Hi, I'm new to this forum. Just Trying to find out if the issue I have with my gearbox is a normal sound or its actually giving up. Pulling away in 1st gear sounds like a straight cut gear box out of a rally car,  every so often the car won't select first and sometimes reverse aswel. I have 2 years warranty so taking it back to audi isn't an issue. I just want to make sure I don't look stupid taking it back if it's ment to be noisy ( which I don't think it should be) I've only owned the car for 13 days and it already has a few problems that need to be addressed. Many thanks to anyone who can stick me in the right direction

Doesn't sound normal. I'd be getting that back asap

The car is booked in for Thursday, just hoping the gear box lasts that long as it's getting worse. That's not the only problem that needs sorting. The cooling fan comes on as soon as the car is started, it has a slight smoke all the time, rubbish on fuel. Front parking sensors randomly come on and then don't work when they need to and now to top it off the parking brake warning light appears when it feels like it... 

Hello Malcolm,

Sorry to hear of your issues with this just- bought car. Judging by what you say, I would not be entrusting this to the warranty to sort out, but simply rejecting the vehicle. 
Kind regards,

Gareth. 

Yes that has already been spoke about to the dealer, they are going to go through it and then I have the option. Just a bit gutted tho, love the cosmos grey a4 black edition. If only their was another 1 for sale

Hello Malcom,

You can fall in love with a supermodel, but she may not cook your dinner - or whatever! 
Just don’t attempt to live with it. 
Sounds like someone might have laced the guts out of it?? 
Kind regards,

Gareth. 
p.s. I would be putting my intention to reject in writing, and not depending on conversations.
