The state of British roads may be contributing to the problem as it has to premature suspension component wear. maybe the suspension is TOO adaptive and causing geometry changes to excess. Whatever the factors are, the reporting system in place at centres will be helping Audi to investigate and rectify. At least they have put in place a scheme to contribute to costs in the meantime. I can feel a software update to adaptive suspension coming on! If you can't hang on in there then move on,(I've heard Fiat Pandas are good) but if it gives some comfort banging on about it on a forum then so be it.
When people rant at centre staff all it does is give a negative effect towards that customer throughout the departments, it's human nature.
As for A2, yes I love em ;-)
And SUV's...........YUK!... I hate (all of them)

They
are good. Very good. But I have one of each and many others besides. My Audi dealer didn't want to know and I had to pay them for the geometry check and realignment and a set of tyres at 9000 miles. Since they knew of the problem and were probably paid twice for the job [by myself and Audi] I can only conclude that they were taking the p. Will they give me my money back for the car so I can move on? I bet not.
Don't want to anyway. All I want is a reasonable tyre life. I don't expect it to match the 35,000 miles I always get from the Toyota and Range Rover. I would be quite happy with 20,000 miles for a set of four. I'm quite easily pleased.
