I did a search on the forum and google and couldn't find any relevant hits. (Now that's out the way).
So another new gremlin which I'm wondering if anyone has experienced. Car is a 2014 8Vs S3.
In brief it has OEM LED Number plate lights from factory... if I pop the boot open the lights come on (if the headlights are on)... but when I close the boot, they turn off. It would be fine if it was the other way around but technically I'll be driving illegally in the dark until resolved!
Essentially about 4inches before the boot gets closed, the lights turn off. All other lights on the boot lid and rear work fine, just the number plate ones are an issue.
Anyone experience this? Sounds as if it's either an earth or a broken wire.
Off it goes back to audi under extended warranty. (Sounds great but still hard word to schedule around earning a living).
My Moan:
This car is the best car I have owned when it comes to performance and drivability. However overall it's the WORST car I have owned, it has had way too many issues for a premium car that each year I have been renewing the extended warranty and actually been getting my moneys worth! These things should not fail on a 5yr old premium car! I am severely put off getting another VAG. I hope I'm just the unlucky one this time and it's not many of you guys experiencing all of these issues too that should not be happening on such a premium car! Rant over!
