RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

After my 6th visit to Audi in as many months hopefully now they have sorted the issues as follows:

1. Interior trim needed replacing as the leather was sub-standard.
2. Two attempts to get this right due to wrong colour door cards arriving.
3. New interior trim resulted in door rattling.
4. Sun visor rattling.
5. Geometry been off, three attempts to resolve.
6. Brakes squeeking and squeeling. Two times to resolve.

So after all that and after 8500 miles thay appear to have sorted the interior trim issues and I have got new discs and pads on the front.

I will be able to tell tomorrow morning whether thay are finally fixed but I'm praying they are. I am due a call back from Audi UK tomorrow to follow up my complaint and hopefully answer my request for something as a goodwill gesture.

I will see what they say tomorrow.

Although the S4 is a great car the Audi experience thus far hasn't been superb, dare I say it, the Skoda experience was better (even that was p*ss poor). Apparently the head of business is raising this to Audi coupled with the TTRS brakes issues.

Anyone else had similar issues?

Didnt realise youd had brake issues did you do a thread on it? I had water pump ,thermostat ,front brake discs pads and callipers,wing mirror and rear light seals all replaced under TSBs [technical service bulletins] on my 2010 S4 .The new brakes they put on mine was in early 2011 sorted the squealing out ,did a bit of complaining to AUDI UK and ended up getting 2 free services.

No I didn't do a thread, don't know why to be honest as I probably should have.

Two free services would be nice. I'll see what they say tomorrow.

Also found out that my tyres range from 5mm to 2mm. I'm guessing this isn't normal either. Going to need 4 imminently.

Each tyre varies or left to right / front to back?

When i complained to AUDI UK they told me that every year they allocate a certain amount of money to each dealership as "goodwill payments" for the dealer to allocate as they feel fit.Now if there is any money left in the pot at the end of the year they get to keep it so some dealers will be less forthcoming than others ,don't take no for an answer from the dealer and speak to AUDI UK yourself if you have to and just keep the pressure on until you get what you want for all the trouble and inconvience you've had on purchasing a brand new premium car.

I got two years free servicing when I bought my S4. I think I'm going to change onto fixed servicing as I do a lot of urban / short journeys. I'll also get two services out of them that way aswell

15k miles on my dunlops and plenty of tread left,fronts are wearing quicker than rears.Sounds like you are driving the car hard and it will eat through tyres thats one of the joys of running these performance cars.

What tyre pressures you running? looks like they might be slightly over inflated if wearing more in the centre.

What ever it says in the door. I think 36 front and 33 rear. Can't be sure though.

That sounds about right TBH, I'm acually running slightly higher (39F/34R), again from Door jam info (for saloon).

I might have to keep a good eye on my tyres aswell.

I guess yours is just suffering from heavyrightfootedness
