No problems like this for me, '14 model

Sounds like you have problems. Did you guy from a main dealer? Does it still have warranty?

It's either the mechatronic unit or potentially it's had that replaced and not had the correct adaptation afterwards.

Take it back and they will run some logs and send it to Audi in Germany.....then the fun begins. :audibash:

Do you use Jack Barclays in London? By the looks of things they're the wrong side of town, but if you can, get your car there. They will sort you out 100%.
