Hi Aaron, I spoke to my insurer who also told me that my insurance would be void if I fitted them. Reason being it apparently isn't recommended due to the stability of the car and the fact that is de-stabilises the sun roof's structural integrity too. I think Audi have lost the plot on this as without the steps I don't actually like the outside but I'm sure its a great drive inside.. I've opted for the Etron GT RS in 6 months time. once I finish my long drives as a consultant!! Even with the long distance promise of circa 300 miles on one charge, that depends how you drive it. Enough said 🙂

Hi everyone, I have a Q7 and just about to trade it in for an SQ7 Vorsprung. Unfortunately due to emissions et al, Audi won't fit any side steps to the vehicle which I have grown to love on my current Q7 Vorsprung. Does anyone have information that would allow me to research getting some fitted in the UK by a responsible partner and post the dealer sale and whether that would affect the car when returning it under PPC? I could simply have them removed if that's acceptable too at that time, but I'm hoping its possible and others have done this successfully. I'm not bothered about speed and dynamics as I'm sure it would still be a nice mover but with better access management 🙂 Many thanks, Mike

Gareth many thanks for this. I had very similar thoughts but it’s nice to see you agreeing with those thoughts. I was curious to see if any other owners had similar problems just to add weight to my argument / approach but nothing back on that front. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer Gareth so thank you again. Mike

Hi all, I purchased an Audi Q8 last month after trading in my 2017 S4. Really lovely SUV but has started to present constant warnings about the left and right headlights being defective and to revert to the manual. It only happens on auto mode where the matrix headlights search and drop with oncoming traffic (sorry im sure there is a techie way of presenting that mode). Took it back to dealer, they couldn't fix the problem but reported it to Audi central. Spoke to Audi central and they told me it was a known fault but no fix, as yet. Now stuck with a car that drives me bonkers at night with a warning every 10 seconds. Finance Company may take 8 weeks to investigate, audi dealer not interested in losing money and Audi central putting me in front of a customer service rep who has no power to resolve. Not what I am used to with Audi at all having had 9 cars from them from new. Problem now is I am stuck in a tri-party debate when Audi know this is a problem they cannot fix. I can't drive the car at night and so I am looking for support in my approach to Audi central. Is this a known fault by others? Many thanks, Mike
