Right tie rod end became worn and caused noise. The dealer found loose subframe bolts during inspection which caused the subframe to move while driving over bumps and while braking.
Direct ignition coil failure due to cold weather. Lost one coil on a cold day and was told by my service advisor that this was common and that audi was already redesigning the unit. They replace only the bad coil as they had been instructed too due to lack of spare parts. Very unhappy that I will be driving a vehicle that will have 3 more potential problems waiting to happen.
