Last two weeks the A3 tdi has been cutting out now n then at junctions, then the glow plug light started flashing on our way to skegness last saturday, so il pulled over, turned engine off. Tried to start it, it sounded like a tractor

Tried again fired up as normal, off we went, no toruble. Tuesday Lindsay rings, the glow plug light is on again and another one

So next day she rings Audi, who decide to send someone out as it may not be safe for Lindsay to drive - fair enough

Bloke puts it on tester and says 'ah, have you changed the left brake bulb recently?' Lindsay says well my husband did yes. Bloke said thats your problem, its still registering a fault with the brake light, which registers a fault with the braking system and reduces power etc...So she says so what do we have to do when a bulb goes? Get us out or take it to Audi he says

Sorry, but thats just a joke! Glad im going back to the blue oval on 2nd sept

Or are all new cars like this now?
