well...on the east coast its been dropping into the 40's and i noticed some issues with the car.

firstly, i have a very annoying buzz coming from the power steering that i got fixed at 1500 miles (just needed more fluid)..now its back with a vengence at 2200 and its not stopping even when the car warms up.

also...when the car is cold, shifting out of gears is very sticky and shifting into gears is very rough (particularly 3rd gear)

going in for my 3k service early because i even got my low oil light on....so well see what the tech says about the problems

RI A6

Otherwise, no other issue, yet.

I think those issues are specific w/ your car

same here. Also sometimes reverse. The coldest she has ever been in was about 40.

It's not that cold here on the west coast, currently upper 50s in the mornings.

One time as I was leaving the house and the engine was cold, I revved 2nd gear to about 6000 and then the engine suddenly cut back to about 4500 as if it hit the rev limiter.

I thought that was pretty strange but apparently the tach was wrong about the RPMs. I haven't noticed this problem after the engine has warmed up.

But I feel bad to hear about the problems you are experiencing with your car. No one should have to deal with those kinds of issues with a brand new car that is so sweet in all other ways.

How has your Audi service experience been since these problems started happening? Are they helpful and treat you with the respect that you deserve for buying such an expensive (sweet) car?

What RI RS4 said, once it warms up its been fine for me..

Why are you reving the engine to 6k when is cold?

ELEVENS

2nd. You're killing that car spinning 6K cold - cold running is 99% of the wear.

who said i was revving it that high?...i didnt...i barely rev till 4k until the car warms up

seems as though the only real problem (that isnt solved when the car warms up) is the buzzing from the steering....will find out what that is

thanks for the replys

It was me who revved to 6 when the engine was cold. Yeah ok so I just wanted to see engine cold performance. I was like let me just step on the throttle just a little bit, I won't go all the way, I promise. "Let's just see what it feels like."

hehe
