Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 the Q7 is a lovely car as long as you keep up to date with all maintenance and sort the niggles.

If.the car is experiencing problems just run it on e5. I run a classic car on e5 as E10 it had an erratic idle. Please bare in mind E10 corrodes the rubber fuel lines faster thus running the risk of fuel leaks in the fuel bay and potential fire. In theory most 2011 on cars can run on it but if your cars having issues it's definitely not worth the risk.

Getting a bag specialist to check is a good idea.

I'd strongly recommend you drive the car at a dealer. But it does sound a good spec

I sure it'll come in useful for multiple people!

Sounds like that's what it.us.tgen as I know Audi have had to do various key updates on mmi etc

If there's definitely no leak then I'd think there is an issues with the pump or modules.

So glad you got sorted in the end 🙂

If one of the plastic prongs are missing off the bumper the. I believe the cute might be a new bumper.

You're welcome, ah I see. Is it worth speaking to Audi parts department as they'll have a schematic.

Anyone Midlands based want to do a monthly meet at the Stonehurst farm car show, mountsorrel Leics. Car Club night at Stonehurst Farm Monday evenings 30 May/ 27 June /25 July / 29 Aug Entry by donation to Rainbows 🌈 Bar and Hog Roast Everyone welcome and all cars of all ages.

I know it feels like a wasted day, however having the fault logged and investigated in warranty might help you if the fault happens outside of warranty.

I believe Audi should have all the updates, recalls etc on file. It might be worth ringing them. There's a lot of software issues with vag cars ATM. It's definitely a nice car 🙂

Other than persistence, a hammer, heat etc im not sure

Hey mate could you try an air chisel or sawsall? Also found this link mate: https://www.ttforum.co.uk/threads/seized-rear-control-arm-preventing-4-wheel-alignment.180551/ I'd also recommend you update the bushes with powerflex ones so you won't have to replace them again.

How odd. A diagnostic check might be worth a try. Or speak to Audi as the software might need an update. Definitely get it logged with Audi so there's evidence you've reported it to them in the warranty period. Ive done a search online which hasn't brought up any results.

Worth a consideration. What does the auto electrican think?

Good luck with the work and further diagnostics. Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

This is a phone cradle for connecting a specific mobile device. it had a cradle attached for what I think was a Nokia 6xxx series phone attached to it. Annoying but I guess it should be removable. but here's a link to the cradle: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114939037738?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=00iPa9PYQoG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304457255184?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=FlzQAgJOQw6&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Nokia phone: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313553133170?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Ocd4u4l5TMy&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Very nice! Anymore mods planned? Any pics?

Yep I've looked into it, I've got my tickets booked and really looking forward to it. Should be a cracking day out 🙂 I do love shows that have a variety of things to do. Just like simply Audi that has the cars, museum and manor house to look round.

It's funny you mention the bilsteins as I was considering the full suspension kit (£700+) worth lowers the car by 30mm too (not that I'm going for anything racey) just thought it'd improve the handling as genuine Audi suspension parts are no longer made.
