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?
 
parts and labour are definately expensive but the service has been top notch. they actually called back exactly when they said they would. better than any other dealer ive ever experienced.
 
ok well......the dealer has offered to either give us our money back or to pay for the car to be fixed.

now other than these faults we love the car to bits and its in great condition.

should we bite his hand off for the refund thinking these faults are the sign of having bought a pup? then go looking for another car that we wont know if we will have trouble with.

Or should we get it repaired leaving us with a car we know has certain things that have recently been replaired?

what is the more sensible option?
