Thank you Gareth yes the front springs are sitting lower which probably makes the rear look higher than usual. Advisories on MOT certificate says front springs corroded both near and offside so want to get these replaced as bad weather is setting in now and to give the vehicle a more balanced look.

That’s a good point. I hadn’t considered this. I want to look after the car as best I can being it’s the first decent car I’ve ever had. The springs had indeed cracked and so were an MOT failure. Will call Audi for a definite measurement and take it from there. I had a advisory on the front springs as well so least now know what to look out for and questions to ask beforehand.

Yes true they did say to bring the car in if still unsure, but will give new springs time to bed in.

Thank you both for feedback. Yes the coils were fitted by an Audi main dealer. I did phone them the following day and was told they will settle and naturally the unladen distance will decrease. Have never had suspension issues on any other vehicle, but being the first decent car I’ve had thought to go to a main dealership. I only bought the car last October and had gotten so used to the car riding so low thought that this was the normal ride height.

Hello everyone I had to replace the coil springs on my 2018 q7. Upon getting the vehicle back it looks as if it is sitting a little high. is anyone able to advise based on the pictures. Is there a minimum gap that is required for these vehicles. The car sat lower before but naturally because the springs had a split in them and had to be replaced to pass the MOT. Please refer to pics Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hello can anyone offer advice, I have a 67 plate q7 and cannot get the middle seat centre armrest to stay up to utilise this as the third seat. It just keeps falling down whenever I move the two outer seats back and forth. Any help is much appreciated
