Default Re: Got a call from Audi, Dinan, take them up on there offer and get the replacement car

If they are worried, I would be too. I feel for you and the wait that may take place...but they (Audi) must be really dumbfounded if they want to take the car back for analysis at the plant.
Whst other options do you want for your trouble, time and pain? Go for a PhatNoise System...they'll throw it in...take my word!

Default no complaints except now I'm worried about the 2nd to 3rd gear shift (which is hardly noticeable),

but I don't know if I should take it in sooner rather than later. The seat ventilation doesn't seem to be working properly either. My wife has a Saab 9-5 and you can actually feel the air cooling your tookis and back even on its lowest fan setting. I turn the A8 up to level 6 (highest) and I can feel anything, although I can hear the fan. Hmmmmmm?

Default Seat ventilation

I wonder if there is any connection between the A/C setting that Dinan5 had to have adjusted and the weak performance of the vent seats...any connection, or are these completely separate beasts?
