Audi Owners Club

A gear oil change may be a good place to start and maybe the brake fluid as this is used to operate the clutch too.

Yes I would imagine it would require someone with the relevant Audi software and cable. When you're on the phone does the volume adjust with the control on radio?

HI welcome to the club!  :) Get some photos up when you can!

I reckon it will still get better over the next few thousand miles for you guys. However, as you say using all the heater/lights/wipers etc and the low temperatures over winter don't help plus as you said it's town driving not motorway.

Is it the factory fitted system? If so it sounds like it could just need reprogramming or something?

It's definitely possible but to be honest it would probably be very expensive. Could be simpler to sell up and buy a TFSI but depends if you want the fun of building it yourself I guess!  :D

Sounds like a good result Mick. Stick some pictures up when you get it  :)

If it's cranking then it sounds like the batter is connected fine etc. 

Sounds like a possible immobiliser issue to me. An immobiliser would still let the engine turn over but it would prevent it from actually starting.

What sort of consumption are you getting and is it petrol or diesel?

Good news Alan glad you have got it sorted!  :)

Not heard of this being done before. Would be interested to hear if you manager to get this sorted!

Hi welcome to the club! Sounds like a nice pair of Audis you have between you!  :D

Sounds like it could be the compressor. This is a reasonably common fault I believe and apparently there is a rebuild kit available to buy.

The correct spelling is accelerating   but don't worry!

Firstly, check the wheels and tyres and that's an obvious place to start. Any buckles or deformities etc

If not then the multitronic gearbox can be known to cause problems unfortunately. I would take it to an auto gearbox specialist to take a look at it as a replacement will be very expensive. 

Sounds like it is just coded wrong. I'm sure an Audi dealer or specialist could plug it in and sort it for you.

I believe Audi recommend 33 psi front and rear.

Amacuk, sounds like a very nice Q7 with lots of kit on it!  :)

I believe the Sat Nav update has to be carried out at an Audi dealer as it needs to be licenced. With the blower, do you have the A/C on at the same time as this can help to dry it out quicker?

Hi Amacuk,

Welcome to the club! Will be good to see you around on here!  :)

It should definitely be possible and any custom exhaust place should be able to do it but just bear in mind it more than likely won't pass an mot without a cat

Wow I've never heard of that many problems caused my aftermarket HID's. I know some of them vary in quality quite considerably but even so!

I wouldn't have thought the climate panel would be related but you never know I guess! Have you checked the obvious such as the fuses etc?

Not heard of this issue before have you plugged a fault code reader in?

Give these guys a try. They are VAG specialists:
