Audi A1 broke down after 4 months, PGA Cars horrible service

[AG4]

I've been putting gas from there ever since I got my car din last December. So I don't know if what they said is true.

But apparently there's diesel mixed with the Blaze.

Sounds like they were just putting the blame elsewhere (in this case Petron) so it won't be covered by the warranty. Did they show you the test results?
I've loaded fuel at the Makati Ave branch of Petron a couple of times, and so far no problem.

No they haven't shown the test results. I doubt they will.

Wow! Surprised to hear that kind of problem from a premium marque. And I suppose that sometimes, we tend to favor the premium brands to avoid these kinds of hassles, apparently not.

Yes so true. The car is good but it's the service that's absolutely horrible. After speaking to other friends with Audis, they would rather not deal with PGA if it weren't for the warranty.

Prestige Cars, CATS, Mini, and Volvo all good service I hear.

I have several friends who has nothing but good remarks about their volvo units and that goes for their after sales too.

Whats the use of the warranty if PGA won't honor it anyway.

Tricky if it's a fuel problem. This is not the first time I've heard of issues with direct injection engines due to contaminated gasoline. Especially boosted direct injection engines.

When the car died the second time, definitely their fault. If they suspected a fuel issue, they should have drained the tank!

I suggest filling up at a different station. A tiny bit of diesel or impurity in gasoline will not hurt most cars, but on a direct injection engine, it can be deadly. Even if V-Power has ethanol, you might want to run it, anyway.

Also, don't let the car sit for too long with the same gas in the tank. Stale fuel and varnishing are also bad for high pressure fuel pumps.

Yun na nga. Apparently they had to pay the BIR billions and the owner is tied up with lots of lawsuits. Kaya siguro trying to milk every penny from customers. Plus even if Audi has a 5 year warranty compared to other cars that's just 2 years, I think they're trying to charge everything they can to make back the money for the extra 3 years.

Thanks! I've switched to Shell V Power Nitro which is 97 octane. The car has been running great since.
