| Jul 20187000 miUS $240 | Bluetooth issues and the unit would "forget" the XM radio presets very frequently. They said they confirmed the problem and updated the software on the unit to the latest rev. I have not used it enough to comfortably tell you if it's truly fixed, but I have not yet re-experienced the problem. The big problem with these units (as you probably know) is that they really can't be updated to major new versions of Bluetooth, only minor versions (e.g. 1.4.1 to 1.4.5). Changing major versions (e.g. moving from 2.x - 4.x) generally requires new hardware. Convertible top button had begun peeling (the surface layer). Replaced under warranty. Replace fuel pump wiring harness due to rodent damage (chewing) which was discovered during the routine 3 year / 25k maintenance. | ||

| Mar 201762000 miUS $854 | Car had a "judder" during normal acceleration from 1st gear. Judder would get worse as car warmed up. Dealers initial prognosis was the dual mass flywheel (DMF).

Dealer said the starter was starting to fail, replaced under CPO warranty. Check engine light came on. OBDII reader showed code P0171 - System too lean (bank 1). Took it to the dealer, they replaced Oil Deflector - Audi (06H-103-495-AK). When I went to pick it up, the engine light was still on. Turned out the replacement part was also bad. Installed another identical part and error cleared | ||
