    2018 A7 55 tfsi - Major Electrical failure

    I hope you got this sorted, in the end the dealer asked for £500 and I just paid but ended up waiting 2 months for the part. They did not tell me why they decided they only wanted £500 from asking £3200 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New A7 review 4 months in....disappointing.

    Hi evans1089, they are issues on the latest gen 2 A7 from 2018, which is what I have currently. 55TFSI great engine and box though- almost get 45-50MPG on motorways being gentle on the throttle but boy does it fly when you get you foot down for such a big car! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New 2018 TFSI 55 A7 Owner - A few questions

    Also just check with Audi that all your recalls mostly for software updates are completed- I think my map updates never originally worked until I got an MMI update last year.

    New 2018 TFSI 55 A7 Owner - A few questions

    Hi @LordvaderI have had mine for just over 2 years and fantastic a car as it is, there are quite a few software type glitches. So the car should be able to update over the air which mine has done in the past. It does this over the air by the built-in e-SIM that the car has. I think it uses this...

    Audi Universal Traffic Recorder (UTR)

    Hi @sks, I used the UTR App to format the card and just started recording it again. When there are only a few trips recorded then I can access the videos from my phone successfully. When it gets full I get the issues. I am planning to replace the card with a 128GB to see if it is the size of...

    Audi Universal Traffic Recorder (UTR)

    I had the same feelings about, and asked for it to be removed but they said I would need to drop it off for a couple of days and decided it was just too much hassle, as I would then have to source a Dashcam and fit it myself. The car had already been in and out if the workshop several times and...

    Audi Universal Traffic Recorder (UTR)

    After having the UTR for almost 18months, and several firmware updates, and iphone app updates, I thought it was getting better. Just wondered what size sdcard most folks are using - I thought my 256GB Samsung EVO was good until I noticed issues access the footage on the app and also file dates...

    New audi a7 2018 owner

    Yep it is an extremely comfortable motorway muncher, despite a few niggles - for me definitely more positives than negatives! If I had to choose again would still choose the 55 TFSI on second thoughts maybe the hybrid version [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Recall?

    Thanks @Akash, mine is going in on Wednesday and see what they say. I suspect there has been a change as I got an odd ‘out of office’ which implied they don’t work there anymore. So might not get as much info. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
