Frank Hogan Audi Service & Repair

    Hi all,

    As per my thread a few weeks ago flywheel and clutch replaced in my A4 2.0 tdi, when it was all bolted back together they found the turbo was gone. Since then I've had loads of opinions but all are saying to go to a main dealer for the repair, which will be expensive but they will have no choice but to stand over the work. I always bought parts and stuff off Newmarket Motors and found them very good but when I went to the Service Department I was extremely disappointed and almost disgusted by what the service manager had to say. Needless to say I wont be carrying the car to them. The other option is Frank Hogan's in Limerick, spoke to their service manager and he was more than helpful and said theyd have a look and then let me decide the extent of the repair if I want to repair it at all (replace oil pump etc if that was the fault of the blown turbo) I have heard that it could possibly be the wrong engine oil (no one has put engine oil in it since I bought it btw) has destroyed the oil pump.

    Anyway just wondering what sort of experience people have had with them? Thanks.

    Take it to Blackwater or Newcastle West.

    We've transported stuff from Dublin to Blackwater to get it done right and at a good price, and Newcastle West have a great reputation within the VAG network.

    I'm surprised at Newmarket, but I don't have any dealings with the service side of things there.

    Not sure about quality, but I know they are very pricey.

    TBH I dont really mind the price, they are all going to be in and around the same mark considering the turbo alone is €1450. I'd be more interested in peace of mind than saving 100 quid between dealers.

    I'd advise you get a written quote. I agree €100 is smallish change, but what if it were €500?

    Hogan's are meant to be crazy expensive (never dealt with them directly though)

    Pierse Motors in Tipp town are meant to be quite good.

    I will have to get a written quote anyway to send to the warranty company but knowing them I'll probably end up paying it myself and having a big argument about it for 6 months. If they are too expensive I will get the same work priced someplace else I am only asking them to survey the damage at the moment so to speak.

    I have used Blackwater before and will never use them again.

    I wouldn't go near Hogan's either but I second Pierse Motors in Tipperary Town. I've always found them excellent.
