Hello everyone. I just bought myself a 2017 A4 Avant S-Line 3.0 V6. My first Audi (having had Skoda/Mercedes/BMW in the past and having been active on the relevant forums there).

I am absolutely over the moon with it, it's an amazing car inside and out.

Couple of questions that I can't find the answers to in the manual (yes I'm one of those weirdos who reads it from cover to cover):
1 - How do I get Radio Text to display on the screen? At the moment it's a big empty space with "BBC Radio 2" and the logo with nothing else. I have "Detailed station information" ticked in the settings, and if I press the right function button and select "Radio Text" I can see it there, but I'm used to seeing song title and artist or programme information under the station name. There is a picture of this in the manual.
2 - The keyless entry doesn't seem to work how I was expecting. The touch sensors on both front doors do absolutely nothing. The sensors on the rear doors sometimes lock and unlock, but most times just cause the locks to make a small noise, but not actually unlock or lock the car.

Anyway, just off out to let the wife drive it for the first time. Wish me luck!

Oh, also:
3 - The rear washer doesn't seem to work. The pump runs but nothing comes out. Is this a common problem?

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂  

The washer could be the pipe has come loose. 

I'm not too sure about the radio. 

If there's an issue with the keyless system I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up 

Thanks Steve.
I'm wondering if the rear washer issue is the same as my daughter had on her Merc A180 where the intake got bunged up with congealed screen wash snot. I'll wait until it's empty then put a kettle of boiling water in the tank. If that doesn't help I'll take it apart. I was assuming that if a pipe had come loose it would eventually cause a little puddle under the car somewhere, but I'm not seeing it.
I got 6 months warranty with it, so hopefully they can take a look if I can't fix it.

Che k your wheel well for water as it might leak into there. 

Thought I would drop in and update. The rear screenwash is the plastic nozzle attached to the motor that has failed. Evidently somebody knew because the pipe was disconnected and blocked off. Bit annoying as the motor itself is fine, but the whole thing needs replacing. Warranty company have agreed to meet me half way. Very annoying as I could easily have 3D printed a new nozzle out ABS, but it's done now.

I haven't solved the Radio Text thing yet.

When the weather improves I'm going to try swapping the keyless entry sensors from handle to handle to see if that's the problem.

Thanks for the update. I am sure this will benefit someone in the future 🙂

Didn't the warranty people try to fob you off?
EG something like "well, you reported the fault right after you bought the car, therefore it has already been there when you bought it"...

I left dealing with the warranty company to my garage. It's owned by a friend so I trust them. I was cc'd into all emails though, and the warranty company initially offered £153 towards the replacement. The garage pushed back and they settled on 50/50.

Glad you got a resolution even if it wasn't fully ideal.
