No real modifications or remap and has full services history with regular services and all car fluids were Aretha correct level. I contacted audi at the end of November and they never got back to me.
Keep on at them. Premium car, within a premium brand at low milage etc etc, you'd think they would look kindly on the situation.

I've not read the whole thread, so sorry if it's been covered, but, have you checked the engine number tally's with the supposed correct one? Is that engine really low mileage?

Sounds strange for a low mileage engine to produce such a variety of major issues.

Hope you get sorted!frown

Is the service history with an Audi dealer? I ask because I had an Audi A3 3.2 which I had bought new and had serviced by an Audi dealer.

At around 5 years old the timing chain tensioner failed, car was out of warranty and Audi originally wanted over £1600 to repair but, after some discussion and due to the history, goodwilled most of it. I ended up paying £400 which included the service that I had already scheduled and was going to cost £300+ anyway.

Even if you're not the original purchaser, if it has Audi history then they might offer something?
