    Clutch dash warning light

    I have a 35 tfsi manual which is nearly 3yrs old but only has around 17k miles on the clock. Over the last few months I've noticed the gear change in first and second to be noticeably clunky but thought nothing of it. Yesterday whilst mid journey and going through the gearbox a warning light...

    Windscreen washer fluid very slow to come out

    I think this is very much an A3 design issue rather than a fault with yours. I've had the same issue since I got mine in 2021 and raised it to the dealer but they said it was normal. On the first press/spray mine usually takes a few seconds before the water comes out and the blades definitely...

    Clunking sound

    Can you believe that the technician working on the car won't get paid for the job until he diagnoses and fixes the problem??? That's what the service guy told me...

    Clunking sound

    I've had an update this morning and they've told me they thought it could be the chassis mounts. They've replaced those and it's been out on test but the car still thuds over speed humps. They tell me they've changed the shock absorbers, swing arm, subframe, engine mounts and checked other...

    Brake pedal sound

    My chassis number isn't covered by this recall but the noise and issue sound exactly alike. My dealer states the issue is normal and as the recall won't cover the warranty I can't do anything about it. However, I resolved my issue by deselecting the auto handbrake function as when this was...

    Clunking sound

    My car is still at the dealer and I've had no feedback since last Friday so I assume they still haven't rectified the issue. The car was sat idle Monday and Tuesday but today has been driven over 20 miles. In total the cars had over 50 miles put on the clock since it went in but importantly...

    Clunking sound

    The dealer has contacted me this morning with an update. After borrowing the tool from another dealer they've narrowed down the issue to the front subframe but weren't any more specific than that. They said they'd replaced most parts around the suspension that they thought could be the culprit...

    Brake pedal sound

    Mine 2021 35tfsi does exactly the same thing, again only when auto hold is switched on. Brought this to the attention of my dealer back in 2021 and they told me it was normal but the above link to a recall over the servo issue worries me that they just fobbed me off or they weren't aware of the...

    Clunking sound

    Ah right, thanks for that. That definitely wasn't one of the things the service guy mentioned they'd checked but I know the service reps aren't always clued up about cars, a lot are just administrators so I'd hope the mechanic has already thought about it. Will definitely mention this when they...

    Clunking sound

    Hi all. Over the last month or two my car has started to clunk over large potholes but mainly over speed humps. Never appeared to do it before but left it until it was serviced a couple of weeks ago. The service was done and during the test drive the mechanic confirmed he could hear the clunk...

    Wiper blades

    This weekend I used glass polish on the rear screen and finished off with glass cleaner, the thing was super clean. I took the blade off and washed it in warm water and removed any dirt with rubbing alcohol but it still screeches across the screen. It's due for a service in the next week, I'll...

    Creaking centre armrest

    My centre armrest constantly creaks when it's raised a few inches and I rest my arm on it. I'm not putting much weight on it, it's just resting there and it's as if the ratchet/spring machanism is creaking under tension but I've never had this on any of my other cars. It didn't do it from new...

    Wiper blades

    Has anyone else had an issue with the rear wiper blade screeching across the glass? I've had this since new, Audi replaced the wiper blade last year but the new blade did the exact same within a matter of days. I've polished the glass to get rid of contaminants and wiped the blade but nothing...

    Anyone had faulty climate control button?

    My cars back from the dealer with a brand new AC control unit. The new one works perfectly and since having this unit I noticed that the original one also had another fault. When holding the temp buttons up or down they would go at such a slow pace that if I wanted to go move more than 5/6...

    Anyone had faulty climate control button?

    My car went in this afternoon, work should be done by end of play tomorrow. Service rep said the front part of the dash all has to come out, I'm hoping they don't scratch the plastics and put it back properly so there isn't any rattles. Did you have any rattles after the replacement?
