The front wheel bearings were making noise @ 76,756 miles, while driving on the open road, so both were changed out. Upon checking the internet I found tsb no. 401548 referring to the problem in many Audi models from 2009-2016. With this extensive problem, a recall should be enforced. A month later @ 78998 miles the electronic rack and pinion steering started to make a rubbing noise when turned, sitting or traveling and an on board red notice came up indicating steering problem seek professional help. The unit was electrically diagnosed with a failed air bag clockspring and an electronic steering gear assembly. The codes were entered and the rack and clockspring were reprogrammed to the vehicle once installed, solving the problem. This also seems to be an inherent problem in this vehicle, since the mechanic had know of two other already this year. The car did drive fine with the old rack and pinion in it.
