Okay, Audi quoted me £400 to fix a leaking radiator by replacing it. I took it elsewhere, much cheaper quote in the offering.
BUT, Audi says it was a stone chip to the front of the rad, on closer inspection it looks like someone has smashed into my car and dislodged the whole assembly, the cooler, the air con the whole damn thing.
The rad has gone into the alternator and this has caused the leak, but HOW???
There is no and I mean ZERO damage to the front, side or underside to my car. no broken paintwork, no dents, no scratchs, no nothing. I am the only person to ever drive my car since delivery and the rad sprang a leak on the way to work and no one had hit me or been near me.
How could such damage be created without me being aware. The rad assemble is twisted the pipes are bent and worse of all is Audi Reading missed all of this on their inspection.
Looks like an insurance job, and there goes my 27yrs of no claims,, should have got protected..!
