Actually buddy was really cool and that was the last car they had available. I got there 30 mins before they closed.

told me that next time I should get there when they open and he'll let me pick which ever one I want. A8, A7, Q7 and then I told him "what about an R8?" 😂😂 he couldn't stop laughing 😋

UPDATE**

Finally got the car back after 3 long weeks.

They swapped out the entire exhaust system.

Found out rotors were warped and they resurfaced them

And they replaced a hose that was connected to the AC because of a recall?

The car only has 15k miles. I'm glad these issues were fixed but still find it odd that the rotors went out that fast.

All the labor and parts came out to a grand total of $0.00

Thanks and I am happy that I didn't pay a dime but it does concern me a little that a car that's pretty much new has issues already.

Its just that I'm coming from the Lexus family and this is my first Audi. I racked up 100k miles in 4 years on my ES 350 2015 and all I had to do was change the oil, tires and battery. Nothing else.

Noise is coming back

Not as loud as before but I can definitely hear it while standing outside and in front of the car.

Is it worth another trip to the dealer?


But, to be honest, when I had the Q5 loaner it would make the same sound. Now, I'm just confused

i would. I would go in and take it out for a drive with the mechanic and ask him what the noise is. If it’s got you bugged, and it looks like it has, it’s going to bother you until you find out what it is. No sense in letting that happen. Get it resolved so you can enjoy the car. Remember, Audi prides itself on customer service and I think you should take advantage of it.

Your right. I have about 2k more miles before I need an oil change, so I'll pass by within the next few weeks.

Strange thing is that they told me it was an exhaust leak. So, they took the pipes out and put new ones.
Sound went away and now it's coming back 🤔🤔

when I was driving the 2019 Q5 loaner that only had 2,300 miles on the ODO, it made the same sound like in the video.

I just uploaded a new video of the sound it makes after they "fixed" the issue
