Took my 2004 A2 (35,000 miler) to Audi dealer today for a 'free' MOT and guess what?? It failed...both front anti roll bar mounts shown as cracked and three of the 17'' alloys were found to have distorted inside rims.
Dealer is asking for £332 to replace the ARB and re align the wheels but the worst bit was that to replace the alloys would cost me nearly £400 per wheel.
Needless to say I brought the car away and having PM'd Skipton for his advice will be looking for an independent garage in North West Cheshire area to do the ARB ( Arthritis and useless mechanical skills prevents me crawling under the car to do the job myself).......I am hoping my local alloy repair centre can sort the wheels otherwise I will be looking for a set of 15'' steels......Oh for the days of my Ford Popular!!!!!!!
