1. wiring short between water temp sensor and gage.
2. mass air flow sensors replaced (may have been misdiagnosed -- see 3).

Sometimes the unlock button won't unlock my doors. Since I took delivery in late August, this has happened three times. Two tugs on the door handle still get me out, but it odd how the button doesn't respond sometimes. I've also gotten two 5th to 4th gear "clunks" that were loud enough for my wife to say, "What the heck was that?!" and enough for me to be happy that I wasn't wear white underwear each time. Oh yeah, and another time my side mirrors wouldn't fold. Twirling the knob several times seems to have "fixed" the problem.

Can you please elaborate on #3. I had several incidents where the car was still cold and I accelerated hard and no turbos spooled and car felt like a 4 Cylinder car up to about 5500RPM and the gear would not shift....I then let go of the gas and gear shifted, I puched it again and then the turbos came alive.Originally posted by GoFastKindaGuy

I was told this was a boost leak.
So far the only thing i took my Beast in for (besides his first 5K service) was for some squeaky brakes. They would get louder the harder you worked them (but never came close to quitting ). The noise seems to be fixed now.Originally posted by TaTaPiRaTa

I'll post more on the misfire once the problem is successfully resolved. For now, I can only relate the symptoms -- misfire on hard accelleration and hesitation, stalling and running on 5 or 6 cylinders for 10 seconds or so when cold.

No problems at all, except a sweak once and a while from the breaks but nothing that bothers me.

RS6 Avant Daytona Grey - MTM stage 2 - 508HP/700Nm
2500 miles and no problems. The only thing that I notice is under full acceleration to 160 M.P.H., that in 3 gear and up I can feel the Boost increase and then decrease. It can really be felt after a shift. It takes 3 or 4 seconds for the boost to come on hard and then it seems like it backs off again, then on again. I think this might have something to do with the High Alitude of 7500 feet. Comments?????
160? I guess i'm not the only one who drive's over 75 As for the boost cut off i do remember the press release stating that the boost would be dialed back the higher alttitude you go. Perhaps this is the cause. What did your dealer tell you?Originally posted by MileHighRS6

They said they would look into it and get back to me.
I have a coolant leak into the heater core...besides that 5000 trouble free miles.
On another note, what kind of car do you guys get from your dealer when it is in for service? Mine is renting me a taurus from Enterprise, and it kind of bugs me....

(responding to initial post)
1. Remote/locks reprogrammed
2. Inspect factory paint flaw on hood, get AoA OK to proceed under warranty
3. Take to body shop for estimate on #2
4. Take to body shop for work
5. Pick up from body shop
6. Inspect radiator leak (small, top of driver's side) -- new radiator arrived in 2 days, will put in next week.
Six visits but only three issues; i.e. the paint blemish required four of the visits to dealer & body shop. The locks are a chronic Audi issue, so the only thing mechanical that's unexpected is the radiator problem. Coolant tank levels are OK; the leak was so small I didn't notice it until a couple of guys at the Belle Isle (Detroit) VW/Audi meet pointed it out last weekend. Thank you, Motor City enthusiasts! (BTW I was greeted there like royalty, almost -- it was quite an experience!)
I got a loaner A6.Originally posted by jconley
