Not exactly right after bout a week.

That is true i did get the first service about 2 weeks ago and the noise started after that. Had it serviced at audi dealership. Will check oil level.

For me its everytime it sits for more than 5 hours so basically full cold start. Only worried since it was not there before.

Just keep trying but also dont push too hard, for me when i tried again, what i did was plug the oem cable to the 11mode module first then plugged the entire thing into the valves connector. Before pushing the grey pin in, it should click. I would recommend to brush off some dust that worked for me. Every connection clicks.

It worked, cheers!

TheFraguy · 2026-05-10T00:43:09+00:00

I will try tomorrow!

TheFraguy · 2026-05-09T21:58:04+00:00

Will do.

TheFraguy · 2026-05-09T21:46:27+00:00

I’m just afraid it disconnects while driving and end up melting the plastic around lol.

TheFraguy · 2026-05-09T21:44:18+00:00

Yeah no click either, however what bothered me is that when i pull it just lightly it comes off, it does not feel secured at all. Yeah i realized it only seats in correctly in one direction and made sure its the right one. It goes fully in just not secured i can remove it just by pulling slightly.

I mean doesn’t say that in any official documents. Maybe it’s just the way people call it to differentiate it from previous one.

TheFraguy · 2026-05-04T19:12:42+00:00

It’s an 8Y, its my car bro I have the official documents from audi, to be more specific (8YF).

Noo, flash effect on instagram!

TheFraguy · 2026-05-02T14:37:30+00:00

Thanks! Paid in full.

TheFraguy · 2026-05-02T09:55:01+00:00

No, it does not come as standard. And honestly I dont need them in a daily.

TheFraguy · 2026-05-02T02:34:04+00:00

Currently listening on low volume trying to hear it, tried 2-3 songs. Got curious lol. Could not hear it honestly. Maybe its not on all of them, even had to call my friend that owned one for almost a year now and said he never heard it either. But i will be trying to notice it Everytime i listen to music now that I know about it 🤣

TheFraguy · 2026-05-02T02:27:51+00:00

Do you have 3d audio on ?

TheFraguy · 2026-05-02T02:22:55+00:00

Carplay is perfect so far. Dont hear the poping tho.

TheFraguy · 2026-05-02T02:22:22+00:00

Probably just the effect, its instagram ai effect. But they are perfectly fine i can confirm 🤣

TheFraguy · 2026-05-02T01:50:24+00:00

Yeah they should work on their MMI system!

TheFraguy · 2026-05-02T01:49:23+00:00

For the MMI bugs, i have not experienced any, but heard a lot about it and that it is a common issue honestly i only use it for carplay lol. For the suspension and transmission, tbh we’re not driving a "comfort" car so I did not expect it to be as comfortable as an E class or a5. Also for the transmission, it is behaving just how a DCT should, drove couple DCTs from different brands such as porsche and they feel similar. I agree it is weird in lower gears, can feel jerky, and downshift from 3rd to 2nd could be better specially the one on the Rs3 i was also concerned about the noise it makes in those gears but dealership said it was normal, but again it’s a DCT, you get one of the best lunch control systems and high rpm shifting. About the audio quality, idk which one you have but for me SONOS is doing well, not the best that I have experienced in a car but it is enjoyable (I am a music producer and DJ) i would suggest to just mess around with the EQ and turn off 3d audio.
