Hello Me too - A1, 2017, ‘that’ software version. I know practically nothing about these things. Like others, I spent time wondering what I’d done, realising I could get BBC, but, so… huh? Then googled and found this thread. Thank you. I signed up at least to stand alongside and stay abreast of this. It’s absurd. There must be, what, tens of thousands of us; what percentage of Audi’s customers has been impacted? Before even considering legalities, on reputational grounds surely they can’t just shrug. Thank you to those making representations to Audi: I look forward to hearing their response. If, down the line, folk think mass lobbying is needed, I’ll join in.

i agree tilly, instead they are playing dumb stating they are not aware of any issues which is clearly a lie as they have been inundated with calls and emails from thousands of people experiencing the same issue, still taking money off people for diagnostic checks knowing fine well what the problem actually is. They should be truthful with their customers and not trying to get money out of them by stating they would need to run a diagnostics check which is £150+vat absolute disgrace

The other issue is, will it affect the resale value of the affected cars ?

I think if we choose one of the posts and all upvote it and comment? can you link it here please.

Has anyone made a post on the Audi sub Reddit. That could be worth a shout and linking this forum post. Pretty sure Audi reps will monitor that page. 285k members https://www.reddit.com/r/Audi

I spoke to Audi earlier- got nowhere! I'm to reach out to thier Press office - this often works faster to get answers and esclate to the right person(s). I'll keep you posted when I hear back.

I've called Audi Tyneside again today. (Lookers is the dealership, based in Glasgow). They still maintain they have heard nothing of this issue, bounced me between teams then eventually to Glasgow HQ who were similarly blank n stonewalling.... I then called Audi UK back with the case reference i had. Their latest suggestion was to try rescanning for goodness sake.... I sent them an email last night with the details they had requested when I logged the case earlier this week and I've yet to hear anything anywhere near authoritative from them. I did explain this would only get worse and more public the more people realised they had this issue, so getting ahead of it (probably too late for that) would be in their best interests. Their number is 0800 699 888 should anyone want to pile on the pressure!

Hi, Just an update on this, having been backward and forward with the supplying dealer to no avail, I got the car booked into a local German car specialist (that helpfully is only 5 minutes walk from my new job) They did a thorough health check on the car and found the driver side top mount was worn, and also the Battery was at 24% (is the original battery and now 7 years old) - both jobs have been done and there seems to be no knocking now....

Thanks for the update Sean, glad the advice was useful 🙂 hope your 80 provides you lots of happy miles

Ethical my backside......It seems to me Audi are already aware, but at the moment are dodging the questions. All they need to do is put out a statement saying they are aware of the issue, and will update owners once a fix, or not is found.

Well done, Mark. Great work.

From this thread, the vast list of cars impacted is below, so I think it's fair to say it's not a car issue. 2015 A6 2015 A6 Avant Hardware H61 RMC_EU_P16342 - Upgraded from RMC_EU_P14321 2015 Q3 RMC_EU_P14321 2015 S1 RMC_EU_P14321 2016 A1 Hardware H61 RMC_EU_P16342 - Upgraded from RMC_EU_P1432B 2016 A6 2016 A6 Avant 2016 A6 SE 2016 Q3 2017 A1 2017 A6 2017 A6 Avant 2017 Q3 RMC_EU_P16342 2017 S1 2018 A1 RMC_EU_P16342 2018 A6 2018 A6 Avant RMC_EU_P16342 2018 Q3 I'll share this info with Audi UK against the case I raised yesterday - Case: 0003534313 A few others have looked into the Hardware issue, and H61 appears to be a stumbling block. Add to that the owner manuals advise DAB+ is supported, it's not great. I'll report back with what they come back with.
