AC Problems

Overall, I absolutely love my Audi. The back seat is a little tight with an infant car seat (Chicco Keyfit). I have to slide the front passenger seat up to fit it in the car seat base. It’s SUPER compact but definitely ideal for someone without kids or someone that doesn’t take a lot of family vacations. It’s not really my ideal SUV for a road trip - too crammed for multiple passengers. I bought this car in November 2021 with 45k miles. At the end of August 2022 I started hearing a ticking/knocking coming from the front end. Long story short - my AC compressor went out and it’s about $2,500 to fix. In the year I’ve had it, I’ve put the average yearly miles on it (15k miles) and have gotten it maintenanced as it’s suppose to be. I’m getting rid of it before anything else major can go wrong!

wish the center console was a little more interactive, but for a 2018 I can't complin much. The turbo engine gives it a great kick and it's such a smooth ride. I absolutely love the panoramic sunroof and the color is simply beautiful.

Q3 petrol emissions problems

Had the car two years from new . Love it never had a problem until 3 months ago the engine management light came on. It has now had three visits to the main dealer for the same warning light. They have now had the car three weeks and have admitted they have no idea what is wrong. It's a TFSI s line petrol done 13k miles.
