Has anybody elses shifter red plastic ring fallen off? Half of mine seems to have come off and won't stay on well. I attached a picture below with an arrow of the piece I'm talking about.
Not that this is helpful but I personally didn't even know I had one of those, let alone know if its falling off. Did it crack or is it affixed by glue that was not sufficient, what's occuring?
YES! We had ours break in half and would not stay in place like you said when trying to reinstall it. We took it to the dealer and they are ordering the whole part to replace it under warranty.
No problem. I actually laughed when I read your thread thinking wow were not the only ones. Now if they could only fix our metallic ringing sound we have....
Stopped by the dealership today, they said the only way to fix it is to replace the entire shifter and they have one on order, but it's going to be a while since it's from outside the US. How long did your dealership take to get yours?
Still waiting on it. I brought them the car last Wednesday so that should have been when they ordered it. I will call for an update and let you know when I find out more information.
Ditto, it was cracked when I left the dealership the day I purchased it. I thought it would "snap" back in, no dice, they will replace it under warranty, they just don't expect the part to come in very fast
Yes. Everyone above you. They all got it replaced under warranty. Not sure what else you're looking for; tell your dealer to honor the warranty, or work with another dealer. Reaching out to Audi might be helpful, too.
I had a similar thing happen and used a small amount of clear rtv to fix it. No more issues after that and you couldn't tell once it was dry.
