Niggly issues thread

Keep pushing Audi UK. Go into the supplying dealer with the problems and ask to spoak to the warranty manager.

Hit him with them all and ask him if it’s likely it will be refunded and get the dealer to work for you.

You have to keep on at them.

9k is a big lump and I was facing £ 16k loss on a trade in so feel your pain.

Alternative is that the car will eventually slow down in depreciation and time it right to get out of it when you can break even

Into what car though is a different matter ! I really struggle to pinpoint a model/manufacturer which I like and suits my needs. They are all either hybrid or too much tech and bits to go wrong with big bills.

I even started looking at golfs !

Back to one of the best interiors and steering wheels Audi have ever made

It just works !

Feels like a step back compared to a fully loaded B10 but no annoying bongs going off and stuff malfunctioning

Happy to be back

That’s the same interior layout as my FY (B9.5 if you like) SQ5, and like you, I think it’s about as good as it gets. I ordered it new in mid 2024 to make sure I got the end of the old platform and not the start of the new one. By the time it arrived at the dealership for me to collect there were already some B10 models in the showroom and on inspection I was really put off by the appearance and execution, and that was without even thinking about whether it even worked or not.

That's one of the best steering wheels in any car, ever. No matter it's anything but a rare sight in Audis.

Same issue I had. 8 times it came on in 8 months.

If your fans on the rad pack start to go crazy it’s the flapper motor fault in the front bumper.

If they are okay then could be anything. Check your fuel cap is screwed on properly.

If all ok and car drives ok then it will probably go off in one to two weeks like mine did.

I started calling the light “Arnie” when it went out - I’ll be back !

Update the light went out after 2hrs. I had shut down 3 times in that time and on the fourth it went out. It just the ongoing software bug I guess. Will send the image off to Audi uk tomorrow so they got it on file as part of ongoing dispute with them. Still have to open the rear door once in a while just to get cruise control to work.

It's been a while since I've had any faults but today the rear assist had a meltdown and then after that cruise control, hold assist, Park and locking the car stopped working. Once I left it for a while it was ok again.

I had the other night and yesterday the yellow car crash symbol come up when driving and stayed on along with lane assist fault. Then the other night I had the heart with plus cone on and stayed there, got to garage to fill up and shut down started car and it cleared the fault. It started to have another little melt down again. Window would not close.

Audi finance emailed yesterday to say I hit 8 week and now can take it up with finance ombudsman as they not looked at it yet still.

Touch wood, since the last meltdown we have had no issues. You watch now it will explode!

It is booked in on the 16th to be looked at. A bit like trying to get into the doctors, you(the car) have recovered way before you can get in to see them such is the waiting list.

The last time my car was at the dealer, they couldnt do anything as the AA had cleared the fault codes.
 
We have photographed every fault and each time something happens I email the service manager at the dealer. 99% of the time the faults clear if you turn the car off for a few hours of cycle the ignition.
 
I do the same every an issue occurs. Audi finance is still sitting on it.

Also do not was the car with the key in your pocket.

My jetwash locks/unlocks the car and opens the tailgate. VERY frustrating as the boot gets soaked.

I don't have that issue. 99% of the time the boot only opens a fraction. It hasn't opened fully for about a year.

Have the same issue, It is very frustrating, It either the boot that opens or the alarm keeps getting triggered.
