So, the car was bought brand new in June 2020 and has covered around 9,700 miles since then. Within the past few days, I have noticed an audible low-resonance buzzing/whining in the cabin with the engine running while the car is stationary - on the driveway, at traffic lights, junctions etc. The...

I feel like taking a screen shot of this thread and emailing it to Audi Digital Services. You know when you get that sixth sense feeling that the specialist you’re talking to isn’t really on top of the issue and basically infers the problem is at the user’s end and it is most definitely not a...

I haven’t used my car since last Sunday, although I checked the app on Monday as mentioned and again this morning, when I discovered it was failing to update. I’m going to interrogate the MMI over the weekend as suggested by ADS and see if that re-syncs the app. Failing that, my local Audi...

Yep, I got the same error. Noticed it on my iPhone last Friday evening (15th October). Device and app up to date. This screen also displayed a 'vehicle status could not be retrieved' box and the vehicle status would not update. Contacted Audi Digital Services, who had me (a) log out of myAudi...

Hi @Mittersill nope, still case pending with The Motor Ombudsman. I’m patient.

Interesting. My local, and long term, Audi Centre is Sytner Derby. I’ve never had a bad word with them and they have consistently supported me as a customer for approaching two decades now. This included managing a potentially difficult and expensive partial engine rebuild on my previous A4...

@AlS3BE you’re absolutely correct. This isn’t about a premium priced model at all. I’d apply the same pressure if I’d acquired an entry-level A1 Technik in Shell White with zero options and I mean no disrespect towards that vehicle or owners of it. It‘s about what happens when things go...

@Steve940 Thanks, Steve. Nail. Head. Hit. Yup, it was a small fortune of cold, hard cash, regardless of the deal I struck. Ironically, it was 12 months ago to this very day that I parted with the cash and I picked the car up four days later. In the wet, on a grey day, when it would be...

Oh, and @Simon you might want to think about your choice of term to describe me in response to the issue I was sensibly debating last November and only revisited over this weekend as another contributor chose to comment. I regard the inference as offensive, irrelevant, belittling and about as...

@Simon of course, you’re so right. Thanks for your contribution.

@NHN you clearly have different standards to me, then. I have already said that the scuffing on the trim panel has been extracted from the complaint and will be dealt with externally at the detailing studio as part of a wider PPF installation. They alloy wheel is laser engraved with the Audi...

Yep, I had that from my current insurer. Happy to take the car on 12 months ago and throw in a ‘don’t amend your policy cover and we’ll honour the current premium for the next two renewals’ offer, only to baldly tell me a month ago that the underwriters were no longer willing to cover the car...

Happy indeed, Mike. i dare say if I was prepared to benchmark all the mainstream insurers on a direct basis I’d probably find further, marginal savings were available. At the end of the day two thirds of the specialist brokers were nowhere on price versus cover, while a household name offered me...

100% factory car, Mike. Black calipers as well. Has a Thatcham Cat S5 Tracker fitted and that's it. I'm of a certain age, low mileage, massive NCD, points free licence for 20yrs and low risk neighbourhood. Aviva had my direct business right back to Norwich Union days until about 4 years ago when...
