• Audi RS4 - Faulty RS4 out of 9 months in the garage for 4 31 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  I have literally no confidence in these people and it worries me that had I not been on the ball, the gearbox failure could have locked the wheels and put me through the crash barrier upside down! I spoke with Audi Finance and because the supplying dealer (Hull Audi) dont think its grounds for a refund, only an exchange (no details on the terms!) was offered. Bearing in mind, Hull Audi have not been involved in the issues since March, they dont know the full range of problems I'm still having.

• Audi S3 - Quality of HJ Q&A 27 May 2016 (Forum)
  Many thanks, Andrew   and the answer: No, won't have caused damage. But this is the second time I have heard of an Audi dealer putting a car out on storage tyre pressures. This is actually very common but proves that the pre-delivery inspection was not carried out correctly so you should seek some acknowledgement of that from the Audi dealer.
