Car is at the dealership for 5K service but here's what they're also looking at:
- Backup camera fails intermittently (https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2795754) - Was in before but they couldn't find anything. This time, there's apparently a loose wiring harness that they're fixing.
- Driver side window issue (https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2798597) - It's not doing it at the moment but they're trying to see if they can resolve this for me...
- "Supercharged" badge falling off - since it was factory-installed, they're getting a replacement and swapping it out under warranty.
Also had some brake squeal early on which went away after bedding.
Can't wait to get my car back... but the 2009 A4 loaner that I'm driving has memory seats and it doesn't even have NAV... why didn't Audi put memory seats on the S4 P+??

Seem to be a bunch of people reporting rear differential leaks last year. .
Hi all, hanging around this forum and others i have noticed quite a few problems on the 2010 build, ie.
1. Water pump (since fixed as i see)
2. Clutch creaking
3. Rattles
4. Brake squeal
Wanted to find out from the people with the 2011s if they have similar issues or has Audi ironed them out with the 2011s?
Thanks in advance.

I have a 2011 S4
1. Water pump, Not a problem, came with the new one
2. DSG has no problem with Clutch creaking
3. Rattles was a simple fix, re-seat Fuse cover & Dynamat driver door pockets
4. Brake squeal has never occured on my car 2011 S4.
I did have a thermostat recall.

I had my 2011 S4 in for brake service on 4 occasions within the first 8 month of purchase. On my the 5th visit I was informed by the dealer (Chandler Audi) that Audi had a recall on the front brakes and had issued a new specification for the system.
New rotors and pads were installed and appeared to be a little larger in physical size however after 2 months I have the same squealing issue. Furthermore I informed my business partner of this “Recall” since he has the same issue only worse on his 2010 S4. He contacted his dealership (Scottsdale Audi) and was informed that they had no knowledge of this recall notice.
I got out of 5 series BWM and into my first Audi and question my decision. I love the car but hate the issues I have experienced which are not limited to brakes but yet also include an occasional transmission issue whereas it does not shift automatically nor can I manually shift it with the paddles.
Great German Engineering!
