Absolutely gutted

<p>A bad experience will forever leave a really sour taste in your mouth, but repeated bad experiences make one hate a brand completely.</p> <p>I purchased a pre-owned Audi A4 about one and a half years ago and its been to Audi at least 8 to 10 times with faults and problems. I bought the vehicle with a year and 4 months left on the maintenance plan and only sent the vehicle to Audi dealerships for these problems. The vehicle was last at Audi in December last year (3 months ago). When I bought the car I spent R2000 for Audi to test the vehicle to make sure all was in order???? Guess that was a complete farce. I am now 3 months out of plan and have just been told that the vehicle will cost me +-R27000 just to be able to get it to a point so that a compression test can be done. God only knows what else they will find and what it will cost?? What I am trying to figure out is if there was such a major issue, surely it should have been picked up. Anyway my advise to anyone who reads this is to steer clear of Audi. They are only made to last until your plan is over. Five years max life span and then thats it. You sit with a R250000 space waster that will cost tens of thousands to just start never mind drive. I can only now warn people to steer clear.....</p>
