Finally got my car out of the snow yesterday... took it in to audi and at first they didnt want to give me a loaner due to the weather and told me its a big liability for them?? What liablitity, i have insurance, lol...
Anyway, they ended up giving me a loaner after waiting about 1.5 hours and told me its probably my thermostat. Im just happy i got a q5 as a loaner because NY is sunk with snow. The city isnt doing anything about it and most neighbors are throwing in money to have random people clean the streets. Dont know what it is but my feeling is the sanitation department is on strike, but who knows.
Most blocks here are still buried with snow to the point where its hard to walk in the middle of the block without loosing your feet in 2 feet of snow.

disregarding all the questions i was asked when i brought my car in, i just got another call from service asking me if anyone has ever worked on my car in the engine area... This is so frustrating wow. They keep mentioning i have an aluminum water pump and not the plastic one, even after i gave them a whole lecture about how the newer models came with an updated pump.
I already contacted corporate because this is ridiculous.

This also is really disappointing that Audi's stance is that they cannot get enough new pumps into the supply line to do a recall with an entire years lead time?

On another note. I was a little perturbed that the Q5 loaners I get are fully loaded as well. LOL It makes me mad every time I hit the lock button and the mirrors fold and my car which is from a higher line from audi doesnt have that.
