Default Regarding Parking Sensor problems...

Just having the front and rear skirts from the off road package added to my car and dealer is looking at my unreliable parking sensors. The new panels come with new sensors nicely. The old ones had peeling paint (that I didn't notice, embarrassingly). That was causing their unreliability. Watch out for stone chips (here in Ireland all roads are like gravel tracks)

Gone to a different dealer this time where the car has remained for 2 days. The wobbly second row seat back is causing difficulty. My previous dealer, I think, pretended to fix the sensors with a lick of paint which was done badly enough to flake so the beeping returned. I won't be buying another 'beeping' car from them. The current dealer is way less busy so getting better treatment. The other one used to be good. I'm having about 5 different problems sorted though. Are Audi loosing it?

Audi isn't, it's the stupid dealers.

You're probably right but the number of common issues that are occurring with my car are a bit irritating. Hopefully, Audi ag employ someone just to read this forum. There are definitely a few quality issues but i suppose there are about 5 million components per car
