Hi,
I need some help with my 1 year old Audi which I have had since new. The first 6 months the car has been fine and since January 2015 I have had multiple issues which Audi are unable to fault and nothing showing on diagnostics. Not sure were I go from here as I do not feel safe driving the car. My main issue is the cutting out which happens without warning, brief explanation of issues below:
December 2014/ January 2015
Car cut out and steering and breaks locked up until car came to a standstill this happened moving from 1st to 2nd gear moving through traffic lights. I turned car off and back on and everything seemed fine
24/03/2015 9-10pm at night
Centre break light bulb warning light came on but break bulbs were all fine
28/04/2015
Car cut out and steering and breaks locked up until car came to a standstill this happened moving from 3rd to 2nd gear preparing to take a bend. I turned car off and back on and everything seemed fine
29/04/2015 am - Audi assist
Only fault picked up was the air conditioning - recommended to take into garage
29/04/2015 pm
Went into Audi garage
7/05/2015 - picked car up from Audi
Couldn't find faults and nothing appearing on diagnostics, told to see how I get on
18/05/2015 - 21:48
Centre break light bulb warning light came on - have a picture (see attached) but again no issue with break bulbs all working ok
28/05/2015 (3 different noises)
- strange noise very subtle
- partner identified another noise (sounds like electric buzzing noise) underneath car between driver door and rear door behind driver
- partner opened car bonnet and I revved engine whilst car running and there was a rattling noise coming from engine bay at the front left
04/06/2015
Car went back into garage after booked back into garage after issues detailed above occurred following collection of car on 07/05/15.
The car still reporting no faults and nothing showing on diagnostics but they've managed to identify the issue with break bulb light coming on which they have now fixed by replacing the high level break lamp unit.
Car is still in garage as they are saying they cannot fault my other 2 issues above and nothing appearing on diagnostics for the strange noises and cutting out.
Can anybody help shed any light on these 2 further issues to give me some armour to go back to Audi with, I am struggling as with all issues to date as soon as car is turned off and back on again at ignition everything seems fine again.
Thank you very much.
Emma
