Hello. I just purchased a 2009 deep sea blue A4 quattro 2.0 premium plus. So far it has been a wonderful car, but has a few quirks I haven't been able to figure out. Any help with these questions would be greatly appreciated!

1. I have a Sprint cell phone and the bluetooth doesn't sync quite right with it. Some of the names in my phonebook are duplicated, while others are missing. I would chalk it up to a compatability issue but ONE time they all appeared correctly! I've tried resetting both the car and the phone settings with no luck.

2. There is a strange noise that sounds like it is coming from under the car every time I open the driver door - mechanical, as if something is moving. What the heck is it????

3. The manual seems to suggest that the accessory plug in the armrest stays on after the car is turned off, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Is that just an error in the manual, or not a feature on my version of the car? Or is there a setting I haven't found?

Thanks in advance for any responses!

 

haha, yeah I hear that noise too when I open the door. it also happens on my vw golf. i wonder what it is too.

 

i have suspicions that the sound you hear when you open the door has something to do with priming the fuel pump. i've been trying to figure it out since i bought the car!

 

makes sense. i thought most modern fuel pumps were located in the fuel tank though. the sound seems to come from the middle of the chassis. maybe it's the oil pump, that's priming. it sounds like it may come from the engine bay. the fuel pump should be located at the bottom of the fuel tank so you'd think it's always primed.

i'm not sure.

 

I think it sounds like air moving - if I didn't know better, I would assume the car is leveling itself.
