Take your private number plate off and trade it in to a wee independent trader. Don't mention any of the issues. I've punted quite a few lemons into the trade works everytime. Only once did I get a phone call back.

I had a dealer phone me a couple of days after I P/Ex'd in a car once. Told me the car I traded in had a slipping clutch. Not too sure what he expected me to do. Maybe I should have asked if he would like me to pay to have his car repaired? Then again...

Nice. Hope you are trolling. I'm not a trader nor in the trade but why would you screw a bloke trying to make a living?

Without getting into the ins and outs of this remapped gearbox thread, I'd argue that if Hamilton Audi covered up your dirty protest it's only fair play that you should be at liberty to cover up every priced Audi on their site?

Why the fk should the OP be at liberty to do anything to their cars?

He's dumped his car on their site. If he doesn't like them covering up something potentially libellous that he's written about them on it, he should tow it back to wherever it came from.

Man buys car
Man remaps car
Gearbox on said car died
Car was already a whole year out of warranty and clearly modified, Audi refuse any good will
Man gets his knickers in a twist because he is obviously the victim here

Hey understanding across the 2 threads was that the car was bought already remapped.

Therefore

Man buys overpriced, German triumph of marketing over realiity.

It goes vorsprung durch fuktup

Goes in to be investigated and diagnosed

Goodwill sought following said diagnosis

Goodwill rejected as car has been modified. But not by current owner

Am I correct?

[Dolf Stoppard]

So we now have two threads which contain pretty much the same arguments. Brilliant.

Apparently it went wrong just after having the gearbox oil changed by above dealer.
