I'm ready to strangle someone

Lets see...I bought my TT last Saturday, drove it sunday, brought it to the dealer to get aircared on Monday (emission tested)...it fails. Takes a day for them to look at it and determine it's the oxygen sensor so they send it over to the audi dealership for warranty work. Takes another day to get the sensor and to install it....turns out it's not the sensor and now they are replacing the catalytic converter. They are going to get it in tomorrow. (got this info from calling the audi dealership) The Lexus dealership still hasn't called me to tell me I won't be getting my car till tomorrow even thought the audi dealership called them 3 hours ago to let them know. I am going to wait to see how long it takes for them to call me. So out of owning this car for 6 days I have only drove it one day.

Any comments on getting a new catalytic converter?

Tomorrow is a big night out for my girlfriend and I and I'm not even sure I will be able to get my car in time. I'm really ready to strangle someone.


(did I also mention that they gave me a Lexus IS300 with absolutely no gas in it as a loaner). And all the guy at the lexus dealership can go on about is how great it is that I get to ride around in his crappy lexus. I want my TT!!!!

IS = IS300, the Lexus loaner you are driving.

Default Understand your frustation, but to be perfectly honest, why should dealer buy your gasoline?

Sorry about the problems. Hope they get fixed soon.
