    GOOD RIDDANCE - 2013 A4 Avant Black Edition

    I am in total agreement with your statement but I guess as a Audi customer who only spends £40/50k every 3 years this wasn't good enough (although I was looking to buy a A1 for the wife but they never responded to my communications, so now she has purchased a Golf 7 GTD instead) and with many...

    GOOD RIDDANCE - 2013 A4 Avant Black Edition

    The outstanding issues were the vague and unpredictable steering (which is a well documented issue amongst other A4 owners), front brakes clunking when applied in reverse, clutch pedal vibration and creaking steering/front suspension. With regards to vehicle rejection there is no time limit...

    GOOD RIDDANCE - 2013 A4 Avant Black Edition

    No, too time consuming and it became obvious the Audi were digging there heels in. The only way the address this debacle was in a court of law, and I was not going to appoint a solicitor at great cost with no cast iron guarantees that I would be successful in my attempts to seek the rightful...

    GOOD RIDDANCE - 2013 A4 Avant Black Edition

    We'll they offered nothing initially stating that the defects on my A4 were acceptable!! My experience of Audi CS in this debacle is truly appalling, they did not give a rats ****! The so called customer service manager and after sales manager at my dealer confirmed that after holding my A4 for...

    GOOD RIDDANCE - 2013 A4 Avant Black Edition

    I am surprised I lasted that long myself. I have in the past rejected cars that have many manufacturing defects and in all truthfulness I really liked the car that much I just wanted to get the issues resolved so I could get on with enjoying my car. My A4 has been with my Audi dealer since 28th...

    GOOD RIDDANCE - 2013 A4 Avant Black Edition

    warren S3 you have hit the nail on the head when you stated "complacency" and "arrogance" due to Audi's present sales success. It is Audi's apparent philosophy that "one customer lost is another one gained" customer service is severely lacking and no one wants the responsibility or to be...

    2013 A4 Avant "Clunk" braking in reverse!!

    The pads were replaced and a unspecified copper anti seize applied.....Audi did not go into too much detail. The "clunk" has been cured to date so fingers crossed it will stop that way, although I have heard of many other issues that can cause the "clunk" in particular sway bar links!

    2013 A4 Avant "Clunk" braking in reverse!!

    Johnnythepie I can well believe what you are saying re the amount of customers reporting faults that do not exsist or cannot be replicated at the dealers. Fortunately for myself I am qualified and have worked in the trade for 25+ years so can accurately describe and relate to the issues that...

My A4 had also inherited the poor and notchy 1st and 2nd gear change coupled with a judder at the top end of the clutch pedal. The gearbox...

    My 2013 A4 Avant Black Edition has a very noticeable "clonk" when the brakes are pressed when moving in reverse, has anyone identified the cause or had the same issue on their B8.5 model? I have spoken to my Audi Dealer and they said it was a "characteristic" of the brake pads moving in the...
