Took car in for 25k service...

[audi021]

I bought my car cpo about 4,000 miles ago. Took care in for 25k service. I got a chance to review service history of the car.

Seems the following happened....

Front door seals replaced 2 times
Start/stop button replaced
Radiator replaced after first service

Any concerns with this stuff, or is this normal ?

Side note - I have an a6 loaner. The car is a dog. Seriously feels like the slowest car on the planet. Love the interior of the s6, but really not feeling the a6. New mmi is cool, but not worth the upgrade IMO

1.Front door seals replaced 2 times
2.Start/stop button replaced
3.Radiator replaced after first service



1. No idea
2. The sticker peels off, so that might be the reason
3. Debris can puncture the intercooler. Well document occurrence. Search the forum.

Doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Not sure what was going on with the door seals . I would ask them what the problem was.

Door seals normal
We did a bunch on B8 A4's and S4's

what causes door seals to need replacement, wind noise?

Maybe someone tore them or something weird? Perhaps there was some wind noise or a slight water leak.

Either way, none of that stuff is huge. I suspect the radiator got punctured.

In that situation, wonder if you could have asked for the new 2014 style red-ring start/stop button? (if it was out when it happened)

A6 2.0T?

Door seals were a factory defect. Tech told me the adhesive wasn't applied evenly during the process. My driver door came off on the bottom and if I wasn't careful I would close it in the door, repair took a couple hours to allow the new adhesive to set up.

None of that sounds too bad.
Related note, I had my S4 in for service over the weekend and they gave me a 2013 A6 loaner with the 3.0 liter supercharged engine. Had MMI w/nav, drive select (steering, suspension and seat belt tensioners (?)), and driver assist package. At first I thought the car was terrible, but after spending all weekend and putting ~200 miles on it, I really like it! In sport mode the engine really performs well and the car hauls ass. Upshifts were very quick. Felt faster than my S4! The best part is that the car computer was showing 29.x mpg by the end of my 2.5 hour drive home, which was mostly highway 70-80 mph with the air conditioning running. That's on par or slightly better than my S4. I'm guessing it's due to having an extra gear in the trans to keep the cruising engine speed lower.

Anyway, I digress.

It's the small motor. It's a tird.

Makes sense on everyone else's comments. I also asked them to fix the vibration in my steering at 55. They think it is a suspension issue, but that doesn't seem right to me.. I wonder if the wheels are out of balance etc.

Anyone have this problem? Slight vibration in steering at 60mph?
