Car was fixed and now broken again...
This time the fault is of a different nature.
Cars been running so well since the fuel system was replaced and I had to perform an emergency stop to avoid hitting a child in the road. Immediately afterwards, a warning light came on with the message of 'Gearbox Malfunction' and then went away again.
Anyway, it popped on now and again over the last week or so until a few days ago where it happened 4 times in a row, which is fine except that the gearbox (an s tronic double clutch thing) goes into lockdown and allows no power at all. This is dangerous when trying to pull out of junctions etc etc - which is when the warning seems to prefer to show itself.
Went into Audi and they said its safe to drive and probably wiring issue, come back on 1st September and we will have it apart. getting ridiculous now, the things practically un-driveable.
I bought an old audi many years ago at 141,000 miles, I sold it on 181,000 and i know its still going strong, never had an issue with it.
I have never known such a car with bad luck as mine. 2 months old and a pothole destroyed the nearside front wheel.
The shortly afterwards, i was trundling along the Pickering moors road and a crow decided to strike my headlight cover and cracked it - £600 replacement apparently but never been an issue MOT wise as it doesnt affect the beam.
So there we have it folks, my life in a nutshell - bad luck!
might make a film...
