H Kieren, first thing to check is that the fan blades can spin freely and aren't jammed or seized.

I would also check the thermostat is operating correctly.

Hi J, welcome to the forum.

I had a 2005 55 plate S-Line 2.tdi and it had done 64K in 8 months as a company car.

The 2.0 diesel is widely used in all VAG models and is therefore reliable and fairly bullet proof.

Ecomony wise, i was getting high 40's average driving it fairly hard as fuel was free.

Hi and Welcome.

Sounds like you have your hands full identifying the cause

Hi John, glad the new motor is meeting your expectations. Welcome aboard.

Hi Stuart, welcome aboard. Don't forget to post some photos of the car

The steering wheels have the phone symbol on them but the vehicle may not have had the bluetooth module fitted. Try searching for new bluetooth devices with your phone whilst the car ignition is on.

Hi a quick check shows the A6 uses the common audi PCD of 5 x 112.

The Q7 uses 5 x 130

Welcome to the forum. Don't forget to post some photos once the car is back from the garage

Want too keen on the size of the wheels which came with the S-Line model so i kept an eye out on the well known auction site and managed to pick up some 21" wheels in gunmetal finish.

Old Wheels

New Wheels

Hi, ive had my Q7 since December 8th and its averaging 30mpg, managed to get it upto 32.7 on some country A roads this morning but i was driving at 50mph all the time.

Im not aware of any known issues but i would still check all the usual things like uneven tyre wear, oil leaks, signs of bad crash repairs etc.

Hi and Welcome to the forum.

A nice christmas present, and the quattro will come in handy if the weather turns bad

Hi Martin, welcome to the forum.

Personally I would get it fitted by a specialist as it will need coding to the vehicle. Try www.vwcruise.com

Hi and Welcome

Hi, the ESP is turned on by default. Pressing the button turns the system off.

Welcome Simon, glad to hear you've seen the light and bought an Audi.

Which model have you bought??

Hi Matt, welcome to the forum.

Hi, i used an all purpose cleaner on the whole of the exterior to remove the dealers gunk and polish etc.

Then i snow foamed it and rinsed it.

There was still signs of beading so i used a Traffic Film Remover at a quite strong mix to remove the remaining polish.

Rinsed it then washed it .

Clay barred the whole exterior using some Meguires Detailing spray as lubricant and some Bilt Hambler Soft Clay.

To be honest it was quite surprised at how little the clay bar removed showing that it was fairly clean.

i hadnt got any Iron-x left to decontaminate the paint.

After clay barring it i washed it again and rinsed.

Dried the car using microfibre drying cloths

Sealed the paint using PoorBoys EX-P Paint Sealant.

Waxed it using Dodo Juice Purple Haze.

Cleaned and Clay barred the wheels. Sealed them using Poorboys Wheel Sealant.

Next weekend the wheels are coming off so i can seal the rear of the wheels as i was short of time and dodging the showers.

Managed to clean the Q7 today and give the paintwork some winter protection.

With all the seats folded flat the back is rather large

The boot as normal

The boot with the 3rd row of seats up

Hi and Wecome

Hi, i have a 2012 Q7 which has the 2G Tech Pack Low sat nav.

I really want the AMI to allow ipod integration.

Has anyone bought a Dension or similar after market system?

I didnt want to pay the dealer £595 for the OEM system.

Just noticed that your comments are appearing in the comments box at the bottom of each topic page.

Or maybe it's because you're batman.........

Hi Mark, welcome along.

That's a few miles on the clock! I worked with someone recently who had an A6 Avant 2.5tdi which had done nearly 250k.

Hi, for upgrading the OEM audio etc you can get the DAB and iPod integration from here
