You've done well to drive this for over a year without issue. I wonder if the locking mechanism has failed on the passenger side. I'd be getting bit liked at by a garage asap as youll be putting extra strain on the driverside clamp. Cheers Steve

That's interesting, first Q7 I've heard of the issue. I'd be getting it to Audi in my opinion. Cheers Steve

I'd replace it with a good second hand one as I suspect a new one will be a fortune from Audi. Obviously make sure the water issues have Ben resolved too. Cheers Steve

You're welcome 🙂 what did you make of the article? Cheers Steve

I'd be trying a second hand unit before buying a new one as I'm sure Audi wouldn't diagnose it incorrectly.

I think it's clipped in if I remember correctly. Bit you have to be careful when removing it as the clips can get broken easily.

Yea I'd get it to a garage to get a diagnostic check carried out.

Sorry to hear that.

Did you buy the car from a private individual or a dealership? If it were a dealership then I'd be taking it back for them to access it. Ive found this thread which might offer some help: https://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/779675-Engine-shake-at-idle-worse-with-ac-on Cheers Steve

You're welcome, glad I could help 🙂

I do appreciate it's a hard decision. From personal experience of spending a lot of money on old cars I always we t off the philosophy better the devil you know if it's been reliable up till now. The problem you'll have is either scrap, sell or repair the vehicle and you'll have to weigh up which the most financially viable option is for you. Sorry I can't help more. Cheers Steve

Like to think you should still be covered or some serious good will as it's just out of warranty.

Definitely a common fault abd very time Audi fix it, it gets logged on there systems.
