I didn't realise it was fitted even after 2 years of ownership. 3.0 diesel BTW. Can sleep easier.......had me worried for a bit. Thanks all.

I've 2010 3.0, today I moved my Q7 from the roadside to my drive and turned it off. Mrs used it for a 3 mile trip earlier but was cold when I moved it. After turning it off, I could smell exhaust gasses and noticed smoke/exhaust type gas coming from under the front passenger door from what looks like a vent. Never noticed this before. Should I be worried??

Good fix Dave.

Biggest changes are you can get stop/start technology, 8 speed gearbox and cheaper road tax on late 2010 plate cars. Also, face lifted LED lights make the car look much fresher.

Well I think it needs a few adjustments too.

Well tomorrow brings new tyres on the back of the Q7, I've had 12k out of the Pirellis + about 8k by previous owner. Anyone using Nokians?

I've been running mine at 36, (sure that's what it says on door) for 21" wheels. No issues with odd wear but I'm not towing anything.

Welcome to Q7 ownership.

Motorway driving I get around 36-38, steady at 75-80

James, put a guide together that may help others. How do I upload it?

Give Ritcher sport a call.

Think I will give it a bash on weekend.

No offense, but any tuner worth their salt would have rectified the problems before commencing work on removing the DPF.

They will bring much needed confidence, and being a trader it's a no brainerfor me not to put some performance bits on (practice what you preach and all that). Gone with Black Diamond 12 groove,little bit of flutter under braking but won't even notice it with road noise etc.

I'd suggest oil & filter change as 1st port of call.

What do you think of the standard Audi & Brembo brake set up? I personally find them pretty underwhelming, causing a few scary moments and indicators flashing. mine has new discs and pads on the front about 6k ago when I bought it however it will need the rears changing soon. Looking to upgrade to drilled & grooved with fast road pads to hopefully slow a little quicker and offer more confidence.

Hi James, finding the Q7 great. Having been a BMW guy it was a tough decision when looking for the family transport but best decision after months or looking at Rangies, X5s etc.

Hi all, just dropping in to say hello. Time to move onto Audi forums now I've had a Q7 for 9 months. Kev.
