So guys I have got my car back after Audi had it for 2 days to look at 2 main issues i was concerned with.
1. When in COD mode at under 30mph speed the engine is very tappity. Sounds like metal rattling.
2. Once engine has got up to temp there is a noise changing between 3rd and 4th but as the car get even warmer does it when setting off from stand still.
The results.
Young girl comes out and says our techy cant find a fault and no codes and they went on a test drive and heard nothing. They had it up on ramps and checked all technical bulletins and checked the transmission. The only thing they have noticed is your due a transmission fluid change.
I then informed her that its a dry box and doesn't need changing to which she looked embarrassed and said its a computer error. So the we decided to that I would take their senior tech guy for a drive to demonstrate the issues.
I first showed him my actuator rod and how much play there was in it and how it rattled. He looked at me and said nothing. Then got it the car and said how his guys had checked none issues and nothing came up.
I demonstrated the ticking at low speed. albe it was ****** raining so it wasn't the best demo and he said they have had a number of customers complain however audi haven't released any bulletin about it so they are to do nothing. Then i managed to show him the gear cooo noise and he said he was stumped and my guess is and good as his. He then asked where did i buy it from and reminded me that the warranty was about to run out and his advice was extend the warranty. Until Audi release a technical bulletin about the issue they will do nothing. (Im thinking the clutch could be slipping?) Anyway he left it like that will no answers or solutions. He even said the warranty wouldn't really cover the issue. Then he reminded me that the transmission oil needs replacing so I reminded him that again its a dry box which he went off to a terminal and came back and said your right. And that was it. He looked like he cat caught his tongue. Remained silent. Im thinking of contacting Audi HO and making some inquires. What you think guys ?
