As you drive away they give you a waving gesture akin to saying goodbye.
I always get a two finger gesture from the dealer .

'Ramics or steel on your 4?

My dealer couldn't find any details on the recall. FFS.

Anyone got a reference for the recall work?

I can see this is going to be painful, it shouldn't take a phone call to Audi UK everytime the car is feckered....

Its not a recall, as there isn't a safety issue etc.. You needed to have logged the problem with Audi UK, as the parts are being shipped out based on this.
