The Irony of V.A.G

Post by northantsandy »

What a bloody frustrating day!!
The most reliable vehicle I have ever owned, Audi A6 Avant- let me down and has just cost me £230 to repair (Oil Pump) and potentially the least reliable vehicle (due to age alone) T25 Komet i will ever own is running as sweet as could be (for now). Thanks to Chinese Tony the Audi is back to its flying best.

Anybody else had a frustrating day too

Mine failed its MOT today, although it is the first time I have got to drive it on the road as I bought it as a non runner. Nothing too major sticky brake, missing bolts on a drive shaft :shock: and high emissions which I think is due to a too fast an idle. Today was my first time in a T25 and I must say it was an experience. Although my S3 is running fine

I'm having a frustrating day. Van's not starting again and I'm no closer to knowing why apart from it seems fine when its warmer weather and won't start when temp drops.
