DUNLOP MAXX GT Tyres - splitting
Glad you've had a response Mike and glad they have offered you a decent discount on new tyres. My question is the discount on Dunlop tyres or any brand? Would you really want to put dunlops on the a7 again?! Also they have acknowledged that there is a problem in light of giving you the discount, however it is still concerning they haven't acknowledged the risk they put you, your family and other a7 owners has you rightly pointed out. Is it worth writing back, thanking bthem for the discount but also mentioning the safety risk to see what kind of response you get? Cheers Steve

Window opens sometimes when pressing key button 1999 A8 Sport
Hi Paul is it both rear windows or just one? My first advice would be to use your spare key to see if it does it with that. Then hopefully you can narrow down if it's the key or the car. Cheers Steve

New A4 Allroad delivery
The interior looks lovely and I know what you mean about the bushed allumium. I think the Walnut trim sets the interior off nicely and blebds it all together ๐

Hi Liam, I'd take it back to the garage to see what fault they find. Even though it feels like the clutch system it maybe the engine in which case you're covered. Cheers Steve

Audi A4 2.7 TDI 08 Plate Worth It? Running Cost?
You're welcome ๐ well the car is 10 years old so it's done below average mileage. Most cars cover 12k a year so this a4 is below average. its good that it's got full service history as this is a must in my opinion. the price should reflect what spec and extras it has. The seller will also affect the price. I dealers charge more than private sales.

Audi A4 B7 Black smoke and heavy steering.
Oh I hate predictive text!! At least it just said dog and not anything worse! You have a good point about the power steering Gareth. I'm not sure if it's hydraulic or electric. But if it is electric then the battery should be the first thing to check. Would you agree? Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Yas, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch ๐ Here's a YouTube video which may help: i personally wouldn't sacrifice 10k miles for 2 options as i do 25k miles a year. Cheers Steve

Audi A4 B7 Black smoke and heavy steering.
Glad you got the RNSE sorted despite it being a fiddly job. I can't say I've ever heard of the aditive but you could also try dpf cleaner etc. The power steering issue could be the pump or the pulley usually they start to become squeeky when they're going. As it was in my case for the pulley. Please keep us posted on how you get on ๐ cheers Steve

Electric windows
Hi Mark you'll be able to do this with your a3. If you press and hold the unlock button down then all electric windows should lower. If you press anf hold the lock button then the windows will go up. I believe all Audi's and Volkswagens since 2002 have had this feature. Cheers Steve

opinions please
I'd say keep the chrome (but I'm biased as I love chrome!) Especially if you have chrome window surrounds. You can't go wrong with black wheels to be honest or graphite. Cheers Steve

I'm assuming you mean pre and post facelift? Bumper and bonnet from.yhe previous model (8l) definitely won't. As yours is a 2003 model.if you want to fit post facelift parts then you also need headlights and wings apart from.thr bonnet and bumper. Cheers Steve
