    A7 Rear Bumper

    It looks like the bumper has had a bit of damage repaired, badly. The clearcoat wasn't done very well. Unless you know what your doing regarding surface prep and spraying I would get it done by a reputable body shop. Maybe around £400 for the rear bumper complete ?

    2018 A7 55 tfsi - Major Electrical failure

    If your car is the MHEV variant I believe it will have the belt driven starter / alternator, if not it should have a standard alternator.

    audi a7 2016 biturbo rough idle and judder at 2000rpm on cold start

    Personally I don't think a faulty cylinder head coolant control valve / thermostat would cause the symptoms you describe. I would definitely make sure all is well with the swirl flap as per the link in the post above. I think faulty fuel injectors may not always be highlighted with a DTC as in...

    audi a7 2016 biturbo rough idle and judder at 2000rpm on cold start

    This thread is well worth a read. It may have some answers for the problems you are experiencing. https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/eliminate-diesel-clatter-cduc-cdud-3-0tdi.381051/unread I mentioned the issues within the above thread to the dealership that was attempting to sort problems...

    audi a7 2016 biturbo rough idle and judder at 2000rpm on cold start

    The engine getting hot and the fans running will most likely be the ECU doing an Active DPF Regeneration cycle. My BiTDI would do it regularly even though I gave the car a good 20 mile thrash every two weeks. My car would occasionally misfire on start up, it would also do it when hot too. The...

    3.0 BiTdi smoke on start up ?

    Yes, I'm glad this problem has been resolved. After 10 months I thought the dealership would put up a fight but it went quite smoothly in the end. The 3.0 litre Biturbo is a great engine unfortunately I bought a lemon. It would have been nice to get to the bottom of this problem.

    3.0 BiTdi smoke on start up ?

    The A7 has now sadly gone, we came to an agreement on what price the dealership would offer me against another car. Basically they used a £0.65p per mile depreciation factor which I guess is about right. As the workshop didn't know what to try next to solve the issues and the Audi Warranty...

    Looks good, I'd be happy with that.

    3.0 BiTdi smoke on start up ?

    I believe the only work done to the car with regard to the fault is replacement of 6 fuel injectors. I am in the process of rejecting the car as I feel like this could go on for a long time.

    3.0 BiTdi smoke on start up ?

    I popped into the dealership late last week to take a look at the car myself. Unfortunately new injectors have not sorted the issue. I have now asked about a refund.

    3.0 BiTdi smoke on start up ?

    So, the 6 injectors were replaced on Monday, the dealership that did the work were happy that the issue had been sorted. Tuesday the car was then driven some 40 miles back to my usual dealer so that they could park it up and then check the following morning that all was well. I asked them to...

    3.0 BiTdi smoke on start up ?

    Decided to call the workshop direct rather than speak to the Customer Services rep. Nothing has been done to the car as they are really busy. It would appear that my car still has zero priority even with the involvement of Audi Customer Services. The novelty of driving the Q5 50 TFSIe...

    3.0 BiTdi smoke on start up ?

    I was told that the car was being transferred to another Audi dealer on the 8th of August to have the injectors replaced as the dealer I bought the car from were too busy to do the work. I've heard nothing since. I'll be giving the Audi Customer Service guy a call this morning for an update...

    2018 A7 55 tfsi - Major Electrical failure

    Could be a failed Alternator. Your description is typical of what happens on these later model cars. I'm afraid you won't see much change from a £1000 if your car is now at an Audi dealer. Last year I had to have an Alternator and a Battery on a "12" plate Jag XF. The bill came to £850 at a...

    3.0 BiTdi smoke on start up ?

    Well now, it appears that your Audi Approved Used Car warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on when it comes to Fuel Injector faults. Probably worth nothing for a lot of other faults too. So, as this farce has been going on for three and a half months now the dealer and Audi customer...

    3.0 BiTdi smoke on start up ?

    I gave Audi UK Customer Services a call yesterday. The person I spoke to was quite sympathetic with regard to what has happened. She agreed that the time frame was rather excessive and has set up a case file for someone to look at and get back to me within 48 hours. I asked the question "what...
