Glad you got it resolved 🙂

It might be worth getting it.booked into a garage for them.to take a look

You're welcome 😊 it's definitely great when you can be buzzing about the car you drive 👍 hope the timing chain issue gets sorted easily enough.

Think its a case of a cheap engineering bodge for a poor design maybe?

Please keep.us posted on.how you get on. From my experience Audi can be cheeky band blame the owner re using incorrect cleaning products.

Glad it's sorted 🙂

I'm with ageas for my daily and their service has been.good when I've dealt with them reba claim this year. Aviva are usually very reasonable

Do you know when the gearbox oil was last changed? Sometimes issues with vag autos is due to the oil needing changing

I'd be looking at inspecting the coils, sparkplugs first and then injectors.

Could it be in one of the door cards? Or bizarrely the centre console?

Hope you find someone who can do.this Stuart 👍

I think it would be easier to source a second hand complete handle unit, dismantle it and repair yours. I'd say eBay.

Wow, it's taking shape! Will look ace once completed 👍

I believe the b6 and b7 interiors are compatible. I feel your pain on sourcing interior trim. It's proving a nightmare for me also.

I'd be speaking to an auto electrician 👍

Well I'd check where the battery sits near the bulkhead. I suspect the drain holes in the battery tray have clogged at some point abd let water into the car. The water gets in.and affects the CCM module as it's attached to the bulkhead. I'd be checking this as my first port if call. Or water can get in via the pollen filter housing if that's cracked. Think youll need to get an auto electrician to take a look. Worse case scenario the ccm is fried.

I think it would need coding a d my advice would be to speak to a retrofitter

Welcome to the forum Greg, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Grey is a good choice or maybe black or gun metal

Welcome to the forum Adrian you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 The a7 is a lovely car, hope you're pleased with your purchase 👍

I'd be checking ball rubber pipes. Was the previous one whistling before it was changed under warranty?

This is a great thread ☺️ thanks for keeping us updated 👍

That looks about right but I'd ask Halfords for advice. Option one was popular back in the day, I'm assuming they're still legal? You still see them on the road.

Think you're 3 options are: 1st. Universal one that attaches to the boot which probably will be the cheapest. 2nd. Roof rack with bike carriers which either can be bought from Halfords or more expensive option of Audi. For this you'll need the roof bars, rack abd bike mounts 3rd. Only applicable if you have a tow bar but you can get towbar mounted ones.

Glad the cars been good up to this point 🙂 as long as they're well maintained they're usually reliable.
