    Has the tailgate always been twisted, or is it a recent change in alignment? Perhaps it is the hinges that need adjustment.
  2. cliffcoggin
    Do you have an update for us Mark?
  3. cliffcoggin
    So much for the pre-delivery inspection then.

    It's easy enough to measure wear with a cheap tread depth guage. If it shows more wear at both shoulders than at the centre line the pressure is too low, and vice versa. If the inner shoulder is worn more than the outer, the toe in is too small, and vice versa. The tracking needs to be adjusted. I suggest you get the tyres and the tracking checked.

    Ah, Torx had not occurred to me. I don't know its location though the low profile suggests somewhere with very little clearance above it.

    Is it really a threaded screw rather than a ribbed press stud? I ask because I see no slot or shape to the head by which to drive it.

    Those readings have little relevence, so you could indeed have a faulty battery. The symptoms you report are consistent with a dying battery which can not provide the stable power supply needed by the car's electronics. If it is the original eight year old battery I suggest you replace it as soon as practical, and ensure you get it coded to the car. See this for an explanation why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJAScg6JrYI

    Can you get more headroom by tilting the seats forwards?
  9. cliffcoggin
    Thanks for the update and the humour.
  10. cliffcoggin
    Don't just consider it, do it.
  11. cliffcoggin
    Thanks for belatedly letting us know.

    It might help us to help you if you told us more about the engine. Details like fuel, capacity, service history, are important to anybody trying to diagnose a fault. A more complete description of the problem is also essential.

    I doubt that reading data would be a problem; altering data would be a different matter.

    Diesel EGR coolers have a reputation for leaking coolant and blowing back to the reservoir.
  15. cliffcoggin
    You have not mentioned whether it is diesel or petrol fuelled.

    There should be no significant wear after a mere 50000 miles, so the whine indicates something is amiss. I suggest you get the car assessed by an independant VAG specialist. Don't go to an Audi dealer who will either tell you the noise is normal or try to sell you a hugely expensive new transmission.

    Was Richard's response of use to you Jax?
  18. cliffcoggin
    "Sealed for life" does not mean immune to wear. How many miles has it done?
  19. cliffcoggin
    Agreed. Any fault with a new car shoud be referred straight back to the dealer.
  20. cliffcoggin
    I would not know if it is a recognised problem, but I would be concerned about it in your place. If the water is not coming off the road surface it must be leaking from the car. Perhaps somebody more knowledgeable will chip in.
  21. cliffcoggin
    Had you been driving on a wet road just prior to parking?
  22. cliffcoggin
    You can advertise on this forum, but I doubt it has the coverage of Ebay or Autotrader etc.
  23. cliffcoggin
    In a word, yes. The battery does indeed need to be coded to the car. See this for an explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJAScg6JrYI

    If one top mount had worn out it would not surprise me if the other has gone the same way, and if that is the case I would expect the rest of the transmission and suspension components to be showing signs of wear. It's all a little odd on a car that is only seven years old.
  25. cliffcoggin
    You may well be right for all I know, but the issue at stake is who has responsibility for correcting it. Audi will undoubtedly deny responsibilty, so what are you going to do?
