I've enabled the hidden green menu on the mmi and checked the nav section which says it's not receiving any satellites so believe it's going to be something to do with the shark fin antenna but have no idea where it plugs in or how to check it other than making sure it's plugged in

my sat nav has a white screen but all the key on the right had side. I purchased another disc thinking that it couldn't read the map information. When putting the new disc in the mmi says updating and has the % counting up then comes back on with the white screen. Having fiddled around in the manual position option it appears that my sat nav thinks I'm in Africa or somewhere similar so moving the position towards Europe shows my map. It will let you zoom in etc and has all the street names but when you press return it goes white again. Is there a way to tell it where you are to begin with? Could this be the gps antenna isn't working? If so does anybody know where it plugs in or if there is a module for it. The disc wasn't in when I purchased the vehicle as the dealer says they take them out and put them with the service books to stop them being stolen. Vagcom shows nothing related to the sat nav faulty. Cheers dave

Both of my Q7's averaged between 14-18 mpg driving around where I live which is very hilly but on the motorway will average 30+. The best way to check the real mpg is to fill the car up drive 50 or 60 miles driving how you normally would then fill the car back up and work out what it's doing

My Q7 a 2006 3.0 was remapped by the previous owner to around 280bhp. Don't really know if it was much quicker off the start as I have too much mechanical sympathy to properly nail it like that with it weighing as much as a planet. But flooring it when it was already going like pulling off from junctions or over taking is where I found it most impressive. Unfortunately the car was written off over Christmas outside a pub I'd left it at so our new Q7 is just standard but I'm not going to bother getting this one done as to be honest it's quick enough for the wife

It's sorted I've done it now. If anybody wants to know what's needed let me know and I will explain.

Hi does anybody know if the led head lights and tail lights from 2009 onwards require a module to get them to work on a pre 2009 Q7. I have the lights already and have been told kuftech do a harness for the front but don't know if that just connects to the existing harness or connects to a module first. My car has factory fitted xenon lights instead of halogen

Audi do sell the seals separately. It's a rubber o ring and costs £4.80 plus vat. Parts guy told me it's very common that the seal is at fault but because of the labour involved they only recommend replacing the entire unit to their customers which including fitting is over £1000. Replaced the seal and the car has stayed up over night ever since

Hi all I have a 2006 3.0tdi Q7 which has developed a fault on the drivers side front suspension in that it goes down over night. Having raised the car up and squirted soapy water anti the strut/airbag etc, the place the bubbles are apparent is at the top of the strut where the cradle seems to sit just above where the air pipe connects. My question is does anybody know if there is some sort of rubber seal there or is it a sealed unit and I need a new strut. Any advise would be greatly appreciated as if it's just a case of a new seal at cost of a few pounds rather than a complete suspension strut.

Hi all I'm Dave and have recently purchased a Q7
