RESULT!!!!!!....

I went to Audi Docklands today. Was greeted by the Head of Business, who introduced me to the Master Tech. What can I say, the service was outstanding!!! The Master Tech went with me for a drive ( I drove) and although the knocking noise wasn't as pronounced (as usual when you want to replicate a fault on a test drive, the fault never appears!!!)

But after a few minutes going over the speed bump, the guy knew that something didn't sound "right". We went back to the dealership and car went straight in the workshop.

What was causing the knocking noise, a stone in the suspension!!!.... Didn't really understand where exactly it was....but hey, its all sorted now!!!....Going over speed bumps at faster speed and no noise!!!....

Little things that made this a good experience:

Greeted warmly! ( Although, they knew that I didn't buy the TT from them, I was only here because I had an issue with the car and wasn't even sure if warranty would cover...) Coffee and tea offered etc

Very patient and knowledgeable tech. The Master Tech actually was very open and understanding. Sometimes on these kind of "fault seaching" test drives, you do feel like you're being treated like a liar or the "fault" is in your mind. But NOT on this one!!! The Master Tech was patient and asked lots of questions. ( Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for Audi Victoria, where the tech actually drove the car for longer and did not find anything wrong!!! and had the cheek to say that "its a sports car and I need to get used to it" ?!! WTF ...Muppet!!!)

Finally, the Head of Business came to tell me about the outcome and that the car is waiting for me outside.

THANK YOU AUDI DOCKLANDS.

Nice one Kev!

I had a noise on braking (motorway speeds) on my TT and, thankfully, when I took the engineer from Edinburgh Audi out (me driving) he could hear it pretty quickly....new brake discs all round...jobs a good'un.

Also had great service....considerate, respectful and keen to sort it. We are keen to show bad service so only right to highlight good service too.

Its all good mate. I have been here nearly half my life now (between uni and work) and my wife and kids are all Scottish!). People pretty similar to those back in Ireland tbh. And, I spend half my life in London with work... best of all worlds

I'm confused Kev, you not got the Beemer anymore, did I miss something or have you had a TT for so long it's never mentioned .

Good news that the dealer sorted things .

[zltm089]

and the TT (which I give to my brother to drive on an occassional basis) ... ;-)
