Right folks............i suppose most of us own an Audi because we assume they are the best model/make on the road.

Having owned one for 6months now im begining to notice little niggles etc i think could be better. Here's some of mine

Rattling Glovebox

Brake Calipers (poor finish)

Poor Audiable alarm system

just a few for now...................its not a "lets rip Audi to peices" thread just a few things i thought could need improving

Any more??

 

[damianmkv]

poor finish on the calipers ?

Lack of power of the 2.0 TDi - mine doesn't seem like 140PS

High insurance group just because of the badge

What insurance group is the 2.0 TDI?

Group 11

 

[davemk]

Group 13 for the 170 I think.

 

[Beddie]

I absolutely HATE the fact......

That it's not a Sprint Blue S3

lol!

 

[ramezk]

the 1.6 is group 10 - whereas the equivalent golf is a 5

The cost of parts when it goes wrong..

The cost of Audi's bloody labour (I go to a Specialist now)

The stupid Intake Manifold Fault on most 2.0 TDI which Audi didn't cover me for as i don't service my car from them anymore!

 

[ramezk]

What intake manifold fault?

 

[kaz219]

ermm...intake manifold prob.

It seizes and blows the F8 fuse and that cuses your fans not to work.

The engine mangement light comes on, its £200 for a new flap...

And Audi didn't contribute to help me out !!

I made a thred on another forum as this one didn't exist at the time...

I had a similar problem with my mk5 gti (intake manifold flap/sensor luckily repaired under warrenty)

back to the HATE thread

i got a rattling/creaking glove-box!!

 

[xs2man]

I cant believe no-one has mentioned it yet, but I HATE the fact I can't open my window when its raining without getting the whole of the inside of my car soaked.

How hard would that have been to fix? Really?

Not to do with the Car but part of owning it & I wouldn't say Hate, more like dislike... the snobby Main Dealers, had to go there the other day to get a new intake hose as I had a Boost leak, went straight from work in my filthy clothes and the looks I got from the Brut wearing Salesmen, bit too up them selves for my liking, completely different from the experiences I had when dealing with VW...

[ramezk]

I just got quoted £278 for a service, and also my cambelt need changing soon which is another £700!!!!!!!

For f**** sake - This is the thing I hate about my audi

i'll agree with that, they make you feel like you need to dress up just to go in them.

 

[SteveyD]

The lambda sensors........ and coil packs but thats typical with any newish car I guess. I really hate the fact that its a V6 instead of a V8 lol

 

[davelincs]

the weak sounding audible alarm on the reversing sensor, virtually have to turn the radio off to hear them

 

[gavnayshgttdi115]

i hate the fact every time i wash it birds sheet on it!!! oh and the alarm is crap cant hear it!!

 

[adey]

just beat me to it! the ALARM!!!!! or lack of it []
