It is annoying, not sure what else you could try other than taking the bot off and tipping not so the glass comes out. Cheers Steve

Can't go wrong if Audi are cheaper. Definitely sounds like it. Cheers Steve

You're welcome 👍

You're welcome, glad you got it all fixed. Yea that is unusual, the wires weren't rubbing on any metal behind the door panel were they? Cheers Steve

You're welcome 🙂 I'm not sure to be honest. There's certainly not much out there regarding your engine.

That would be great if you could 👍 Cheers Steve

Can't say I've used one but you'll find not all of them are compatible with steering wheel controls Cheers Steve

320bhp 470lb ft torque. Again the gains will depend on the tuner. And it should be run on a rolling road for best results. For example: https://www.celtictuning.co.uk/services/performance-stats/audi/a6-c7-2011-2018/diesel/3-0-tdi-241-bhp-2011-ECU-remap-chiptuning/stage-1 https://www.ecovehicletuning.co.uk/audi-a6-c7-3-0-tdi-ecu-remap/ https://www.onlyrevo.com/product-details/software/audi/a6-c7-2011-/224/stage-1 Also bear this in mind: "The key is HOW the power is delivered; some companies really spike the torque at low RPM’s and this is what will kill your gearbox. With regards to the limits of the S Tronic box if it its 600Nm then thats approx 440lbs ft. I believe post 2012 245bhp engines run 429lbs ft torque standard(?) which doesn't leave much headroom and is unusual for the VAG group as most things have a decent amount of tolerance built in A properly developed map won't hit the box with a slug of torque; it should be smooth and progressive." Cheers Steve

Mechanically AMK and BAM are the same... VVT, no SAI, wideband lambda, EGT probe.... biggest change was APY to AMK... chances are Audi would have retained the AMK code if it hadn't decided to up the power to 225 so fitting it should be the same. also found this which might help: https://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?3248273-***Oil-Catch-Can-DIY***#/topics/3248273 https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/guide-how-to-fit-a-catch-can-and-simplify-the-pcv-system.118021/ cheers Steve

Please keep us posted on how you get on 👍

Hi Duncan, I've found this be workshop manual which may help: https://workshop-manuals.com/audi/q7_quattro/v6-3.6l_(bhk)/body_and_frame/doors_hood_and_trunk/trunk/liftgate/trunk/liftgate_interior_trim_panel/component_information/service_and_repair/removal_and_replacement/rear_lid_trim_component_overview/ Cheers Steve

Hi Duncan yes they can be painted. On S line trim they come pre painted. Cheers Steve

Good suggestion Duncan 👍

This night help: Cheers Steve

I'd check your fuses and in failing that you could take off the boot panel to inspect the rear wiper motor and check with a multimeter. Cheers Steve

That does sound frustrating. I'd take it back to the dealer to show them the issue. Cheers Steve

Not a problem 😊 Usually start/stop not working can come down to a failing battery. As the system will only turn the engine off if there's plenty of charge in the battery abd the engine is up to an adequate temperature. As the car doesn't want to run the risk of turning off abd not starting again. Let's hope the battery resolved the issue 👍 Cheers Steve

Before a remap is carried out it's best to have the car fully serviced and in fine fettle. Did he not say what was blocked? Or air, fuel, oil systems etc. Cheers Steve

You're welcome, glad we could help 🙂 7ft/lbs is the torque setting for the rocker cover. I'd do it in a alternating pattern too. And I'd start off finger tightening before using a torque wrench. cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Ian, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Lovely looking Audi you have there 👍 Cheers Steve

Has that fixed it now then? 🙂
