Just recently purchased a 2010 Audi A4 Quattro in March. 56k miles and everything seems other than a few issues I can't identify.

1. At slower speeds (under 15mph) and going over speed bumps, I hear a rattle. It is not super loud but my paranoid ears pick it up every time. I think it is coming from the rear while my passengers think it is coming from the passenger side. Any ideas on what it may be?

2. There is a musty odor coming from the A/C and vents. I have done some research and have come to the conclusion that it is mildew near the filter or mildew from the A/C drip. Any suggestions on how to take care of this myself?

3. This third issue might just me being paranoid and over-analyzing my new car. The turbo was great the first month and now I feel like I am not getting the same response from it. Again, I don't know if this is an actual issue or me just being to paranoid.

4. How simple is it to replace rear brake light bulbs???

Thanks for taking the time to view this and post responses.

Sounds like you have some problems. Very weird especially from such a new model audi. I would take it into a shop and have them look at it

 

Yeah it is frustrating after only having it for only 2 months too be dealing with this. I believe that I can take care of the mildew and brake light, but if my turbo is truly unresponsive (and i am not being paranoid) and that rattle is something serious I will be pissed. Unfortunately, unforeseen problems are all too common when buying from a dealer (was not an Audi dealership, they *specialize* in import vehicles) and I lack significant funds at the time being to put money into this relatively new car.
