Well fork 1 and fork 4 permanent fault. Hoping it can somehow be reset and just needs fluid. I’ll throw it into the block I guess if I can get it going.

Lovely punters, at least you shouldn’t hear back from them regarding any warranty issues. If you don’t entertain a repair keep it for a few weeks & any complaints just bounce it back into them. On a more light hearted note perhaps ahanhyper can give us some useful insight into this problem? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishowie 14 Posted October 28, 2019 I try and avoid anything VAG. Over priced and always major issues..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grantlfc81 88 Posted October 28, 2019 Well the customer turned up today. Drove 15 miles to drop off the locking wheel nut and bought an 18 month extended warranty on the Q7 he bought from us.... his such a lovely customer I don’t even feel he knew it had a problem, or it even had a problem when I turned up. when I test drove it, it was fine..... just pure bad luck on this one I think. He just seemed far too innocent and nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope it work out for you with the oil change and reset . 1 hour ago, chrishowie said: I try and avoid anything VAG. Over priced and always major issues..... VAG stuff is good when its had a Chain Kit , guides , tensioners , oil service , New Manifold on the petrols , EGR On the diesels , turbo rebuild , DSG box sorted out .Oh new engine on the 1.4 super charged /turbo engines Long as VAG parts are fitted it just about allows you to break even as long as you pay labour and do it yourself .

Grantlfc81 88 Posted October 29, 2019 All our vag stuff is decent. Not sure what all the fuss is about. We sell bundles of it and have hardly no issues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We sell bundles of it and have hardly no issues To be fair, I have had a couple of DPF/EGR issues but other than that, VAG has done ok for me. But......I am so bored of answering the timing belt question. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
