Re: S4 issues
Fingers-crossed I hope things are resolved
Re: S4 issues
Managed to get a free service out of Audi which I guess is a result and I am pleased with.
Everything seemed as it should with the car today so at the moment I'm pleased.

Re: S4 issues
As long as your pleased is the main thing ,coming from mercedes last car being an sl i was pissed of big time with audi in the beginning having all the problems with mine they seemed never ending but now I'm pleased with my car and enjoying it but will probably change it later on in the year when it will be 3 years old but will be replacing it with another audi because i like the brand.
Re: S4 issues
Issues still on-going. See video here of the noise:

Really fed up with all the issues I've had with this car now. It will be going into the dealer for the 7th time in 9 months.
I've told them I don't want it back until it's sorted. Is there anything I can do about this as this really isn't good enough from Audi, I don't want to drive it anymore.

I'm not sure which is worse the brakes or the noises from the driver!Nickyboy wrote:Issues still on-going. See video here of the noise:

No, when I saw your post I thought this could be down to personal expectations and some brakes can squeal a bit particularly if not fitted properly but bugger me they are bad!!!!

Re: S4 issues
The technician told me I didn't need to as had been out in the car testing them during the two days he had the car. Since having them I have done a mixed amount of hard and soft driving so I assume through this process they should be ok.
Anything you can recommend?
Yes the driver did make some odd noises there, I'm sure that will amuse Audi UK when they watch it.

Re: S4 issues
Im not going to come up with a witty comment obviously you've contacted AUDI UK and the dealer has the car make sure you get a decent loaner and push for a couple more free services.
Re: S4 issues
I don't mind a witty comment.

Nicky, sorry you're Audi experience is not all you expected. Just to prove that they're not all bad, I haven't had one issue with mine. I thought the brake issue had been sorted on the facelift model and my tyres, after 9000 miles, are wearing evenly.
I hope you get sorted and be sure to push Audi uk for a decent loaner and freebies.
