Hi,
I bought an Audi A4 2008 TFSI petrol last summer and started having problems with it. Went to a garage nearby in SW London and the mechanic told me that it has a broken valve inside the engine and the repair will easily cost over £1000 because it's a big job. The oil pressure light was coming up on the dashboard while I was driving so after a couple of checks and repairs he finally found out that the engine misfires and the broken valve is the cause. If I drive the car for more than 20-30 min the oil pressure and engine lights will come up again. I was told I shouldn't drive it like this because the car might stop at any time. ... Read more

Could anybody please tell me if a Seat Leon extended warranty would typically cover problems with a clutch master cylinder ?

The last thing I need at the moment is a large unexpected bill - so perhaps it wont be as bad as I think....

We've been over all these issues time and time again and quite recently in recent EV threads. I really can't see there's anything further to add and given the likely direction this thread will take I'm putting it to bed early.
Does anyone know if it's possible to find out if a company has been reported to trading standards already? Specifically thinking of a company called

Last week my trusted independent replaced my (83000 mile) original front discs, I also asked for new wheel bearings.
All was fine for a couple of days then I noticed an odd noise when braking from 20 mph or less, frequency depending on speed, sounds like some non-metallic item is catching as the right front wheel rotates. Only occurs when braking, no vibration or pulsing pedal, brakes work smoothly.... Read more
edit, irrelevant
I wish I could agree with you but it isn`t the case, many a time I had to change a set of pads due to a problem with a new set of pads causing a noise that the others were not making, and even though everything had been done properly everyone disagreed with what I reckoned....

A PCV valve would be £200-£300 but is easy enough to check at home (after watching a YouTube video). You just detach a little pipe and give it a shake. I doubt that's it, though. After reading a few other comments, it does seem that your problem is coming from the oil.getting thinner as it heats up. That suggests it's not an inlet valve your garage was talking about. I would take it to VW / Audi specialist (not a main dealer) for a second opinion before spending any more.
