    Locking issue

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Bought 2017 premium Quattro A4 at the end of May 2016. For the last month, it has randomly about 5 or 6 times has locking issues. It will attempt to try and lock once reaching 10mph and then attempt to lock once I'm under 10mph. During this time the red lock button is not lit. This has only happened about 5 or 6 times and can start when I first get in the car or randomly while driving. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I've had this. I had to stop, open the door and close it again, then it locks properly.

    Double check that the doors are locked properly. Sometimes due to the cold weather the mechanism gets stiff due to the petroleum based lubricant. Audi usually uses a thick gel which turns to shit in cold weather. If you have WD-40 or even have a silicon spray use that on the closing mechanism. Close the door, Lock and unlock a few times and you'll be good to go.

    It definitely isn't due to cold weather. I live in Texas where we are still having highs in the 80s

    Oh damn, Thats no bueno. Check on the boards to see if anyone has vagcom around the area. See if there are any faults stored in the locking system. Sorry you're going through this
