Mine appear to be doing the same, so I'll get them to change them in a couple of weeks when it goes in for a service

No, not yet
Actually, I'll change it on two years I suspect. But I really don't know what to get as there's not much out there and b9 could be a while off whilst b8 finishes soon
If new car is 7-8 months lead time, I've still got 11 months before needing to place an order
Whilst I'd love a c7, they're a bit out my budget as far as 2yr depreciation (my spec would be >90k and worth <50 after 2yrs/40k miles) and they're a bit too big for my day to day life (doesn't fit in some car parking spaces)
That power though....

It's OK, but not that special and not particularly cheap.

Your always going to take a hit, just not so hard after the first few years

Re exhausts ; I popped by the dealer today to gee them a heads up to get them the chance to order them before the service next week, and the guy took a couple of pictures and said it should be no problem
Bizzarly, only seems to be affecting one tip as the divers side is fine
Tech said that it's possibly hotter on one side than other, although I wasn't too sure on the mechanics of that

I popped in for my dealer to have a look and take pics, They'd not seen or heard of the issue either.

2 hrs later I get a call to say Audi are going to replace them so I'm pleased at that.

Just got to wait for them to be shipped.

Hi,
same problem here, except my dealer has just said that Audi would NOT fix the tips - its due to cleaning products or road salt. !! Could the people who have had a positive response please let me know what dealers they used so that I can use this for back up data when I confront the dealer.

Many thanks
