AUDI A4 1.4 TFSI 2018

[Motornumber52]

Hi - I purchased an Audi A4 1.4 TFSI 2018 3 weeks ago and I have noticed that there is a slight vibration in the steering wheel, it is in the bottom half of the steering wheel especially. I notice that the vibration is more prominent at lower speeds - say up to 45 mph. When test driving the car I did not notice this and I took the car to get the front wheels balanced to see if this would rectify the problem however it is the same so I do not think this is the problem. I am very aware of the vibration however minimal it may be as my old car did not have this at all. What might be causing this or is this normal for the car to have a slight vibration in the steering wheel? (I have also noticed a slight vibration in the accelerator pedal at times also)

Welcome Sean,

Same branded tyres on each side of the same axle? Tyre brands  out of interest. 
Checked tyre pressures against sticker inside fuel filler flap? 
Checked engine and gearbox mountings?

Any vibration felt through brake pedal when braking?

Bought from dealer? 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Hi Gareth - Thanks for getting back to me. 

To answer your questions:

1. No they are not the same brand of tyres - one is Sailfish, one is Nereus (same brand group), one Bridgeston, and Potenza.

2. Yes, the tyre pressure seems to match the recommended on all four tyres.

3. No - I have not yet, I will check this tomorrow.

4. No - There is no vibration felt when braking.

5. Yes - bought through a dealer, I also have 6 months warranty but I am not sure to what extent they cover. I was thinking of bringing the problem to them but I was looking to know firstly what might be the problem so they don't try to fob me off!

Thanks for your help!
