Evening all
I own a 2020 S4 tdi which I’ve had since new, and has always been serviced by the main dealer. The warranty expired in March and it recently hit 60k miles. It’s been trouble free until 60k miles but since then it has been plagued with issues and all sorts of warning lights have been popping up, including an Ad blue system failure, gear box malfunction and drive system fault, as well as a squealing noise coming from the engine bay on start up- this is sporadic. The faults generally clear once the vehicle is restarted but I booked it in with Audi for a diagnostic today.. They found issues with the alternator, wiring to the ad blue system and biggest of all, a ‘planetary’ gear box fault which sounds pretty serious- they’ve kept the car for further investigations tomorrow. However, they’ve implied that a new gearbox will be needed so looking at megabucks. £10k was banded about! They did mention they would look at some sort of goodwill as the car is not particularly high mileage and has been maintained by the dealer. Has anyone on here experienced similar issues with their S4 TDI? Do you think I’ve got a reasonable chance of Audi footing the bill? Thanks.
