The only thing I can think this is is that the clutch plate has springs in it. When you are in first gear and put allot of torque to the wheels they depress, or if you let off the gas and the engine is strongly slowing the car they depress the other way. The purpose is to keep the car more smooth. If you suddenly let the clutch out they will snap back and forth making a "Tack tack tack tack" sound. It happens every day backing up my inclined driveway.

Here is a random clutch disc picture showing the springs:

- The car will ding at you if you walk away and leave the key in the car
- If you drive away and leave the key fob on the floor at home and turn your car off... your screwed
- You will still hear some road noise and wind regardless of the padding in your wheel wells.
- You can shift the A8 Auto with the paddle shifters or the shift nob while in manual mode
- Good luck shifting too 2nd gear on the A8 while in manual mode and turning from the paddle shifters.
- Your windows will have a 1" stream of water on them after opening and closing the door after washing
- Yes your phone must be plugged in via a USB cable to make Android Auto work
- Dual Mode exhaust owners (NPP), you may end up having a fairly loud rattle happen and it will require a new exhaust to be installed (potentially 3 times)
- If you shift the A8 auto not in manual mode the computer will take over after a little bit, the only way your shifting will stick is while in manual mode.
- Dual Mode exhaust even while in track will still slightly close at higher speeds, this is normal.
- The SS will sound amazing when started up and driving at low speeds, but will quiet down a lot when cruising at high speeds.

Not sure there's any reason or need. Their comments here are Generic "We're Sorry" posts. This is a normal warranty item. It's happened enough that GM is aware. See your dealer if you have the issue..

Not sure as i have not driven the manual.

Thinking about getting the Vitesse throttle controller.

No exhaust rattle and 1000 miles. What the world?!! Lol

Last two pumps I visited shut off early... this going to be a regular thing?

Also noticed this momentarily, but wasn't sure if it was my imagination. I normally keep the system entirely off-- I'll keep a closer eye on it now that you mention.

about the footwell heating up or A/C vents blowing hot air? is it cause the engine is so close and no insulation?

I usually set the temp control to the lowest setting while the HVAC system is off in any vehicle when I don't want heat. As long as the temp is set to higher than the lowest setting, most vehicles allows air to blow across the heater core. This adds heat to the incoming air.

Try turning the HVAC to the lowest temp setting prior to turning it off and see if it helps.

Thanks for the info will try this happened again last night most of the hot air was coming from the drivers side air vent on the dashboard and a vent below the steering wheel column

Thanks for all the info. With the mention of the NPP rattle, when does this normally start? I have only put 100 miles on mine, and it has been in the shop for 5 days so far due to a HIM (Human Interface Module) failure.

How about the fact that in Track Mode the steering will get significantly stiffer! I know that has caught some off guard.
