So, I had my beauty for about a day, the tint wasn't even dry on the windows and I was driving to work early in the morning. About 35 minutes into the drive my headlights start flashing on and off and then go totally dark - I work in a remote desert area...No light out at all. I pull over safely, turn the car off hoping a restart will help. Half the front lights come on, enough to get me the rest of the way to the office.

After about 15 minutes at the office, I turned it on and all the lights worked fine. What the hell. Off to the Service Center.

Received a call yesterday and they had pulled a couple fault codes, but could not pinpoint the cause of the failure. So a call is in to the engineers at Audi.

Haven't heard from them today, so I don't expect they discovered anything remarkable.

I haven't seen or heard of any significant long-term gripes with AUDI reliability, so I hope I'm not the 1% so-to-speak.

Definitely not the right 1% to belong to... absolute beauty of a car, though! Hope everything works out.

 

Thanks. I've got my fingers crossed for a solid solution.

 

Well, picked her up the other day. Service cleared all the codes, checks out the headlight subsystems and discovered nothing. Haven't had any problems since...Call it a glitch I guess.
