Hey peeps :)

So my Drivers side door hinge appears to be loose and with the door open i an cobble to door back a forth a few mm.

Is there any way of fixing this? Its o annoying driving down the road hearing the wind where the door isn't sitting properly!

Also the door won't hold its self in the open position any more..

Any help would be fab :)

If you go to Screwfix and long arm hex torx key set item number 49554 for £5.99 and tighten the top bolt with a drop of locktite
 
You should also check for signs of cracking in the aluminium of the door frame around the area of the mounting point for the hinge. There is a well-documented issue of metal fatigue in this area which Audi will fix under warranty.
 
There are 4 screws you can check on the door hinge, two on each hinge. The large one is directly visible, the other is perpendicular to the visible screw, just inside the door frame (have the door fully opened). The one inside the door is T40 (if I remember correctly). But it sounds like yours is very loose and so you don't want to just tighten it, you want to align the shut lines otherwise you'll still get wind noise on the top of the frame or if the front sticks out too much, wind noise even at low speed. Trial and error for the alignment :)
