I joined this forum a couple of weeks ago, after I took delivery of my Q4 45 quattro. I have only had a chance to drive it for 2 weeks and a few hundred Km but in that time, I listed 10 problems.
Now that I have read posts here, I am beginning to realise that this may only be the tip of an iceberg and, worse still, is the fact that Audi do not have an over-the-air system to apply any software updates - even if they did have fixes, which they don't.
I was disappointed by options I didn't know I needed to order: face ventilation in the rear, front parking sensors or a domestic outlet charging cable. These are also expensive and usually part of some whole package.
By items they didn't supply: the rear light bar doesn’t illuminate and there is no flat tyre kit.
And software issues, which were beginning to reveal themselves. The ones I found were: not storing my settings and the on-board charging timer not working. I was also ‘told’ to put my hands on the wheel, when they were and the radio traffic info would suddenly come on, even though it was set not to.
Neither the Swiss Dealer, Importer nor Audi (who are uncontactable) were concerned to do anything about it. Although I now understand better why this might be the case, I cannot follow why they are being allowed and allowing their brand reputation to slide.
