picked up my new (64)A4 avant Black edition a couple weeks back, few issues with it and wondered if anyone had experienced the same or similar.
Indicators not cancelling out.
DAB radio pulsating - like volume being turning low then high
Windows continually condensates, unless blower on full.

now i had a 13 model exact same, all with same features and none of these problems ever occurred, it's booked in to Audi but just wondering if anyone has ideas?
 
Sounds like pollen/ cabin filter need replaced or windows steaming up...
Other issue I don't know mate.
 
The DAB issue it is due to changing signal strength. You might notice on occasion FM appearing next to the station name. This is when the DAB signal is too low and the radio switches to the FM tuner until the DAB reception improves.
 
Pollen cant need changing on brand new car, but worth a punt.

Indicator issue, is dab affected when indicators are running at all?

Indicators not cancelling, is this constant or sporadic?
 
DAB on my 2013 model never pulsates the way this one does, is there some booster that can be fitted to this?

Indicators not cancelling is sporadic, always when traffic ****** busy too...

Car is going in on 02/12, it's the little things that p155 me off

Aberdeen Audi salesmans response.... "it's one of these things, you'll have to live with".......... NO CHANCE!
Service dept then said, because the computer could not find anything, then there must be nothing wrong, what ever happened to real mechanics? i was then told the pulsating is caused by the base & treble being on max, this has never been set this way so don't know where that came from, but it's strange because after they said that, i set their loan car to max on both, turns out that's a load of rubbish too as the loan car ran fine with no issues.... so it's booked back in for 15/12
 
Condensation is normally as a result of a water leak. Check for water sitting in the footwells and spare wheel well.
 
If you have the MMI system you can get the engineering menu enabled (by someone with VCDS) and see the DAB signal strength.

Who is behind Aberdeen Audi - is it a John Clark dealership...? If so doesn't surprise me their cavalier attitude to customer service....!?!

Yes it's JC. I just picked the car up again today, they've changed the amp but not progress with the windows, they state they've done a sonic test on the seals and they are fine, i'll see how it goes over xmas..

I have the MMI, but i have no clue what VCDS is or how it's used
