To be honest its bold to call some of the roads, roads in the uk when they liken, more to field after a meteor shower. When these "potholes" become craters that your car can actually get stuck in, thats the point one needs an off-roader, becasue your no longer driving on roads, but a farm track xD

Hi Rob hope you well ? Quick question what the symptoms of the mechatronics failing on an Audi Q2 1.6 TDI s-tronic done 69,000 miles on a 2018 plate it’s sometimes feels as though it jumps when changing from 1-2 gear and some times when reversing doesn’t also reverse straight away a slight delay. Only other thing I’ve noticed it goes really quick to a high gear normally 5th gear and then you have to proper do a kick down to get it to change down. Could be just me but wanted to ask the question
