Vibration 75-80mph

[Markp]

Sorry to hear that. If replacing them avoid Audi and go to ebay.de There is a new set of Performance alloys and tyres on there for £2600, and normal versions are cheaper.
Or get some 20s - they are problem free (within reason).

Just to update.. 3 buckled wheels

Vicious... I had two and thought that was bad.

[DaytonaMatt]

Front 2 minor apparently, rear nearside a little more so as evidenced by quite a few weights.

Audi saying get them all looked at, keep 'best 2' and buy 2 new, however as the vibration currently is really quite minor I am tempted to either leave it, or have them repaired. If I were to ever replace 2, I would in all honesty consider going an aftermarket route

Has anyone had a repair done?

[Markp]

Road force balancing with rim matching will give the best ride possible with bent rims. Way better than normal balancing.

Just to update.. 3 buckled wheels

I wince (and panic) every time l hit or drive over a bump and/or pothole. Have heard horror stories about wheel buckling.... what has caused your 3 wheels to buckle if you can recall?

[DaytonaMatt]

No idea - happens above NSL so not picked up pre purchase. Noticed it shortly thereafter. So before my time

[MrHilario]

I had a buckled wheel and had it repaired for about £170. Cheaper than a replacement.

[Coople]

I have got the same issue I think. Vibration felt at the same speeds but not all the time.. not through the steering wheel though..

[DaytonaMatt]

Just thought I should follow up....

Took it to a local place Audi use - 4 wheels all slightly buckled, straightened out in the morning and now drives perfectly. Interesting the owner of the wheel place said his preference was to a slightly softer wheel as they bend and can be repaired, versus apparently a BMW issue where they tend to just crack

Interesting so they just straightened the wheels without a refurb?

[DaytonaMatt]

When you say refurb, do you mean getting rid of parking damage etc? In which case yep - all they did was straighten. I do have a few dings on the wheels but none big enough to annoy me so I didn't ask for them to be done, and nor did they insist.

It was Autowerks in slough - must admit a thoroughly good outfit based on my experience
