I bought an 2000 A4 1.8T FWD last week. Found a great deal, low miles, 63,500. I took the car to the dealership in Nashville, TN, (I won't name the dealership, but there is only one,) to have the vehicle checked out before I buy it. I drop the car off at 7:30am. It is the 4th car in, there are 4 techs, the service guy tells me it will be done by noon since it is a hour and a half job. I stop in on my lunch break at 12:30, the car is not ready, he calls me at 3:30 to tell me its done. I pick up the car at 5 and they tell me that it needs rear brakes, the tires are cupping, and the front O2 sensor will need maintainence soon. This is GREAT news. I get the check from my bank and buy the car.
Fast forward 3 days. I go to the roof of my condo where I park my car in my parking spot. I notice oil droplets! The dealership missed the oil leak. I go downstairs to my other spot, where I parked the car before I brought it to get it checked out. There are droplets there too!
So I called Audi this morning. Told him he missed the leak, which in my mind, would've been a deal breaker. The service manager told me that the leak could have happened after the inspection, I told him I couldn't trust him working on my car. He told me to take it somewhere else. I was appalled. These people just don't care.
Does anyone know a good Audi mechanic in Middle TN?
Also, I need to replace the turn signal bulb in my headlight housing, can I get to it without pulling the bumper? I'm not sure if I have the 3 or 4 screws. Where can I buy a T30 that is small enough and long enough to fit in that hole?
I love my new car. I just want to fix her oil leak.

 

i use a flat head for those headlight torx bolts. just get one with the right size head and it will work.

sorry about the car lets see some pics. how much did it cost you?

 

check around the regional forums for a mechanic, glad you are happy with the new car

 

I got the car for $7800. I think it was a pretty good deal.
Here are a couple of pics. I have a few plans for it, chip, bigger wheels, tint, upgrade DPV valve. Dunno what else as of yet though.
