As long as I've owned it nobody has worked in that area so the only thing I can think is that when I'm jet washing the car the pressure has gone through the grill and disturbed it.
but what I have noticed is that all the harnesses are not protected all the way up to the plug most have 20-30mm...
buy and OBD reader and it will point you straight towards your issue.
Mine was the same symptoms on a 1.8tfsi and turned out to be a broken wire on the boost pressure sensor plug.
Just for reference if anyone has this issue.
Easy fix....
DTC code P0237 boost pressure sensor, low signal
Turned out to be a small black wire that had detached from the plug situated near the RH fan....

Thanks for the response and info regarding the diagnostic reader I'm hoping to get feedback on the DTCs tonight. I guess I was just hoping for some knowledge or if someone has experienced this themselves.

I have a 1.8TFSI 2011 and I always get the condensation, I'm pretty sure as mention earlier it's not smoke as it evaporates fairly quickly. I've been told it's due to the stainless steel exhaust and possibly running the aircon.
Hi has anybody got any reviews or companies to recommend for independent warranty company.
I'm wanting to cover my a3 1.8tfsi s tronic, I know with Audi some bills can be extortionate so just hoping to have it as peace of mind.
Thanks in advance
I have the same issue but seems to come and go, I find its more frequent when driving around town centres, it only happens at low speeds.
From what I have been reading it is a characteristic of the DSG gear box.
If anyone resolves this with VCDS can you update please.
