Evening all, I almost got sick in my mouth typing the title, but I have an A7 BiTdi with factory Audi fold-away and have been verrryyy tempted by an S7 that has come up! But I would just have to have a fold-away tow bar option. I realise this has prob been visited before, but does anyone have...

Eric, It was €289.99 or £260 inclusive of vat, which I thought was very good. I also asked them to send me pics of the oil that came out of box and to be quite honest I thought someone was taking the **** with the pictures she printed - the oil was dark dark brown, nearly black like Cola. I...

Guys, Pick your brains please. I cut a deal with my local Audi crowd to change gearbox oil. My BiTdi has 110k kms (68,350 miles). Very reasonable Price I thought. They used VG 060162a2 - I was very clear with them that it was not a Multitronic or S-Tronic - which they obviously should have been...

Yeah, I don’t have adaptive on mine - so that won’t be an issue. I am wondering about the engine sound moderator thingy - I know there is an element of that at the bottom of the screen on the bitdi - I wonder are they aware of that and is there anything special that needs to be done to...

Thanks for quick reply, that’s interesting. I suppose the seal will never be as perfect as factory fresh. Maybe that’s the acoustic difference.

Hey guys, Booked in Friday for a screen. Facelift 2015 BiTdi with heads up and full matrix lights. So I know the guy That has the franchise and am driving to his business, it’s one of the big names here in Ireland. He promised his best tech and has experience on these - no worries there...

Steve, Ah yes, very helpful. Mine is for sure the regular looking at that animation. And it does not have any adjustability in MMI. Thanks for your input!

Thanks Moogie, I don’t see GH2 or for that matter GH1 - still don’t know. Is it obvious if I do a visual under the car?

Hey guys, Just trying to work out if my BiTdi has the sports diff. As a friend said to me before, when you’re buying used, if you can check like 6 or 7 out of 10 on the wish-list you will be doing well - so either way I am happy. I believe I should be looking for GH1 - could anyone confirm? (See...

Thanks Audi_Addict I will have a look now. A good friend had a ‘tuning box’ years ago on a 2.0 litre Ford that used to send the engine into limp mode on the highest setting, and eventually he had injector problems, so I would be sceptical. Although it did give a considerable power and torque...

Hi everyone I have a late 15 A7 BiTdi - considering a gentle tweak under the bonnet. I am from Ireland but planning to visit in July. I will be north of Swindon up towards the Cotswolds. I thought I was going to be up the country closer to Unicorn Motorsport and then thought I would be down in...

Oh yeah, thanks. I’d say they wouldn’t come cheap!

Evil Derboy, Forgive my newbie-ness, what are Vorsprung style??

Hi all, Really enjoying dipping into some of the knowledge on this forum, thanks one and all! Bought a F Lift A7 BiTdi in October. Absolutely love the car. Guy had a mix of Dunlop Winter Sport on rear and Toyo Proxes on front. 265/35 20. I thought, yes, after threat of snow & ice I will change...
