I’d probably get the matter resolved first and then insist on a meeting with the dealer principal.

It’s shocking that an Audi dealer can’t find the time to address a potentially dangerous issue on a 5-week-old car. I would imagine it didn’t take them that long to take your money. Anyway, glad to hear you have a tech on the case who seems to know what he’s doing. Good luck.

It's a bug. Both my current A3 and my previous Q3 both constantly showed "Irregularities detected" and Windows "rear open" in the myAudi app. Needless to say, all doors and windows were securely closed and locked. I did post a comment to that effect in the Apple App Store but no sign of a fix.

I had an issue in January a couple of weeks after taking delivery of the same model - warning lights and limp home mode advised during a short journey. Similar story - dealer couldn't book me in for three weeks, but advised calling Audi Roadside Assistance. I did this, and a couple of hours later the technician arrived, ran diagnostics and discovered a software issue that was fixed with an update. Might be worth a call to Assistance to see if they can come out and at least diagnose the problem.

Replacing wiper blades can seem more daunting than it actually is. It might be worth trying to remove and replace the existing blade as a rehearsal before fitting a new one. Always use a towel to protect the screen.

Hi Joe

This might be more helpful:

Step-by-Step Replacement

1. Lift the Wiper Arm: Carefully pull the rear wiper arm away from the rear windshield until it is held upright by its spring tension. (Optional: Place a folded towel under the arm to protect the glass from accidental scratches.)

2. Remove the Old Blade: Rotate the wiper blade so it is perpendicular to the wiper arm. Press the locking tab (often located on the underside of the clip) or firmly slide/wiggle the blade downward toward the arm hinge to release it. Carefully pull it off the arm.

3. Attach the New Blade: Align the new blade’s mounting point with the pin or hook on the wiper arm. Push it firmly until you hear an audible "click" locking it into position.

4. Final Check: Gently lower the wiper arm back onto the rear window. Never let the metal arm snap back freely against the glass. Run a quick water test or use the washer fluid to ensure it clears smoothly.

There are some videos on YouTube which might also help.

One thing you can do is to "Delete vehicle" from the app. From the myAudi app home screen tap the name of the vehicle at the top of the page, then tap the options menu (three dots) next to the vehicle, and select "Delete vehicle".

"My car was crashed recently..."

I'm guessing OP wasn't the driver at the time of the accident, although I could be wrong.

Google. Most sources seem to agree on 5 years. 
 

Have you asked your local Audi Service Dept.?  Can’t hurt. 

• Older Guidelines: 40,000 - 60,000 miles or 5 years.
• Newer Models/Engines (e.g., 1.5 TSI): Can be significantly higher mileage (e.g., 100k+) but still with a time limit (e.g., 5 years). When in doubt, a proactive change (e.g., at 60k miles/5 years) offers peace of mind against potential engine failure, which is very costly.

Sorry to hear a reboot didn’t work.

No, it remembers the previous setting. One option might be to reset the Virtual Cockpit. I Googled and found this:

1. Locate the power button: Find the power button on your MMI control unit.
2. Press and hold: Press and hold the power button until the screen goes black and reboots. 

In the left hand circular virtual cockpit display I have the fuel gauge readout. In the centre display I usually select the Short-term or Long-term consumption data.  If the display is switching randomly to date and time, I wonder if it could be an issue with the steering wheel left hand rotary switch? 

My A3 is only a couple of weeks old and I can’t find it either. Coolant temperature was there on my previous Q3, but Audi seems to have removed it for some reason (along with the S tronic gear display when in auto mode). Overall, the display seems to have been simplified with fewer display options.

I get an occasional warning in the app that the windows aren’t closed when they patently are. Usually closing down the app and reopening again changes the Status to “Everything OK”.  myAudi app on iPhone.

Hello - I’m brand new to the forum. Picked up a new A3 S-Line this week to replace my old Q3. Suggestion for getting the 1st service done by the dealer and then later ones by an independent sounds sensible - I was going to go independent all the way but I’ll follow advice. Regarding Audi paint codes, this site might help to confirm OP’s paint via reg. number.
