Default Dealers can't fix my problem

Hey guys, I'm hoping you can help me out. I bought an '08 A4 Avant almost two years ago with CPO warranty. After about a month of ownership and new tires (Nokian) later, I notice a shaking, coming more from the pedals that the steering wheel. After multiple road force tire balances by the dealer it was deemed a problem with the tires. So we had the tires replaced under warranty. Same thing happens, again after multiple wheel balances. So I get some OEM Pirellis put back on....yup, same problem. The dealership tells me they can feel something but it is so minor they can't do anything. So I take it to the sister dealership in the GTA. Run through the whole problem again. This time I was told it was the driveline and that this is common in B7s.

So now the car is off of CPO and I still don't have this resolved. I'm at the point of looking to an indy shop on the east side of the GTA who can help me out. Otherwise I'm going to dump it and pick up a V8 Allroad.

Anyone have any suggestions before I do something drastic?

thanks

Given you logged the original problem while CPO was in effect and never got the problem resolved, i think Audi should be adressing it with you. I'd suggest you give Audi Canada a call and discuss the whole history with them.

How many km's on the car? Check the snub and motor mounts and replace them gets rid off most vibrations.
