    MMI Bluetooth and Android (Note 4) problems

    I've been using an iPhone 5 since owning my A3, and everything has been working great bluetooth streaming music to the MMI system. Last week I decided to switch over to a Note 4 and now barely have any functionality, music plays but: 1. No track/progress information is shown on the interface...

    Audi A3 Sedan/Saloon Production Line - YouTube Video

    I just find it crazy that even with such precision at each step of the process some still come out with problems? How..

    8V VCDS Mods

    I followed the steps to set DRL's in the off position, but the option wasn't there - scrolled down through about 100 options but "(9) Tagfahrlicht-Tagfahrlicht nur in Schalterstellung AUTO" was never listed? I was definitely following the instructions correctly, and was able to do other mods...

    1.8TFSI and 2.0TFSI S3 : Metallic Rustle/Rattle between 1500-3000 rpm

    S-tronic - not sure about this, but I doubt it Sportback - no happens with 3door too Right-hand drive - a canadian is experiencing it so must be left-hand drive too Paranoia - no its such an obvious noise.. Stereo not loud enough - the best solution to it so far.. Expect too much from a £35k+...

    1.8TFSI and 2.0TFSI S3 : Metallic Rustle/Rattle between 1500-3000 rpm

    Yeah its definitely related to the turbo/wastegate, so will only happen in gear within a certain rev range. I called Audi HQ again this week asking for any update, and they have no word. I asked if they could at least tell me if a fix was in development or not, but they couldn't tell me that...

    A3 "Unfixable Rattle" Advice needed.

    If I was in your position I would take it to another dealership and ask them to take a look, get a second opinion.

    1.8TFSI and 2.0TFSI S3 : Metallic Rustle/Rattle between 1500-3000 rpm

    No luck I'm afraid - even on the German forums no-one has posted with a resolution or fix.

    1.8TFSI and 2.0TFSI S3 : Metallic Rustle/Rattle between 1500-3000 rpm

    Sort of sounds like this to me sometimes, except faster and more rhythmic: Metal Scrapes 3 Sounds

    1.8TFSI and 2.0TFSI S3 : Metallic Rustle/Rattle between 1500-3000 rpm

    Tell me about it.. I've since turned off several of my friends looking at Audi cars with my experience, and I doubt I'll be buying an Audi again. I think the most frustrating thing about all of this is the lack of information flow between all parties and their nonchalant attitude at resolving...

    1.8TFSI and 2.0TFSI S3 : Metallic Rustle/Rattle between 1500-3000 rpm

    Sorry to hear you're experiencing it too.. but I suggest contact Audi Australia and bypass your dealership entirely, they can't fix your problem. Forward this thread to them, or ask if they received the bulletin sent out (pasted previously in this thread) and to add your car to the list so...

    1.8TFSI and 2.0TFSI S3 : Metallic Rustle/Rattle between 1500-3000 rpm

    Waste gate or turbo, one of the two I would guess. I spoke to Audi HQ this morning after requesting an update from germany, and apparently the fix is still being investigated.. It does not have high priority because it causes no actual damage. I guess they don't factor in the damage to our...

    1.8TFSI and 2.0TFSI S3 : Metallic Rustle/Rattle between 1500-3000 rpm

    It's all up to waiting on Ingolstadt for that fix, not much Audi SA can do..

    1.8TFSI and 2.0TFSI S3 : Metallic Rustle/Rattle between 1500-3000 rpm

    Yeah, I haven't heard a peep from Audi since they said a fix was being investigated..

    New 8v S3 - things to check

    If they allow you, drive it around the block and listen out for the 1.8/S3 Rattle.

    1.8TFSI and 2.0TFSI S3 : Metallic Rustle/Rattle between 1500-3000 rpm

    Yes they definitely will, they just mean claiming warranty to get your turbo replaced is not allowed as this won't fix the problem anyway.

    1.8TFSI and 2.0TFSI S3 : Metallic Rustle/Rattle between 1500-3000 rpm

    It doesn't - thats a seperate issue for the Golfs that a clip can fix. That clip does not work on the 1.8 and S3's because their engines are designed completely differently - a new solution needs to be designed by Audi. They are officially working on it now from the bulletin they sent out, we...
