A7 Phil Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hi all Im new to the site, living in shropshire and bought my Audi A7 January 2014 Any tips for using the forum, please let me know.

A7 Phil Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hi again MOT done at Audi and it passed! So it !Removed! should too.. But get this, MOT cost 49 quid, bit expensive I thought at the time but I did want the 1st Mot done by audi.. When I read the T's and C's it turned out it comes with some future MOT protection! What the frig is that I wundered so read on.. Couldn't believe what I read so took it up with Clair at audi. She confirmed it meant (I think) that come my next MOT (presumably at audi) I'm covered for upto £750 MOT protection (not sure now if there is any parts/labour split ie just parts) on my next MOT excluding wear n tear items (ie just about anything according to Peugoet). I've never experienced such a thing and I've have several make prior (not just Peugeot!) So the tow bar. Very impressed! It's a westfalier demount. Seriously cannot see anything when it's off (unless u get on the floor) If you are into tow bars but your like me and the last time you had one was back in the 90's on your BX, go on YouTube and watch a clip of like audi tow bar 2014. It's not me, not into uploading yet, not sure how but anyway my god they have moved on! Drop down electrics but with a new (probably European) connector that you twist onto not just push and clamp, but you do this with an adaptor then push and clamp. I had this great idea thinking I would see if I could replace the caravan plug with the new style but then realised it wouldn't then connect to partners car, maybe you can get the opposite adaptor? I've messed my own head up now! Ginger cake and custard is amazing! So this tow bar cost £510, not too bad at all in my opinion, was expecting more to be fair, I've know people who have paid nearly a grand for Passat etc. Will have to set the speed limiter to 60 now cos apparently if I go any faster I will blow out the windows on the caravan! Loving February up to now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
