Changing from Single-DIN to Double-DIN - A4 2006 Convertible
Steve Q replied to gsmdo's topic in Audi A4 (B7) Forum
Well done Mike glad you got sorted, thank you for this valuable information. -
It's a 2019 car. Lifelong servicing is 20k or 2 years which ever comes first. So this Audi should have had a service in 2021, then in 2023. And now this 3rd one in 2025. Not to mention brake fluid should be changed ever 2 years too. If this car has only just had it's first service definitely avoid.
-
Fantastic stuff. Glad it's got an MOT so it can be used 🙂
-
Sounds lovely! Bet your pleased 🙂 I'll look forward to seeing some pics.

They should be able to tell you if it's had all its services as it'll be digitally stored if serviced at an approved dealer. Not telling you the history is an odd one.

Strange “problem” with the transmission box
Steve Q replied to YoyoFur's topic in Audi A6 (C7) Forum
I think wait to see what the Audi service centre says but I won't be surprised if they try and quote you for a new gearbox. If this is the case then it'd be worth searching for a 2nd hand one. You'll need one with the same part number/name as yours. -

If the gearbox hasn't been serviced there could be something internally wrong with it. The other thing that can go wrong is the megatronics unit but I don't think it'd be that in this case due to the gearbox oil not being changed but the previous owner etc. -
Looks stunning 🙂👍
-
Will keep you posted. Under the 30 day warranty it's already had a clutch, slave cylinder, headlight and electric window switch. It's a 2011 Hyundai i30. It now needs a replacement gearbox!

It is for enthusiasts and your input is very much valued. Funnily enough I'm going through a similar situation, helping a friend who's just purchased a car from a car supermarket. They claimed to have done a minor service but yet haven't proven this, despite Asking for proof. I think following your situation a major service I think is in order. It'll be interesting to see the oil filter on this car.
-
How strange. Thinking about it, the key icon could be suggesting an issue with the imobiliser, key signal receiver etc.
-
Not sure on your engine but if it's the 3.0tdi it's known for timing chain issues.
-
Oh dear, I can't say the majority service was done but maybe a minor service? So just a oil filter and oil change.
-
I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. As well as getting the battery checked depending how old it is.
-
I totally agree with Steve on this
-
All new cars will be getting this. It won't be long before the car will stop you from speeding
-
If you e got legal protection on your policy it might be worth speaking to them. See if they can help
-
That could be the reason. My advice would be to speak to retrofitters such as autologics or Audi retrofits.
-
I'll look forward to seeing pics of it out on the road 🙂
-
You definitely need deep pockets to run a q7. Happy new year 🎊 🙂
-
No probs
-
Air suspension problems are well known and expensive to fix.
-
Keep us posted on how you get on
-
Diff issue? I'd recommend getting it checked at a garage.
-
Check service history and buyers guides. They're expensive cars to maintain. Issues with dpf filters, egr valves, injectors, air suspension, gearbox issues are all documented. Make sure everything works. Check buyers guides on YouTube.
