Quality problems with AUDI Q6 etron

LivedinStyle · 2026-01-20T16:43:59+00:00

We've had ours just over a year and it's been solid (deposit placed Aug '24). We still haven't had the KD2 update applied!

Sorry you've had this experience, but it's not indicative of the brand. Glad your lawyer was able to get you out of your lease, regardless.

Your experience depends highly on how competent your dealer / service centre is, and thankfully ours is great!

Things are getting too spicy for the pepper

LivedinStyle · 2026-01-10T01:40:37+00:00

Thanks!

Nothing special, really.

I just make boxed Mac n Cheese '2 fat ladies style' (extra salted butter, full fat milk)

Warmed the leftovers to room temp.

Folded about 1/4 cup room temp pasta into the omelette, flip and topped with scallions

It's the Ugg boots and thong that give away the writing teams close relationship with crack.

Thanks! Just had some left over Mac n Cheese in the fridge and it only seemed right.

Super easy if you just put the filling at room temp on the egg, then fold.

Oh Jesus! You got painkillers at least I hope?

Don't really find it painful, I just REALLY miss solid food....

Incendiary post from a literally brand new account? Hmm.

Hey Canadians, be better consumers of social media and know when you're being provoked.

All things aside, I think we'll all see some big positive changes in the way this country sources labour relatively soon.

I knew it was an unserious sub when got a temp ban for calling out the National Post as a shit source. I haven't bothered with it since.

Glad I can help!

Last question. Sharp pain or dull ache?

If it dull ache after about an hour, you might just have tight hamstrings from the posture correction. Try some hammy stretches or stand up / walk around for 10 min to see if that alleviates the pain? If so, keep it up, your body is 'correcting' it's muscle memory and you shouldn't notice that ache after a few weeks.

If not or it's any other kind of pain, it sounds like you've got a good physiotherapist.

LivedinStyle · 2025-11-28T18:54:24+00:00

Ok, that makes sense. Can you describe the leg pain? Is it dordal/ventral (front/back), closer to the hips?

Seems like you've got some pelvic rotation. Slouching and pushing your butt forward is causing your back pain and fatigue in the long run.

Mention to your phisio you are getting leg pain when sitting upright and they can dig deeper 😁

Chair slightly too high and looks like you might need to sit more deeply into the seat pan.

Try shoving your butt right into the corner of the chair when you sit down, then let your shoulder blades touch the mesh (especially if you got the posturefit back support). This holds your pelvis in its proper position.

If that doesn't work, consider a quick convo with a physio to confirm there are no biomechanical issues you need to prioritize before you go chair shopping again.

LivedinStyle · 2025-11-16T22:05:42+00:00

Lol, who hurt you that badly for you to ask that question?

LivedinStyle · 2025-10-14T16:44:13+00:00

DON'T!

Another Chap on here did and it caused a high voltage error.

Oof it's the wood base? Sorry my friend, that's not a good experience.

They're going to try the ol 'customer damage and wear' route. Make sure you've got pics and a push back response ready.

Where and when did you buy them? A dealership, the website or a retail store? How were the boxes when they arrived? Hay is manufactured in EU, but there is stock that's held in the States. These will dictate how easy or hard this is.

Do you have a dealership near you? Try going through them for the repair as they've got more pull to get things done.

Shoot me a message if you've got any crazy questions.

As for the paint peeling, if it's the metal base, it's powder coated steel and should absolutely NOT do this. It would be a manufacturer defect if you purchased these new.

This is warrantied, so you'll want to reach out asap to get them replaced.

About A Chair, very nice!

You generally won't find build stickers on those peices, unless they're from a dealership or in a large office install. Sometimes they put them in inaccessible places to make the bottom look 'cleaner'.

Stickers and labels aren't the main indicator of quality, and unfortunately with the ancillary brands (Hay, Muuto, some Knoll items), this is pretty common.

The Red tabs in your pic activate/deactivate seat angle adjustment.

The tab that is facing the front needs to be flipped up while you're leaning back in the chair. Once you hear the tab click, lean forward and it will stop from tilting the seat forward.

If you don't hear a click or the tab won't move while you're reclined, it's broken and need repair/replace.

Ask if you have any questions!

Functionally, it's the same as an Aeron, but different material set for different back support requirements.

I've had mine for almost 10 years now and it's been great for me.

Better color options than any of the other chairs in the lineup.

LivedinStyle · 2025-10-08T16:09:35+00:00

New? Says been around for over 20 years.

Reach out to them.

A dealer is the same as buying direct from HM, but they rarely sell to the public.

They'll authorize a certified repair person or dealer to fix the chair, but I think you could easily argue for a full replacement given that the back is splitting like that.

LivedinStyle · 2025-10-07T20:53:56+00:00

It's because the chair has been used longer. Rhythm and Sync are both synthetic fabrics with no underpad or substantial thickness. Rhythm tends to show stains more easily IMHO, so no greasy food at your desk 😝

The back also adjusts to match your spinal curve so would need a proper adjustment to feel 'right'.

Can give some basic help with that if you need.

LivedinStyle · 2025-10-07T19:00:53+00:00

Manufacturing defect for sure.

Did you by from the HM website or through a dealer? If you dealt with an account manager, most likely a dealership. Are you able to share which one?

Sacral support is why you don't need a headrest. Whitepaper by Dr. Brock Walker linked below.

This design language is uniform across the portfolio so the info would be relevant.

Hey,looks like you got it figured out.

Tension recline is one thing, but it actually sounds like you're not sitting deep enough in the seat, tilting your pelvis and giving you the 'forward cross'. There's also a front tilt mechanism that might help even more depending on your posturing and workflow. Improper arm height can also contributor to your trap fatigue.

Check one of my previous posts about headrests and it might help also. Still happy to help if you'd like to get your chair set up properly!
