#491 of 496 Maguire comes through ... mostly by protruth Jun 06, 2009 (4:10 pm)
The Maguire Audi dealership in Ithaca, New York, faced with a Lemon Law arbitration decision favoring me, refunded my purchase price in full ... except they wanted to deduct the value of wheel scrapings on 3 of the 4 alloy wheels.   I let them have their oz of flesh regardless that 2 of the 4 wheels were scraped while the Lemon Law Arbitration proceedings were in progress.   I also GAVE the dealer 4 winter tires on original equipment Audi wheels ... cost ~$2000. I had no further use for them, nor DO I have any further use for Maguire's multiple dealerships in Ithaca.   Give me the run around once, my stupid fault. Give me the runaround twice or more, without doubt, their fault.   I quickly bought a 2009 Infiniti G37x AWD coupe with ALL the trimmings for a few thousand less than the original price of the 2008 Audi TTS Hatchback.   After 18 months of hassle and outright lies about the Audi brake shrieking fiasco, I'm reasonably pacified.   And the Infiniti (Nissan parent) is a dream machine.   Based on my experience with Maguire, I cannot in conscience recommend anyone buy an Audi from Maguire Ithaca, and I would caution about ANY purchase from a Maguire dealership in Ithaca without IRONCLAD guarantees regarding repairs IN A CAR STILL UNDER WARRANTY!!
#492 of 496 '02 TT Rear Axle by whitr Jun 20, 2009 (10:21 pm)
Has anyone removed the rear axle on a quattro? I have mine torn down to replace rear bearings and can't get the axles to break loose from the trans coupler. All coupler bolts are removed but that is as far as I can go. Any help would be appreciated. Replies to this message: belennm (Aug 28, 2009 4:37 am) whitr (Aug 28, 2009 5:05 am)
#493 of 496 TT Convertible water Drains by whitr Jun 21, 2009 (6:33 am)
For all TT owners. You should periodically flush the drains in the floor pan of your convertible to keep them from stopping up. After a few years, dirt, leaves etc. will stop them up and cause water to pool in the pan beneath very expensive, moisture sensitive, comfort control module. Personal experience; my '02 CCM failed and the dealership blamed it on a tear in the rubber gasket just behind the pass. door and said I needed a new top, in addition to the $800+ for the CCM. I replaced the top at a local trim shop and the owner told me that the drains had been clogged for quite a while and that it was his opinion that was the cause for CCM failure. If drains had been clear, he said water from the tear would have flowed straight to the drains and not pooled to slosh around and wet the CCM.

#495 of 496 Re: '02 TT Rear Axle [whitr] by belennm Aug 28, 2009 (4:37 am)
Replying to: whitr (Jun 20, 2009 10:21 pm) what brought you to change the bearings, IE, noise, etc?   I have an 03 TT Coupe and have a roaring in the rear of the car, especially over 70 mph. I don't think it is the tires (new Michelin's). When the back seats are up it is muffled to some extent.   Any ideas, all input will be appreciated.

Replying to: belennm (Aug 28, 2009 4:37 am) First it was roaring, then it began to wobble. Probably was ready to come apart, Anyway, I dismantled rear suspension (both wheels) and took complete assemblies to a repair shop to have bearings replaced. I am back on the road now. Thanks for responding.
