So yesterday I went to do an oil change (no this is not a "what type of oil should I use" post). I rushed home from work to try to get it done in the light as I don't have any power in my so called apartment "garage". I get all ready, jack the car up, and realize you have to take the *#(*&@ engine guard off to get a the plug. Oh well. I pull it all apart and start draining the oil- all is good.

I look up while under the car and find a full 6" sanding disk wedged in the engine bay. Well, that confirms it. After I bought the car I noticed one spot on the rear quarter where the paint was dull. I've also noticed that the bumper seems to be a slightly different shade of red. So not only did Audi not tell me that they repainted parts of my car, but they did a shitty job and put the OK stamp on it (its certified/inspected- by Audi not just the dealer)

When putting it all back together I realized that there were about 5 metal/platic "screws" to hold the plastic undertray that whoever was in there last (the dealer) didn't put back in. And further, the two plastic screws holding the front wheel, front-end small mudflap in won't even fit if I had the screws! Someones been in it...

I guess it doesn't really matter that much, but it bothers me that they didn't tell me it had been re-painted.

Now it will be interesting to match my lowers to the panels when I paint them...

You need to vent to your dealership and get them to ******* fix the problems that is hardcore BS.

 

give it back!!!! That would make me [:@]

 

Yea, that really sucks, for how much they charge for all their stuff, and how much hype they put behind their certifications and inspections, you would think they could atleast do it RIGHT. Hopefully you try to get them to do something about it.

I would be one irate ************.

 

Damn thats *** up... did you take any pics? YOu sure the car wasn't in an accident. I would take that thing and drive it thru thier front door.

 

man the dealer broke one of my plastic engine covers IN FRONT OF ME and said it was broken alrdy ..... i called bullshit on that bitch and got a free one new but man i have had some bad experiences at dealerships avoid them at all cost ..... STEALERSHIP should be pegged in there lawns...

 

Sorry to hear that about your car. I figured since you and me had the same car, I'd post a pic of mine from today. It was a "nice" day in Alaska. By "nice", I mean not raining or snowing.

 

Man id be pissed and if they told me somthing that wasnt true id be back there in an instant

 

I'm going to try to go there today- but what am I going to ask for? Yeah the missing screws, but its not like they will repaint my car- which is really the only way to solve that problem. Oh yeah, when I had my cd changer replaced they said they would send me my cd's which were in it... months later I'm still waiting on that to happen.

Ha, maybe I'll get a 06 s4 for free
