "service" and MOT. I called 3 days into the service to ask if they had changed the water pump, long story short they said they hadn't because nothing was wrong with it. I replied saying it was standard practise and worthwhile doing when the front of the car is open, I even offered to pay for the part but they fobbed me off and said they would have to see if they had the part in stock. When i called the following morning saying to say i had sourced a pump locally i was told the car was back together again ....
I have checked the car via HPI and it has no finance on it, or accidents recorded. However we still haven't been given the service log OR and documented evidence of the work that was done regarding the timing belt change.
Somewhat nervous ...
