How come these things aren't covered by warranty ?

Its gutting when you get small problems with your car [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] It really detracts from your enjoyment of it.

I fecking hated my '4 for the first 6 months I had it because of issues with the wheels, and lots of other minor stupid bloody things that I just could not believe Audi would not admit to and had the audacity to put down to my driving style!! I drive like a girl compared to most people I know [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Maybe thats the prob, the RS4 needs a good beating?

No easy way out of it really. Make a list, tell them to fix it (I.e. give them reasonable opportunity) and then see what your options are? Hope you don't have to go as far as I did [img]images/graemlins/rocketwhore.gif[/img]

Last 6 months I owned the car I thought it was great, although showing its age (in terms of design) I thought, and because my driving had changed (I.e. very rarely leave the city now) was just an expensive toy that I never got to use properly.

Sound like you got a "Friday Afternoon" model.

Just about to hit 70,000 km on mine and no serious problems other than the well known wheel problem (three bent) and the centre armrest ratchet.

Car regularly gets a good thrashing.

My advice would be to part ex.........to another RS4 [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[img]images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif[/img] eek, not sure I would have had the patience to deal with that. Mind you my car does live for six months of the year on its winter rims which haven't bent yet!
