    Facelift Irritating Rattle Being Investigated By Dealer

    Totally agree and not acceptable however my GLC rattled and creaked badly from the instrument binnacle, dash top, centre console, all four doors, the tail gate and roof liner. Check out YouTube for C class trim rattles. Just saying that generally Audi’s are among the best screwed together...

    Facelift Irritating Rattle Being Investigated By Dealer

    I think it’s a modern car thing. Since moving on from my Audi A6 18 months ago I’ve had 2 merc’s ( CLA 45 and GLC 43) and now a BMW and they all had/have interior rattles. The Merc GLC was by far the worst and the Audi was the best. I think the use of recyclable plastics and cost cutting all...

    Killer road tax on post April 2017 cars

    I’ve just done this with my CLA selling it back to the dealer at two months old. It has a list of £48k and I got back 10/12th of £450. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Killer road tax on post April 2017 cars

    April 17 onwards costs £140 a year plus £310 luxury car tax for the first 5 years starting from when it’s one year old. Your pre April car will be £230 a year less so £1150 less over 5 years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Talk me in to NOT cancelling my order

    I’d try a different dealer or manufacturer. I cancelled my Audi as the customer service from the dealer I elected to use was dreadful. I’ve not had much luck with Audi dealers but I’m sure some good ones exist. When I cancelled my order, before my car was built I lost half of my deposit and that...

    Rejection?

    The point I'm making is exactly the response you have given reference the hand brake. My car was faulting from the day I drove it out of the showroom. It was the lack of skill? commitment? caring? not sure what that resulted in a drawn out battle. I insisted a field engineer visit the car and...

    Rejection?

    Not all service advisors are equal though and some IMO don’t deserve to be paid at all. I’ve been in a position where a new car had a faulty gearbox and another an engine issue where it would make changing gear smoothly very difficult. The service advisor tried to blame my driving style and high...

    Attempted Theft

    Friend of mine had both Audi's parked on the drive the other night and woke to find one (Q5) with the boot open and the other (A4) with the drivers window smashed. It seems some sort of software was used on the cars to try and start them as the keys no longer work although the electrics seem to...

    Temporary hold on new Audi S4 Orders!?

    Not as cheap as an S4 or TFSI 2.0 but not bad. May be better on a PCP. https://www.contracthireandleasing.com/personal/car-leasing/mercedes-benz/cla-class/

    Rejection?

    My BMW was rejected for a steering rack failure. It's classed as a major component failure and so rejection should not be a problem. It's much easier in the first 30 days of ownership however they have failed to rectify the fault and the fact it's on finance really helps. CLA 45 AMG Shooting brake

    Looking to purchase a B9 S4 coming from a BMW M235i

    M*35i don't have fun flats either as standard only as an option. M235i's on passive dampers are pretty hard but ok on adaptive. The S4 on passive will be similar to the M235i on adaptive but it's how it feels to you so a test drive is a must. CLA 45 AMG Shooting brake

    Air filter/ Panel filter help

    Agree with keeping the OEM. Diesels have an abundance of air anyway and as a standard paper filter does a better job of filtering the air than a performance filter i'd stick with the OEM filter but change it regularly. CLA 45 AMG Shooting brake

    Facelift Which alloys should I choose for my new S3?

    I'd go standard wheels, I think they look better (personal choice) but they are also forged meaning stronger and lighter than the other two option wheels. CLA 45 AMG Shooting brake

    S3 stolen

    Sorry to hear this, sad times but glad you and your family are safe. Afraid CCTV won't stop this sort of thing. My friend had his 6 month old Golf R stolen off his drive last week. 4 men broke into his house through the back door, took the keys, pushed it off the drive then drove it off. Car...

    Temporary hold on new Audi S4 Orders!?

    An official statement would be good, especially to put potential and prospective buyers minds at rest bearing in mind the VW issues. I haven't got the CLA yet, due to collect it in October. CLA 45 AMG Shooting brake

    Temporary hold on new Audi S4 Orders!?

    The S4 I cancelled was built on July 3rd and delivered to the dealer last week as dealer stock. From what I can gather on here the press are aware of the emission issues but Audi dealers and Audi UK aren't? So If i'd taken delivery of my car it would, after the summer shut down, be an out of...

    Temporary hold on new Audi S4 Orders!?

    My cancelled S4 was kept on order by the dealer as they wanted it for dealer stock. It was due to be built week commencing July 3rd but has yet to be built. I think some dealers are being creative with the facts. CLA 45 AMG Shooting brake
