Default Question regarding the 3.2 DSG

So Ive had this engine/transmission for a month now and I finally took it into the dealer for oil and a couple sounds ive been hearing. First sound is a rattle coming behind the dash at idle. They say it is part of the AC motor (even though the AC is off?).

Second sound is a rattle, imagine putting sand in a can and turning it. It comes from the engine between approx 3,500 and 4000 RPMS when you lightly press on the gas. sonds like something is grinding almost at a very high speed...

Dealer said this is normal for this engine (never heard it on my 180)

IS THIS NORMAL?

Default You know what is funny...

I have always taken my Audis to one dealer (Miramar Audi) NEVER had any problems, free loaners and everything... I moved 30 miles north of the dealer, still took it down there (about 7 miles from my office). EVERYONE complains about this dealer's service, says it is the worst in the country blah blah blah. So I get my 3.2 and decide to take it to the dealer that EVERYONE recommends, says they have the best service... and its 5 miles from my house, on my way to work. Drop the car off, pay for my POS loaner...that even has the oil light and maintenance req'd light come on after a mile...

Ill be my car comes back washed too when I asked for it not to be : )

So, i find it funny that you said take it to another dealer.
