Beware: Rant about Audi Service. Arg
Ok so i have a problem. My battery went out. No light of warning or anything. I jumped it. It died again after sitting for 3 hours. I went to Sears. I bought a new Red-top optima. I drove it over the weekend.
Jumped in my car to go to work this morning. Mostly Dead. Wouldnt start.
Had to get a friend to drive me to work.
I work on a strict schedule. Military.
For those who dont remember previous rant... I got stationed out here in Rapid city and found out even though im CPO (certified) the closest dealership is 5 hours away.
I think its a drain or an alternator.
My Quandry:
Audi is not convinced its a warranty item till they see it. For them to see it, means towing it there. Which means if it is or isnt, i have to find a way to get it back. They say they "might" be able to pay for the tow back if its a warranty item. If its not, or they dont want to, it will cost me 785 dollars to tow it back.
-Rock and a hard place-.
Dont know this car well enough yet. Didnt have time to learn it in Texas.
So im stuck, with a non working car. a 32 hour week ahead of me. And no ride. And not enough knowledge to fix it.

Yeah, theyll pick it up, but then ittle get fixed 5 hours away. This is my 4th warranty item...>.
that has broken, and ive only had the car for 4 months. I love it. And it puts a smile on my face every time i drive it, but i feel like i got in over my head buying acar without any german mechanical experience.

Is that you're closest Audi dealer? I had a similar problem where I wanted......
it towed to the dealer I bought it from. I ended up having to pay extra, about $100.00 for the towing, but then they gave me a loaner and fixed it the same day.
