Got my car back yesterday having had the seat back replaced with new hide, still a couple of issues with that seat, but no need to go into that right now. My issue / question surrounds the fact that both front seats were removed & sent up to a car seat specialist, so as to give them easier access for working on my drivers seat & could use the passenger seat as a reference to how exactly the finished seat should look.

Here's my question to RS6 owners, when you look at the space between the front seats (where the armrest is) do you have the same gap between drivers seat & armrest as you do with the passenger seat & armrest?? Mine now has the passenger seat tight up against the armrest (makes an annoying noise as its rubbing) & yet i have a gap of just under 1 inch between the drivers seat & the armrest (both seats are set to roughly the same position i.e height & recline etc.). I'm sure i would have noticed this before, as it looks very odd.

The wheel issue is not yet sorted, as even after the dealer balanced them & added 80g to one of the front wheels, i still get steering wheel judder at about 50mph. Looks like this problem may be slightly more severe than just a balancing issue.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I have just checked my car and there is less of a gap between the passenger seat and the centre armrest than there is with the drivers seat, only by a few mm though, and it does not touch in any position. Get it back to that dealer.
Which dealer are you using? i am in Manchester and i have only had my car 3 weeks from new and she has only covered 1000 miles so no problems yet.
As far as your wheel wobble i would take the car to an independant specialist like Dave Sheldons in Manchester and they will tell you if it is bent. This was a problem that the RS4 had when first released.

Well this is funny because my armrest is also up against the passender's seat and makes an extremely annoying noise!
About 25mm gap the other side...

The Beast is going back to the dealers later this week to have a new back put onto the drivers seat (upholsterer managed to badly scratch when replacing the leather) & have the wheel issue looked at further. They will also be looking to rectify this drivers seat position issue, as before they removed both front seats to send to the upholsterer, they were aligned correctly.

Dealer has ordered 2 new front wheels to fit to my car & use this to eliminate certain possible faults with my front wheels. The steering wheel wobble is still very evident at around 60mph & is getting frustrating. Fingers crossed that she will be perfect again in a couple of weeks.
