Hi all,
I have my A4 1.4 Saloon Manual BE in with the dealers due to a few issues. Its 8 months old and has 11k on the clock (90% motorway miles).
1. Passenger side front door postilion bar bolt keeps coming lose - Dealers fixed with new bolts as the threads had gone.
2. Steering wheel noise. The following link has a video of the noise which comes on randomly. The dealers are unable to replicate it and believe its not an issue, but I seem to have it happen twice a week, at low speeds and when parked up. I've never had car old or new ever make a noise like this. - Told to come back if it happens again.

3. While it was in, it was reported my front tyres (Continental Sport Contact 6- 19") where less than 1.6mm and the rears where at 3mm. Thought this is a bit excessive, but was advised this is normal as its a high performance car??! (1.4), but I only do motorway miles and drive normal. - Front tyres been replaced asap.
4. Oil was less than 50% and required a top up. I only topped up a full litre of oil at around 9800 miles when the MMI reported (using the free oil supplied) it needed it and since then its used nearly a litre of oil under 2000 miles. Been advised that I was lucky to get to 9800 miles with having to top up. But I still a little concerned by this. - Oil been topped up by them.
Still loving the car though
Thanks all
