Picked up my new A4 two weeks ago, and I'm feeling light/moderate steady vibrations through steering wheel, gas pedal and seats at highway cruising speeds. Really annoying. The car has 450 miles on it, FYI. BTW, I also do feel a very, very slight (but certain) pull to left, could be related..

I'm driving the 3.2L A4 with the all season Continental ContiContactPro (or whatever the name is...). I'm coming off a 2000 S4, so maybe I'm just not used to this puppy yet...

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Also the slight pull to the left seems indicative of some sort of alignment/balance problem.

I have 5500 miles on my 3.2 A4 with the same tires as you and it has never pulled or vibrated.

Two weeks ago I drove a rented Ford Expedition from Denver to Delaware and it had a tire balance problem -- once I got over 65 mph it would shake pretty bad. It was brutal for the 27 hour trip.

There a thread on this I started (see P.6 about halfway down). I had the car to the dealer but they say it is normal. In my case the vibration is very minor and at this point seems it may be related to tire pressue and road surface. I've got the Conti-Pro's too (235/45x17 94H) - TireRack gives them a good test result. In my case I feel it may not really be a tire issue. Maybe it is related to the vibration I feel in D when stopped - dealer said the engine mounts on the B7 are very hard and will require a lot of break-in before they soften up. In the meantine they transmit engine vibration to the wheel, brakes, seats. I have a thread on this near the top of page 6. I now have 950 miles and maybe the vibration issue is slowing reducing - not sure, maybe I'm just getting used to it.

My girlfriend just picked up her A4, and when the car is in idle and in drive, I feel a vibration through the seats. She tells me, however, that she can't feel it through the steering wheel. This vibration goes away when the car is in neutral or park. In any case, most of my cars of late have been manual transmission, so I don't know if this is normal or not. It's a minor rumble through the seats that's just annoying.

Anyway, I just wanted to know if this was normal, i.e., if all the other 2.0Ts exhibit a similar vibration when in idle and in drive.

Every B7 I test drove was dead smooth at idle through the steering wheel (expecially compared to the 1.8T B6)

I noticed a very slight vibration at high speed, found that one of the tires was at an off-pressure.

I don't know if its normal, but my car does the same thing?
