I've stopped using the cars system, I just use Andriod Auto. But car going back into the garage for service so fingers crossed there will be another update this year. Just wanted to put the question out there to see if anyone else had similar issues. Thank you all.

Car has done 40k miles now, rear got done last year and I am not heavy on the breaks nor drive fast either. Been told that the front brakes are made of a special material and also not standard brakes, the 50tdi has the same up-rated brakes are the S6 brakes supposedly. Either way, £1600 including parts and labour seem quite expensive. Other garages have quoted £600 but what I am worried is they will put on inferior brakes as when it comes to cars, unfortunately not very knowledgeable. Thanks to all for your comments/contribution.

Had the car into local dealership (Central Scotland) for MOT/Servicing last year and was told need new rear brake pads and discs. Cost was £500. Was told that I was lucky because the front set of brake pads and discs costs substantially more - £1600! Anyone with this car had theirs done at dealership and can share how much they paid? I've been driving for over 20 years and never in my life have I paid over £2k for brakes! Thanks Martin

After the car went into the dealership last time for service and updates, the Speech Dialogue button no longer works. The circle will spin but nothing happens and the MMI eventually crashes and needs to restart the whole system by holding the volume button in for 10 seconds. Because of this, you can't ask it to redial, navigate or change temperature etc anymore. Even the Map crashes if you've been driving for an hour upwards. The latest map updates also won't/can't install. Have anyone had similar issues? Thanks in advance

The latest MMI Update made it so that you could no longer use your mobile phone data for music and tethering of the in car wi-fi and must purchase one of those extortionate data plans. The Amazon Alexa that you guys have, was it an option you guys picked during build as I've asked my dealers about it and nobody seems to know anything. Thanks

@Jenna lol....newest fishing essential! Totally agree that these must be the best LEDs on the market. It still needs getting used to when the Matrix LED flickers abouts to avoid dazzling oncoming cars or lighting up the road ahead but yeah brilliant lights! Aye, the fan just seems to be coming on all the time lately....just wondering if it'll deteriorate the battery in the long term as it does blow for a good 15 mins each time.

I managed to get the software updated by my local Audi dealership after emailing the service department the TPI number I got from this thread. Since, the car defo runs better but do agree with @Wooks63 that there is room for improvement but due to covid-19 still not back out in the car nearly half as much as before. However I don't know if its just me or after the software update, most times when I switch off the car...the fan continues to blow for about 15 minutes before switching off itself. At present, I could maybe make 3-4 short trips per day and after each time i switch off the car, i notice the fan hurling away as if it's trying to cool the car down or perhaps 'self clean the dpf'. It's not like during these short trips I'm thrashing/booting the car and putting it under load. I did manage to take it for a longer run (40 mins this evening) doing a mixture of rural and urban roads and when i switched it off after that, not a peep. Anyone else got similiar problems? Is it normal? #MyFirstDieselCar Thanks in advance.

I'm sure i saw videos on YouTube where the lag issue was mentioned in the reviews for this car. Will try and find it again and post here. In terms of organisations, I'm sure if you start tweeting on Twitter tagging the likes of Top Gear, What Car etc...it would get some attention. Get members on here to retweet too otherwise they just ignore you like how VW Finance has done when i asked them about the Summer 20% off Service Plans.

Thanks @Jinxit. VW Finance never got back to me so i asked emailed the service manager at my local Audi. He's one holiday but when he gets back the promotion will have defo ended. The irony is i got an email reminder from them saying my car was due it's service when it's not. Have you had an luck with your dealer since?

Audi recently advertised a summer 20% off service plans and was advertised till 31st July 2020. Was meant to buy it but had other priorities then knowing it was ending at the end of the month I still had time. However, the promotion was pulled last week already. I tweet Audi and they just said to contact Volkswagen Finance Services but nobody has gotten back to me....Pretty poor or false advertising especially from a big company if you ask me. Just wondering if you guys know if this was a one off or do they do these offers all the time/annually? Thanks in advance.

@Jasona95jay Hey Jason, Just wondering if you have any luck turning off the Pre-Sense? Like you, it's the most annoying feature ever! It's literally ruins the car.

Hey @Wooks63, Any luck on getting the sim card working? Is the sim card slot just the one next to the SD card slots? Reason why I ask is, I've now had the latest MMI update installed on the car along with the ECU updates. Prior to the MMI update, when the kids sat in the car, they connected to the car's wi-fi and whatever data they used came off my mobile phone (as I have an unlimited plan) but now after the MMI has been updated, each time any one connects to the cars wi-fi, the first page it loads up is: cubictelecom.com, asking my to log in or buy a data plan. It seems like daylight robbery - 60Gb for £100 and 365 days to use it in. I don't know if the latest update is topping people from using their mobile phone data now and kinda pressuring you to buy from their associate vendor. If you did get it to work, is it purely just a data plan sim card you got and if you have any recommendations to which network. Thanks

Any one else noticed this? The permanent temperature guage on the left does not match that of the one displayed inside the virtual cockpit? You'd think both are read using the same thermometer right? Now that I've noticed it, I've checked it over the space of the week and seems to be always the case.

Finally got confirmation from Audi UK that the Amazon Alexa only works on Audi A6 C8 MY20...assuming it means manufactured from 2020 onwards. Quite annoyed annoyed/disappointed about this as mine is a 2019 first release but anyhow still the current A6 (C8) model. Would have thought it would be a simple case of software/ firmware update but nit the case as my car only went in last week and got the latest MMI updates.

@Jenna @Wooks63 Got car back today after they replaced the NOx sensor under warranty. They also updated the firmware for the engine ECU and what a difference it's made. Seems to be pulling away much better and with smoother gear changes too. They also updated the MMI software and now i have an extra icon displayed next to the user profile icon. Looks like a shield with a location pin on it. Any ideas what this is? Still haven't been able to get Amazon Alexa to work in it. The guy at the service desk asked two sales advisors but they too had no idea either. Thanks
