Just got to 1000 miles in my RS4, went to take it out this evening and 5 mins in and I was still warming up the tyre pressure sensor went off, I was on a dual carriage so I puled over at the next available place to find a very deflated rear tyre. I got the tyre pump out and it was escaping as quickly as it was going in, got as far under as I could with a torch, which isnt far when the tyres flat to see a tear on the inside edge of the tyre.... I will be buggered if I know what I have hit as there was nothing on that or the previous journey, got a tyre being fitted tomorrow so might know more...

I got a puncture on mine at 300 miles in. Luckily repair company could plug it, so cost £30 rather than £300
