my parents bought an Audi A3 from an independant dealer 3 weeks ago and after a few hundred miles we have noticed a knocking from underneath the car, a faulty passenger airbag light and a engine management fault light.
after taking it to Audi yesterday they have got back to us saying it has a faulty cambelt tensioner, a faulty engine speed sensor, a cracked anti-roll bar (the source of the knocking) and a few other niggles.
This is a £1700 job to put right. the warrantee provided by the dealer covers £500 of any repairs.
has anyone been in a similar situation? should we ask the dealer to cover the costs? are these things that the dealer should have checked?
