Welcome to the forum Adam, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) The Q7 is a lovely car and you've got a nice spec :) Hypothetically the timing chain should never need replacing as long as the car has been serviced as per the schedule. A rough running engine can be caused by a stretched timing chain and replacing it is an expensive job. As your Q7 has an automatic gearbox it's worth checking the gears are smooth both in manual and automation mode. On top of this it's worth checking the service history bro see when the gearbox oil was last changed. Obviously the Q7 has Quattro and as such it's important that this works correctly as the system can be sensitive and can even be damaged by mis-matched tyres on the same axle or uneven tyre wear. Here's a couple of YouTube videos which maybe useful: Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve

Both good suggestions Paul :) I do hope Gareth has the answers :)

Well that's 3 of us guaranteed :) and one maybe. So I'll contact the organisers if you'd like? :)

Hmm well I'm going to get straight and assume the boot is called the boot to put boots in. In the same way the glovebox is for gloves. Didn't the stripes originate from the early 60s AC Cobra?

That's 2 of us then Ryan! I've not bothered with a club display as I've not had enough interest. If I get more interest then I'm happy to arrange the display. I'm more than happy to meet before hand and go to the show with you :) I'll add your name to the list :)

Nice one George I'll add you to the list :) We have a pitch reserved and as we turn up and tell them what club we are part of they direct us to our pitch :) I have the club banner to make it more obvious for the public to notice the club :)

Wow Ben, your a7 looks great :)

You're welcome :)

Yes I believe so but don't quote me on that. Truthfully I'm not as clued up on the v6 as other models, sorry. Cheers Steve

That's a great result! Glad it's all sorted and glad we could help :) Cheers Steve

Hello Barry, sorry this topic hasn't been responded to yet. The garage had a wise decision that it was the ballast control unit. However as this is not the fault I would look at 2 other options before replacing the headlight which is costly. One of them is to get a diagnostic check carried out to see if any fault codes flag up. My other suggestion would be to speak to an auto electrician as clearly the light is working by one form or another and could be a bad earth or loose wire. Sorry I can't help more. Cheers Steve

Sounds about right, I thought it was 1000 miles to be honest. Cheers Steve

You're welcome Paul glad I could help :) Thank you for your kind words about the forum we try and have a nice atmosphere on here :) Keep us posted on your search and if you want any more help then don't hesitate to ask :) Cheers Steve

You're welcome, glad we could help :) please keep us posted on how you get on. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) If you want power definitely go for the 2.0tdi! I feel the 1.6 is under powered. My dad had one as a company car. Cheers Steve

Very nice :)

I'm glad the garage have agreed there's a fault so let's hope they can sort it. Could you not take it to your mechanic friend with regard to the emissions light. If you can find the fault then you can inform the garage you bought it off for them to fix it :)

This us what we really need lol 😂

Hi Ben, Your Audi will tell you when the adblue is running low this should include how many miles left as a warning message. Never let it run out completely as you may find the car won't start! This will be because the car doesn't want to cause damage to itself or the environment when you've run out. Cheers Steve

I should imagine you should have it. Especially when the supplier has said it should have come with it. Have they offered to fit one for you? And if not then it's definitely worth asking the question. It's very unusual to find any new car that doesn't gave USB and aux connectivity these days. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Ben, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Glad you're pleased with your stage 2 improvements :) Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Michael, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) The first thing I'd advise is a diagnostic check to be carried out. But my key question do the windows work with their respective switches on the doors or have you just tried them off your drivers side control? Cheer Steve
