hi i am going to look at an audi q7 on monday 2006 64000 miles, it is at a reputable garage but would like any tips advice on what to look out for on these models apart from the obvious please also its not exactly what i was looking for as i wanted xenons this just has halogen bulbs but it is a...

thanks for the reply's im going to check the coil packs today, and clean the throttle body, my intake also seems to collect oil to, any reason for this?

haha, but yer its not the maf, i only changed that about 7 month ago for a new Bosch. not ruled out, but like you say it wasn't picked up on a scan i will check coil packs, and report back :) bty what is short for TB im a bit rusty myself and forgot the slang :P

hi i have noticed a strange problem in low revs, example: when pulling away from junctions slow the car seems to get to around 2-30000 revs then it has symptoms as if its running out of fuel, it sort of hesitates, like a slight judder until i change up a gear then, it will do this through to...

hi can you point me to the tool, my mechanic has some special tightening tool but that still never worked, ive tried big jubilee clips, zip ties you name it, yes the new boots are very hard, i think that's one of the problems. what tool is it you used thanks

dam you guys :ohmy: i thought my quest was over and decided on the mondeo, but after coming back to the thread just now and reading more, im leaning back to the audi, you certainly know how to twist a mans arm.:eyebrows: all thats stopping me is the mpg, i wouldnt go for the 1.9 tdi with no...

hard choice atm between 1.9tdi and a st 155, i think the audi is better built, but seems a bit basic in interior and gadgets compared to the st unless im prepared to wait around for months for the right one, i hate buying a new car, very stressful lol.

yep i sort of guessed that, thanks for the reply :)

Fuel consumption (urban) 25.2 mpg can anyone confirm that's about right for the 2.5 tdi, i only ever do urban driving, its not often i get on motorways, if them stats are correct, its not much more economical than my s3 which i get only 21mpg (urban) the main reason im selling up is because...

of course thanks, appreciated :) now sell me it lol
