Recently Purchased A6 - Wind Noise
#41
Thought I'd give you all an update here. As said above, I experienced noise on the drivers side on my 2014 model at high speed, like the window is not closed thoroughly.
I brought the car back to the dealer, and they could not find anything 'out of the ordinary'. They recognize however a noise.
A new appointment was made as a representative from the importer wanted to test drive.
The verdict was: This is 'normal', and is caused by the shape/design of the body. Apperently I was expecting to much ?
The dealer told me that I was not the only one who complained. They already had two customers who had put in the double glas option in the workshop.
So, in case you wonder why that is an option you can order, here is the answer.....
As for the rest, the car is doing not so bad. But the steering is to American for my taste. On the highway, the car seems not to want to go straight, but as that is off topic, i will leave it at that.

Took delivery of a new 2015 A6 last week; drove it today on the highway and have a persistent wind noise as if the windows are every so slightly cracked when traveling above 65 mph. It seems to be both sides of the car, but I notice the driver's side much more so (obviously). So, the problem still exists, will take car into dealership next week.

I bought a beautiful Dakota Gray Prestige A6 on Saturday.
I have noticed a faint air whistle, on the drivers side. It is high pitched, and definitely sounds like air turbulence.
I can only here when radio is low or off, but definitely audible, especially between 75-80mph. Sounds like my wife's SUV when we have the ski rack on it.
Going to call the dealer tomorrow, but am eager to hear thoughts/considerations on what this could be.
I also sat on passenger side while wife drove and there was noise on that side.
Thanks.
