Thanks for the reply.

Absolutely no emotion involved and it can be disposed of without any, however it can't be disposed of without financial considerations and on this count it would probably be more cost effective to put new tyres on it more often and keep it. This is when emotion becomes an issue in driving a car that the manufacturer refuses to be responsible for and not doing so certainly has an acceptable cost (just to decide how much).

My real frustration stems from the fact my first Q7 was cured and they refuse to even check the geometry on this one. I also prefer it to the X5 and would rather they cure it than drive an X5.

Another option may be to pay Audi for the geometry check and let them adjust it (even if they tell me it was fine to prevent covering the cost).


Anyone out there legally challenged 'fit for purpose'?
