I found the cause of my rattle… it’s actually in the hood of the dash above the binnacle. I removed the clocks completely and the rattle was still there. So I have inserted 2 plastic wedges, one of which has been cut down so you can’t see it (I forgot about the other one to be honest). This has...

Hi all! I have a 2020 S6 with 30k miles, I hit a bump/pothole about a week ago and ever from it I have a rattle/buzz around the dash. I thought it was the binnacle and took it off. Rattle remained. I was able to fashion a tool to pull the clocks forward (convinced it was the virtual dash) and...

Did you ever get to the cause of the dash rattle? I have the exact same problem

Has anyone took the virtual dash out and if so how? As above it looks like you need a tool. I am in absolutely no way endorsing mileage corruption it just shows how to remove the cluster.

I have the rattle there too. I removed the binnacle and applied anti squeak tape which worked for about 4 days. The rattle has came back, my heart sunk it’s definitely behind the virtual cluster. I too need to find out how to remove it. I found this and it looks like you need a tool...

When you say faulty climate do mean the control unit? I can get access to VCDS so I’ll try that, many thanks for your help.

So my heater is very sporadic. Times 22c is roasting and times it’s freezing or it starts warm and goes cold. I know it adjusts to the cabin but I end up with the heater turned up to 27c to maintain a pleasant heat in the cabin. The car is an A7 but shares the same systems as the A6. There’s...

I’ll go that route my self. Thanks again

Ok, thanks very much for your prompt reply. I would have been convinced an airbag from a round wheel would fit a flat bottom steering wheel! Glad to find out that isn’t the case

Hi, I’m in the same position with steering wheel…. I’m on an A6 owners page on Facebook and a member claims to have used a RS4 wheel on his A6 C7. Is this correct? My current wheel is the round one…. I’d like the flat bottom wheel which is from a RS4. Are they compat?

Cam chain tensioner I believe. Replacing all tensioners, guides and associated gubbins. Mines the 272 variant which I understand to have a weakness in the tensioners. Mine however, didn’t have the classic cold start rattle, mine came in at 1500-1800 rpms

Well…. It has since turned out to be the bottom tensioner causing the rattle. I’ve just got the go ahead from my warranty company to repair it at a cost of £3500!!

My A7 spent a week at Audi and they couldn’t find anything wrong with it. There is a rattle when cold from the underside of the car but apparently they can’t place it. It can’t be run through the gears when it’s on a ramp because of of the Quattro system apparently. I just have to suck it and...

Well…. See my later post. I now have a hell of a rattle from the gearbox area when cold. It’s been diagnosed as a failing dual mass flywheel. It’s in Audi at the minute, I’ll find out on Monday. The jerk would tie in with the flywheel being on its way out.

Hi all, I have a 2015 A7 Quattro 272bhp with a 7 spd s-tronic gearbox. I have a rattle from underneath the car when cold. It also rattles slightly when warm but not as much. Is the dual mass flywheel a weak point? Should I replace anything else when I’m in there? Here’s a link to the sound.

I’m waiting on confirmation that mine is indeed the flywheel, I’ll find out Thursday. £1000 if it is, my rattle seems to be from the low n/s of the car. Same as you I heard it when the front passenger window was down.

Was it the timing chain?? I’m having the same noise but believe it’s the dual mass flywheel….

Hi, I have the same rattle in an Audi A7 with 50k on it. Is this the noise?

I’ve come back to the Audi club having ventured off to a variety of other makes. I’ve finally got the car I’ve really wanted an A7 Quattro 272 (would have preferred a bitdi but hey ho). I have to say I am absolutely delighted with the A7, it really is a fantastic car to drive

Hi all, as in the header I have a 2015 272 3.0 Quattro with a 7 speed s-tronic box. It has 48k on it now and the gearbox was serviced by Audi at 39k (by previous owner). When I come to a stop I get a jerk/jolt/nudge forward. It only happens in ‘D’ never in manual or ‘S’ it’s really starting to...
