Default A4 runs like a diesel

My 2007 A4 2.O runs rough. The dealer tells me thats normal and refuses to listen to me. My buddy is an Audi Tech, he sz its not normal. I have been in other A4s that were not that bad. It's worse when I'm in gear ( automatic) stopped, this puts a load on the motor and the steering wheel starts to vibrate.

Any suggestions are appreciated. The car is still under warranty so I want the dealer to fix it.

Doesn't sound right ... why not get another opinion from a different dealer ?? Any chance you'll be near Montreal, Kingston or T.O. ?

Take it to another dealer(s).

Or if you have the $, it may be worth having an Audi specialist look at in in town, diagnose the issue, then have the dealer fix it under warranty...

Ya, sometimes it works like that

What was your previous car? I had the same issue but got used to it as it is normal other Audis I have driven do the same thing. I know a guy that sold his because of the issue. Go to a dealer and test drive the exact same car, and if you notice a big difference then complain if not it is fairly normal! The B6 line is not as bad as the B7's!
