jerk when changing gear
OK fair enough. It was the best answer I could find. Well my guess in that case is that it has something to do with the transmission engaging. My Dads old Beemer did it for a couple of months a while ago. Thing is, it fixed itself. Glen.

Crap in the snow
I would guess tyres is your issue. To all intents the Q7 should be pretty good. Glen.

1.8 Air Intake 'Breather' Pipe
I might be wrong on this but I think you can use the turbo pipe on the standard car. The pipe itself as far as I'm aware is actually the same on the two models. You could always ask at an Audi specialist. They should give you a definitive answer. Glen.

It's worth the money if you really think your car needs them! Glen.

HEATING
I think the bleeder valves are at the back of the engine. I'm not entirely sure about that but that's where I think they are. It could also be where the radiator is. Glen.

USA style headlights
If it's possible to adjust the leveling then it might work but a set of imported lights as standard I would think not. Glen.

cambelt or timing chain?
I think it's chain. Glen.

Hi from a brighton newbie
Are you considering RS models. The RS4 is a very good used bargain at the mo and it shares its 4.2 V8 with the first R8 supercar. Considered by quite a few journo's to be the best all rounded engine in production today. If not then any diesel S Line model should be reliable compared to most other cars. I would recommend the A4 as the 6 is that much bigger and that much more difficult to park. Glen.

2009 face-lifted rear lamps 8PA Sportback
I would think so. If you're thinking about the main bulb. I don't think any LED bulbs will work. As for plug n play I can't say for sure. Glen.

jerk when changing gear
I had to do a slight bit of research and I found out that it might be the torque converter. The clutch can generate vibrations for a brief moment while changing gears. I'll link you to the page that I found as it's a bit wordy. http://uberlame.com/a6_tsb/Transmission/Chirping,%20hooting,%20squeaking%20noise%20when%20shifting%20between%203-4.pdf Glen!

New member and soon to have an A3...
I liked my old MK5 Fiesta. Audi is definitely a step up though. Hope all goes well for you and welcome to the forum. Glen.

Back with an Audi..
Good thing you changed the plates because I had the same thought go through my head. Right after that's a nice car. Glen.

replace the Q7’s SATNAV DVD
I'm sorry but I can't think of a way to get your disc out other than to take the whole thing apart and take it by hand. Had a similar issue with my old PS3 once and to this date still don't have my disc back. Then again the PS3 is ridiculously tough when being opened up and resorting to the hammer didn't work. So yeah, don't hit it with a hammer is my advice :) Glen.

New to Audi
I would be tempted to say that it's pretty decent but if it were me I'd swallow my sense of decency and try to heckle it down to about £5,500. No harm in trying. Glen.

Audi A3 Rad fan not cutting in!
Hello and welcome to the club. Glen

Timing Chain
To be honest I think so. I wouldn't take any chances. Rattling from an engine isn't normally a good sign. Glen!

New guy here!!
Quite a back story. The Seat is a different type of car to the Audi to be honest. The A4 is meant to be more comfortable than it is sporty in that guise. Should be a nicer car for your baby to ride in by miles. Glen!

Tuning options for 1.8t
I think all cars respond quite well to aftermarket air filters. It helps the engine breath and frees up a few horses. I think that would be my first action if I were to tune up a car. Glen.
