    Q7 Strange 2013 spec

    My daughter has just picked up an early 2013 Q7 4L 3.0 SE and firstly it doesn’t have a power tailgate / boot lid (we’re in the U.K.) and secondly it doesn’t have navigation. I’m also not sure what MMI it has due to the strange software version BBT_EU_P0054_D1 Is it possible to activate or add...

    Q7 Q7 2011 3.0 water leak

    Daughter’s car has a huge water leak which upon an exploratory strip down appears to be oil cooler related. Usual service mechanic says it’s too big a job for him and I have been unable to find any other garage who wants to look at it. So my question for all you good people is can anyone...

    Q7 Q7 2013(ish) door mirror replacement

    Just an update on my experience. After becoming horrified at the cost of a replacement mirror, even second hand, I set about removing the mirror and stripping it down to see if I could effect a repair. Short answer is, I have. Sadly, I did not take pics of the steps, which may have helped...

    Q7 Q7 2013(ish) door mirror replacement

    Looks complicated. Might have to try the mirror... Thanks for that; I shall bookmark that site for future reference. Don't suppose you know how hard it is to R+I the door panel?

    Wife had a meet with a lorry and destroyed the o/s mirror (complete - not just the glass). Can anyone point me in the direction of a guide on how to replace it? Thanks

    Anyone else got a wife who abuses their car

    My kids only let on recently that my Wife used to race the local boy-racers in their souped up spoiler holders every time she used the RS6. And to think how much she moaned about the cost of the AMD stage 1 tune. Oh, we've got a Q7 now and she kerbed both drivers side alloys 'cos she's too...

    Anyone added DVB-T to a Q7?

    Fancied a bit of freeview whilst waiting for the kids. Has anyone either fitted a proper Audi tuner and all the aerial/diversity gear to go with it or one of the after market units like a fiscube? I've got the MMI + (or high?) with HDD and wireless network. I can connect my ipad up to the...

    iPhone 5+data SIM = problems in 2013 Q7, looking for help...

    Just in case anyone is interested, I have a 2013 Q7 (which may be a 2014 MY?) with MMI + (or is it High?) that has the HDD and wireless network. I have a data sim from Samba (Free data for watching adverts, or at least clicking them while you go surf on another tab - sim is just £2.50 if I...

    Hello...again!

    It must be getting on for 7 years since I last posted on here; around the same time as my beloved RS6 went to a new owner (I'd love to know if it is still out there? Black on black avant with tints and multifunction steering wheel). I've had a few cars since but nothing as special. Last...

    aerials revisited

    I think we've been here before bot never got the answer I wanted. My RS6 avant has a long screw in aerial. I want a shark-fin type that some of the saloons seem to have. I took the aerial off to wash the car and forgot to put it back on. The TV works as does the radio so what does the screw...

    oh dear, accident

    ...would have thought that would have been a signal for further investigation. They replaced the shock and I've got it back. I'm still not happy. **If any of you RS6 drivers live near me (Kent) is anyone free to take a spin to see what you think as a comparison to yours? I won't tell you what...

    Fixed cost maintenance re-visited

    I'm coming up to 30k on the '6 and would like to share the costs (please!) with you. 2 small services 1 big service 2 sets of front pads 1 set of front discs 2 full sets of tyres Cost of the fixed maintenance plan 36 X £60 = £2160 Since I didn't pay for any of the maintenance, perhaps those...

    oh dear, accident

    So I hit the chunk of concrete sticking out from the side of the road at 50mph! I insisted that it go to a main agent for repairs much to the annoyance of my insurance company. 1 month later and they'd fitted two wheels, two tyres and done a wheel alignment!!! Got it back, 80mph on the...

    RS6 has squeaky brakes like a routemaster bus

    Just had my second set fitted at 23k and a set of discs for good measure (God bless the service and maintenance package) and the ****** things started squeaking after 500 miles. Are Audi using pad material from recycled Ford Cortinas on the RS6?

    Fixed Cost Maintenance Plan

    sorry, been away from the PC. Yes Robert, the price sounds about right. I went for the 30k at £60 per month - I will do about 40k and pay the 8p per mile excess cos it worked out cheaper than the 40k plan?? At 24k Ive had front pads, front pads and discs, 6 tyres and 2 services. Great value...

    Fixed Cost Maintenance Plan

    Robert, I went for the maintenance and I think it's a great deal. i'm not sure they factored in the RS6 love of all things consumable when they worked out the prices. You forgot to mention brakes in your calculation. I did my first set of front pads at 10K. i expect discs and pads at the...

    Audi Driving Experience - Silverstone

    I'm going on my own. After all, I can't be as unlucky as anyone who gets paired with me! I like cones. Once they've seen me drive the rs6 they might not let me drive mine home. I'm going to stay up the night before. They sent a list of hotels pages long. Anyone recommend one?

    Fitting bluetooth car kit

    Stereo power plug/lead could be an idea. Most of the audi head units even have a little sticker on them telling you what the pinouts are. I'd check the current draw of the kit first though. Don't want to overload things.

    Parts u wish ure car had ?

    £630 per year fully comp, protected no claims. I laugh in the face of group 20. For some reason the Porsche is twice as dear, worth less and goes slower.
