Hi Guys,
I'm quickly running out of options as to what to do with my 2016 B9 Avant. Perhaps someone has had a similar experience?
While stationary and the car in Drive or Reverse a growing vibration can be felt to fade in and stay there until I set off or put it into Park; there it is silky smooth. Sometimes the vibration is really bad, sometimes it's barely there and barely noticable if at all noticable.
I've had it at Audi and they wanted to do a gearbox service as it was overdue before anything else. Got it booked in and they found a leak from the gearbox sump... quoted £875 for fix as it was a subframe-out job. Car went back to garage where I bought it from as it's still under warranty from them.
They fixed the leak, serviced the gearbox and still no improvement. They then replaced the DMF and told me it was fixed. I got it back, was fine initialy but later that night the vibration was back.
Last thing is tried was putting Redex in and a tank of V Power, still nothing... I'm going to Luton for an airport run on Thursday and hope to give it a good continuous blast.
Beyond that I see no other options, I think the garage will have to refund me but I really like the car and other than this vibration it's perfect, I don't want to give it back if this can be fixed.
