Hey everyone,

I recently bought a 2015 Audi A4 Quattro Komfort AWD (automatic) with 100,700 km on it. The car also has an extended warranty until November 2027 or 170,000 km, whichever comes first.

I’ve been dealing with a vibration issue between 65–80 km/h. I got the wheels balanced and the mechanic told me both front rims are bent. He moved them to the rear and the vibration has reduced, but he recommended I eventually repair or replace the rims.

I got a quote of around $300–$400 CAD to straighten both rims. On the other hand, I’ve also been considering just buying used OEM rims, or even new OEM rims which are around $600.

What would you recommend in this situation?
Is rim straightening reliable long-term, or is it better to just spend a bit more and go for OEM wheels instead?

Would appreciate any advice or experiences from others who’ve dealt with bent rims on Audis.

Hey everyone,

I recently bought a 2015 Audi A4 Quattro Komfort AWD (automatic transmission) with 100,700 km.
One thing I’ve noticed is that the automatic transmission doesn’t feel perfectly smooth. The most noticeable issue is when the car is slowing down and it downshifts from 2nd gear to 1st just before coming to a stop. I feel a slight jerk or clunk during that shift.

I’m wondering:
Is this normal behavior for the 8-speed automatic in this model?
Could this be improved with a transmission software update or adaptation reset?
Would a transmission fluid service help smooth it out?
Since I have an extended warranty until 170,000 km or November 2027, would something like this typically be covered if it turns out to be an actual transmission issue?
Would really appreciate insights from anyone with experience on this model or Audi transmissions in general
