My painful experience is that Europe and North America use a different TSB System. Might take 6-12 months for a TSB to be issued for North America.
Dealers use this as an excuse to do nothing. You may have to be very persistent, and complain to Audi USA.

I searched quite a bit and wasn't able to locate the euro TSB (or their equivalent). Let me know if you can help there.

I agree. I am prepared to do that. It really is more than just a minor annoyance.

Well, I used to know to find my build date on door / inner door frame sticker on previous Audis but no such date seems to exist on my TTS. Is this on our cars anywhere?

That was the build date I got from Audi at the time. I'm unaware of any code on the car other than the VIN (but which likely does contain some data on same).

Actually I looked to quickly earlier. It is still on the sticker. 10/15 build for me.

Well, I guess I should look and verify as well. Thanks.

Hi all, just an update should anyone else is experiencing this. The rear shock strut mounts need to be replaced (I've never had that happen on a new car) but they are on back order and project delivery is in a few weeks. Very disappointing as this is my first Audi.

Thanks. Since I am going on Monday to deal with this can you share more info? Do you have TTS, US model and did your dealer have that as a solution from AUDI USA (TSB?) or was that diagnosed by your service Dept? Trying to get all my ducks in a row so I don't waste another day at service dealing with this.

Of course that just cites October of 2015 and not the day of the month.

tfenton02, wondering if you had any more details on this. Anything would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
