    Question C7.5 Vibration on Tight Turns at Low Speed

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Question for you experienced C7 folk... In my 2016 that I recently picked up I noticed there is a vibration that occurs during low speed tighter turns - like say in a parking lot. Doesn't appear to care what side you're turning to. No other vibrations felt outside of that range, steering feels great otherwise.

    I have read a few threads where this is chalked up to "normal" Quattro behavior, but would be surprised if that were the case on such an expensive car when it rolled off the lot. My 20 year old B5 has a degree of it, but at even lower speeds and that I would chalk that up to the AWD system, but this on the C7 is a bit more pronounced and I'm not sure if it's due to the electric power steering or what. I'm sure others have crossed this - anything specific I can look for? I also read somewhere else changing the diff fluid could help, but looking for some more pointed opinions on the C7.5 A6 specifically.

    Thanks!

    Very normal with every Audi Quattro I had including my 2016 A7 and 2012 A8. They get worse over time.

    Thanks for the quick replies! I texted my buddy too at Audi and he confirmed. He said if you had slippery tires it wouldn't be so bad, but explained it's the differential bias with different rotating speeds on tight turns. Oh well... Good to know it's not an issue!

    Thanks again and sorry if its a repeated topic just hadn't seen it for the C7.5s
