It's not really something you want to say on an Audi forum that's full of Audi techs and employees. Dealers have special tools and longer warranties, and if you go to a good Audi service center, the service and pricing will be competitive if not better than the aftermarket "specialists."


A hazard relay is an easy fix. It costs the same wether you buy it from the dealer or online (shipping) and it's a lot easier to return if you get a bad one right out of the box. The hardest thing about it is to not destroy the plastic trim in front of it.

As for the rear window, you can call a glass place for an estimate. Check your insurance company for it's glass policy.
I didn't mean to offend you but the dealers charge a lot of money to fix things. If you buy a new car or something and you have a warranty that's fine, but to bring in a 10 year old car it's pointless. If I would have brought in my car to fix everything at the dealership I would be broke. And, I feel perfectly comfortable calling out the dealer on their bs hence why everyone calls it the stealership on this forum.

I did not call you scum and I respect the work you do, but the majority of your customers are not the ones who go on these forums to fix their own stuff.

If the dealers charged reasonable prices than Audi techs would have more jobs and the dealers would make more money. In addition it is not the techs who set the prices and you should not be offended.

If you had a shop put on the tint, find out if it's metallic. If so you should claim negligence and have them put on a new non-metallic tint.

When I fix my radio I'll post I think were having the same prob. My radio only works in downtown Chicago.

ha I lost my username and password so I couldn't log in forever. Well I got the 4-way flasher taken care of and that eliminated the sticking right turn signal. I did clean the hell out of the back glass and it seemed to make the signal better but it still won't pick up some stations. Now all that's left is to get rid of my ABS problem and my AIRBAG light.
