There was actually a lot more to that story.Originally Posted by Ronin
I was googling for some scenarios and came across this thread on another forum.. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum....cfm?t=1857341
in short, guy takes his audi for service, dealer says the sump plug has been cross-threaded. All pervious services had been done at audi dealerships. Still audi washed their hands off the issue. Guy takes it to the courts but the courts says audi not at fault.
So if dealerships can get away from their own crap , then I got no chance of getting any warranty claim cos I used non nissan seat covers...
The owner couldn't say, with 100% certainty, where the car had been serviced as he bought it second hand, nor could he say when the sump plug was stripped as he'd never had reason to inspect it and there were no tell-tale signs, like leaks.
Audi could have handled the situation a bit better but apparently the guy went in with all guns blazing and started the Whirlpool thread before there was any chance of an amicable outcome.
I followed the story at the time as I had an Audi before the Patrol and I used the dealership involved in the saga for services on my car.
