  1. Welcome to the forum Erez, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) I believe you can plug an aux into the back of the radio :) In terms of parts eBay might be a good idea :) We would love to see pictures of your a3 in Israel! :) Cheers Steve
  2. Welcome to the forum Kevin, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Sounds a very nice spec of A7 you're going to look at :) Is the car for sale at a garage or private seller? Obviously have a look at the service history and ideally this should be full. Also make sure that the gear changes are smooth both in auto and manual mode as any faults can be expensive to fix. Also make sure that all electronic items work as these too can be expensive to put right. One key area to look at are tyres. Are they the same make and I'd the tread wear the same? I ask this as the Quattro system can be sensitive and can be damaged by uneven tyre wear. Joined with this be careful if the car as Dunlop maxx tyres. There have been cases on here of the splitting. Here's the thread for more info: It's also worth getting an independent inspection carried out by companies such as the AA or RAC. If the seller is reluctant or refuses to have the inspection carried out then you have to wonder what they or the car has to hide. Here are also a couple of YouTube videos which may also help: This one has English subtitles a7 review Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve

  8. And it acts as extra strength and thus, protects the rear of your car if you get hit from behind.

    TT questions

    Welcome to the forum, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) In my experience the windows on both doors should go down slight when you open the door. However it isn't unheard of the components inside the window mechanism to wear out. However I have also found that if the battery is low on charge or has been completely flat then this can also cause this issue. I'm unsure on the carbon build up though. I can't say I've come across it on here before on the 2.0 petrol TT. Cheers :) Steve

    Oil?

    Hi Dave, if it helps Audi recommend Castrol Edge Professional long life 3 which is 5w 30. Here's the link: https://www.audi.co.uk/owners-area/servicing-maintenance-mot/audi-oil.html Cheers Steve
  11. This is a tough one Robert. One the one hand I can agree with Paul if the garage are willing to foot the bill. However on modern, high tech cars electrical issues can cause numerous issues later down the line if that makes sense especially if the ecu is damaged. I'd be tempted to ask for your money back as it is (in my opinion) a big risk. Cheers Steve
  12. Welcome to the forum Gary, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Unfortunately we can't do much about the adverts as this is down to the bosses. To be fair the adverts are what keep this club/forum free :) I agree with Rob and say S Line spec good :) On any a7 you look at check the tyres! Owners who have Dunlop tyres fitted have been finding they are splitting. Here's the link to the thread: I've also found these 2 YouTube videos which maybe useful :) This has UK subtitles hut isn't too bad: Cheers Steve
  13. You're welcome :) Sorry I can't help more though. Cheers Steve
  14. I wouldn't worry too much, but.the towbars condition will determine how much it's been used. Let's face it the 2 likely options are either a caravan or horsebox which will.probably only have come out a handful of times over each year. Does sound a nice spec :)
  15. Tell me about it Paul! Only 1/3 of our road tax goes on fixing roads. The rest goes to pay duck houses or fancy flats as part of MP expenses!
  16. Welcome to the forum Kevin, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) I'd say you'll needs 17" or maybe 18" wheels. Cheers Steve
