Just looking for a bit of advice really, Bought an Audi A2 from my local ford dealers for the girlfriend about a month ago. Since then the engine warning light thing has been on 3 times and back to said dealers. She has only drove it for roughly ten days, I know its under warranty and that its just getting a right pain the arse taking it back.

Where do I stand with it? I dont want it to be a problem car for her as I work away. Am I within my rights to tell them to keep the damn thing?

Any advice would be great,

Cheers

Not now a month has passed. A few days maybe but 4 weeks is pushing it.

Get them to sort out the problem by booking it in in advance and request a courtesy car until its resolved.

Goods have to be fit for purpose and the time to reject isn't fixed by law - it just has to be reasonable.

You have to give the vendor fair opportunity to resolve the problem, and three attempts souds fair to me. If they try and fail a fourth time you have a good reason to reject and your local CAB or Trading Standards should back you up.

Next time you book it in, you should probably give them a letter saying that if the repair doesn't work this time you will reject the car and require a refund.
