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). After teardown, dealer found the DMF and the clutch to have "hot spots." DMF had what I thought to be excessive wear, but dealer said it was within normal wear. Dealer replaced the DMF under warranty and I covered the clutch pack parts.

Steering developed, what I call, stay points. Left of right of center, the steering wheel was heavier than normal, then would hit a "stay point" where if I let go the wheel it would hold the steering angle on its own. It would require a good deal of effort to move the wheel out of the "stay point." Was a sketchy drive to the dealer to drop it off. Dealer replaced, under CPO warranty, the "INTERMEDIATE SHAFT - AUDI (8K1-419-753-H)."

Started hearing a grinding noise when starting the car with the driver's door open. The sound was more pronounced when turning a cold engine vs a hot engine. 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

Took 15 minutes including watching the video twice.

Passenger-side sun visor retention clip broke when returning the visor to the front position. Dealer explained that this is common with Audi’s in hot climates (mine was a CPO purchased in Las Vegas). Easy dealer fix (replaced part) at no cost to me despite the $100 deductible that would normally apply to the CPO extended warranty.
