Hi all, ive only done 40,000 kms in my 2016 RS3. And developed a vibration from the rear upon acceleration. I noticed this after my right quarter panel and rear wheel was repaired after an accident.
Audi spent 2 days trying to find the problem, and found it to be the AWD coupling unit has failed. I believe it’s also called a transfer case. They couldn’t provide a reason why this part has failed, and say it wouldn’t be related to the accident. it’s $11k aud to fix, cars only worth around $60k.
anyone know what causes this unit to fail? Had a chat to another mechanic, and he says he is starting to see a few more RS3s with this problem
