Hello Graham,

Sorry to hear you haven’t had any responses, so I guess it’s fair to say it’s unlikely to be a common problem.

Noticing the car is still within its last warranty year ( respecting it is probably now just over 3 years old) I wonder if it’s worth seeking advice/inspection at your local main dealer - with the possibility of some goodwill contribution from Audi towards fixing the fault, subject to an expected full service history. 

Failing that then a trusted local diesel specialist would be my next move. 

Kind regards,

Gareth. 

cheers Gareth, with regards to warranty Audi will not honor  because last service was done with car doing 450 miles over scheduled service period

going to take car back to where I bought it in October this year, they gave me 4 months warranty or 4000 miles , will post what there find/do

 

Thanks for coming back on this Graham, and good luck with getting it sorted out. I guess it’s now of warranty then. 

As a matter of interest, can we take it you didn’t buy it from a franchised dealer? 

Kind regards, 

Gareth. 

Hi. Did you find out what it was in the end? Have the exact same problem now with my 2016. Tia
