Ethan. Your frequent refilling and short journey make me confidant there has been no damage. No guarantees of course, but I would not be concerned if it was my car.

2000 rpm seems high for changing up, but that depends on how heavy your right foot is, and whether you use S or D mode. It would be as well to have it independently tested before the 30 day option to return it to the dealer expires.

This is the bushing pair for a 2016 A6 TDI

There is something else you need to look at. In Canada, corrosion is a severe issue, and putting a non-sieze compound on the wheel hub and disc face is standard good practice. However, the aluminum of the caliper corrodes around the bushings that the pins slide on, causing restriction to movement, so that the brake caliper does not move freely. This can cause you to chase an issue with the disc, and not find the solution. There are 2 bushings, you can knock them out, clean the caliper holes with a round wire brush, and install new bushings with lots of silicone grease. There is a soft bushing and a harder one, make sure you note which goes where.

I definitely think you need to be asking the importer to contact VW Japan as they clearly can communicate in the language. If you owned it less than 30 days you can return it for a full refund

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

Also check wires within the flexible harness twixt tailgate and body. Favourite place for fractured wires due to opening/closing tailgate over the years.

Were the comments above of any use to you Tony?
