View Full Version : ARGHHH! broken down :(
Went out to my nephews birthday party, I got 2 miles from the house and BEEEEP oil pressure warning light, then the AA now it's at audi needing a f*****g oil pump.
So the game is guess the cost? It also needs a service, timing belt, aircon fixed and whatever else they decide is wrong with it lol
my guess is £1400

im not going to look at that link southie, i want it to be a surprise lol
matt i bet you wont be far off at a grand for labour cost.
mowgli, i should have left it where i stopped and maybe a farmer friend might have accidentally per chance out of the blue ran over it with a ruddy big tractor lol
Is it a turbo?
Recently spoke to my mate about them, Common thing to go wrong, usually due to not being serviced enough.
£2000 easy.
lol it hasnt been serviced since about 65000 its now at 89000
engine is 1.8 apy 210bhp
Ask joe richardson he works at york audi,might be able to rough guess!
I thinks £1268.00 lol

as i said its a game the closest to the price gets rep first :d
Why take it to a dealer? They are always gonna cost more.
Get your hands dirty and do it your self.
^They really arnt fun to work on tho, pay the money and it will be guaranteed too

lol at the prices, i done my mate Ibiza Cupra, timing belt kit took me all of..... 30mins. Even my big cous's A4 didnt take long and i had to remove the bumper, as you have to on A4's and passats. Dont take it to a dealer you will be bent over.
Belts dont take long no, but thats not the main money eater!

Belts dont take long no, but thats not the main money eater! Even so, the rest of it is fairly straight forward. Or am i just that good lol
i dont mind paying the price as i need the car back asap, and id take about 2 weeks to fix it lol
lol Dont take it to a dealer you will be bent over.
too late its already there:d ( no lube by god its going to hurt lol)

Is it at Audi?
My dad has an S3 quattro (225 one). He always takes his to the local Audi dealer, pays top whack prices - a basic service (oil, filters, plugs) was >£400!
I reckon you're looking at ~£1300-£1500.
[edit] scratch that, I thought it was just the belt lol Oil pump plus belt plus service plus air con, = £2k. My dad did have A/C sorted not long ago, can't remember the exact cost but it was ££££

not what you need mate £1500 is mental though id fix it myself!! even if it took slightly longer than it would take audi lol
Hope you get it sorted matey, its your car so take it where you trust.

£1600 i think
I will copy the receipt when I get it and post it up, I've had the car six years and it's not cost me to much so far.
it's not cost me to much so far.
That is, until now lol
I'm thinking about a vxr8 next year lol

4doors is for gays lol and you think its costly now, wait till you get one of these, Set of discs all round on the Monaro.....1400 sheets, cheap at half the price lol
It's cheaper than a RS4, I'd love one of those but whatever I buy will be used everyday and will be abused,
Did you stop before the pump fully died?
I'd say it will cost more than the car is worth lol
Cheers lol yeah I did stop before it gave up, my mates let had no oil pressure and it's cost him a full rebuild and a new crank, f**k paying vag rebuild prices
partly I'm devaluing the car because its VAG and partly because the bills are uber silly lol
Uber silly NEVER, it only cost me just over £900 after it's last service, hence the reason for this silly guess the price thread :)
they wouldnt rebuild the engine, they would price in a new one and replace it. probably will get told it needs an engine, they have to cover themselves, if they put a pump on and it gives up in 2 months whos going to be banging on their door?
lol
£4.5k
Turns out it was a oil pressure sensor that stopped working, but the bill is at £1000 so far and still counting lol
5 days later and a bill at a grand and still no car back!!!!
It's going to be Monday or Tuesday now :(
I hope you're raping the courtesy car!
Didn't get one as it broke down on sunday and was taken into audi by the AA :(
B4stards! I would have demanded one FOC, given how much you are gonna be paying them! Also some of those nice boiled sweets. lol

You can't even rape courtesy cars anymore, i got told if it comes back damaged, they'll take £500 of me and give me the change...but for only £5.99 per day they'll go through the insurance instead!
There is a couple of small rust spots appearing on the doors so I'm going to claim the 12 year warrantty on the paint and get it repaired, I need to get something for nothing lol
hang on, you paid 1k for a pressure sensor?
either your being mugged off,
or theyre fitting alot of other bits too.
you could get a spare apy motor for £600!!!!

lol the list goes like so, supply and fit sensor, supply and fit all drive and timing belts, full service, locate and fix oil leak, supply front discs and pads, supply 2 track rod ends,
they wanted £130 to supply and fit 1 rod end lol £82 per hour labour FTW

:eek: jesus wept
This is why if you can just afford a fancy car you also need to remeber you need to afford to get it fixed aswell, but think of this a pair of front standard discs for a RS4 audi to supply only will cost £900 yes they really do cost £450 EACH
Tell me about it - CCUK is full of people who bought GT4s thinking "wow, £3k is cheap", but then not realising when it comes to service time they're a £30k rally car lol

i bet 90% of people forget that, it what puts me off getting something fancy/rare, for that kind of money id expect a 'happy finish' from the managers wife
edit
too slow lol
Jack, I bet alot of good gt4's go to the doghouse due to poor service and maintanence, less we forget both cars are 4wd,turbo charged, and let's be honest most of us dont ponce around at 40 mph it only makes sence to look after what you've got.
At a rough calculation my car has cost me less than £500 per year over the six years I had it in service and repair costs, and has only let me down twice, both occasions it has been wanting serviced and I put it off, my own fault then.
the joys of having a mate work at audi = 46% off :d
although he found a set of RS4 calipers...front and rear....FOURTY notes!
£1945
i see your point, our lasses celica ss2 has just had disks and pads. its an import so has the same disks pads and calipers as a lexus gs300, so i got fubar'd for £200. for pattern parts. :(
Eh? GS300 brakes are the same diameter and thickness but different mounting sizes. You sure you're not thinking of MR2 SW20 brakes, the SSS versions of the SS2 and 3 used them; non-SSS versions used the same brakes as the UK GT. Except for early ones which the same brakes as the UK ST.
right folks im off to pick me S3 up at glasgow audi yaay so get your final cost guesses in
it had oil pressure sensor fault diagnosed and replaced, full engine service, timing and alt belts supplied and fitted, front discs and pads supplied only, 2 front track rod ends supplied only, 1 hours labour to find and repair oil leak ( labour cost is £82 p/hour ) washed and full interior valet, i think thats all, i'll post up the total cost when i get back in tonight,
