Audi Airbag light saga

So once again 5 days in the dealership for an Airbag light. this time it is apparently the wiring harness connection to the steering column that was the culprit.  in fact they think this was the issue the whole time.  back story since I never blogged on that issue.
Stevens Creek Audi blows goats -
I took in my RS6 due to an airbag light.  they cleared the code and could not find the issue.  about a week later it came on again, they took it and "checked it out" came back that they wanted to replace the steering wheel airbag for $1700.. yeah right.  so I said I'll wait.  I did for months until the Battery light came on.  Now this was a drivability issue.  I took the RS6 in to a closer dealer.  RECTOR audi in Burlingame.  They figured it out.  not only did they figure out the issue and get it covered by my extended warranty, but they also found a valve cover gasket leak.  that was a major service and they also got that covered by the warranty.  I would recommend RECTOR audi to anyone ever looking for a good fair dealership.

ugh so the dealer had to argue with the warranty folks and lost. after a week the problem was not fixed. the part is en route from germany still. this week it should be done..
