A4 2.0 Tdi S Line

Lovely ride awful electronics

I bought an ex demonstrator A4 TDi to replace a 5 year old Land Rover Freelander.The Freelander had 2 minor issues when new, a sticking window and the particulate filter failed.
The Audi has suffered from nigling electronic issues parking sensors that go off randomly,pre sense warning coming on with no cause, big sat nav issues, stop start not working and tyre pressure warning again for no reason.
As an S Line the car has both standard and Google maps, to make the normal sat nav work the Google maps have to be turned off.
Start stop will apparently only work when the 3 zone heating is all set at the same temperature, worked OK until first visit to the dealer now it never stop starts.Another explanation was that I did not know how to drive a stop start car. I had stop start on my Freelander and my wifes Focus!
Pre sense was 'fixed' by turning down the sensitivity.It still, admittedly rarely,goes off.
To book the car in for warranty work there was a 30 day wait if a courtesy car was required, I was advised that Audi roadside were there for urgent problems.
Dealer poor, had issues with the quoted mileage on the purchase invoice, short by 2,000. There were problems with the car tax cancellation on the day I collected the car and they lost the tear off strip I should have had.
