Audi A7 tow bar issues
This story happened on: 23/07/2012
I have just taken delivery of a brand new A7 sportback. After discovering Audi wanted £2500 for an Audi tow bar I decided to go to Indespension and get them to fit it at a far reduced cost. I have used then a number of times and trust them. The bar they have quoted is a Witter with a 13 pin socket. They told me that I may need to take it back to Audi to get the rear park sensor programmed and some other stuff... I have now talked directly to my Audi dealer who have now informed me that the re-programming will take 3 1/2 hours at a cost of £395. I am furious and am now going to take my pride and joy to an Audi specialist rather than a dealer.... This to me must be getting close to Audi breaking competition laws and abuse of their dominant position..... Reading various forums this seems to be a common problem with Audi. Perhaps some pressure needs to be applied....
