Constantly Blown Headlight Bulbs, at the rate of 1 per month.
Rear washer has broken on four occasions.
Faulty Electric windows - go up and down when they feel like it.
Engine idled at 2000 rpm - took FOUR visits to dealer to solve the problem, after new accelerator module and ECU.
Interior lights in boot failed.
Brake calipers stuck on - warped discs.
Nut came off in gearbox - smashed through gearbox housing, subsequent oil leak ruined clutch. (£2100) - 2 weeks after warranty ran out.
Without doubt the biggest waste of money I have ever encountered. Nothing more than a rebadged Skoda, after about 20,000 miles it has developed rattles and squeaks everywhere.
Do yourself a favour - don't buy one of these - all style - no substance.
Well, actually the Skoda is a re-badged Audi to be precise.
Style? We are taking Audi here= over hyped smart blandness!
You must be one very unlucky person. I have owned more than one of these cars, and never encountered any problems.

I agree with the gear box problem I had the same!! costing a heavy £1017. but!!! nothing else to complain about smooth and everyone loves it. I like it and I will soon upgrade to a turbo.
I think you may be A: Very Unlucky, or B: Neglecting your car.
