What an experience this damn Q7 has been. Awful car so far. Worst purchase decision ever. However, some fixes have been completed so that's something. Bit of advice sought on the following if anyone can kindly help: - When I got car, vents were blowing heated air but when I tried AC it went...

I recently posted about a dud Q7 4L I was sold by an unscrupulous private seller. My post wasn't very specific so I wondered if I could get some advice. Basically, I might try to get some repairs done, but using aftermarket or refurbished parts. I know they are much more prone to failure than...

Bought a 2007 Q7 yesterday. I acted in good faith but got shafted by a liar who misled me throughout. Long story but all sorts of issues cropped up on the drive home and feeling a bit foolish now. Got the following dashboard warning issues as a starting point (all amber): - Engine management...

Hi all, My key fob remote locking stopped working a few months ago. No matter what trick I try, nothing! It's very annoying having to constantly use a manual key blade with a newborn to contend with. I'm guessing I need a vagcom specialist? Anyone know of one in Leeds? Wish I had a 2nd key to...

Hi all, My partner needs a new car and I've found a 2013 Q3 in an independent garage that's pretty immaculate, priced at £9,950, with a 6 month warranty. It's got a full service history and timing belt was replaced 3 years ago at 67k mileage. Now 105k on the clock. Four new Michelin tyres 2...

The useless MOT testers I've used in Leeds have failed my car on emissions. Now claiming it's impossible to get a new exhaust and saying last option is to approach Audi dealer but they reckon all B7 exhausts have been discontinued. Incredibly annoying. Any advice? Could really do without...

I bought the cradles for the boot shelf hook diverts for my A4 B7 a few years ago. They were a heaven scent as they stopped that incredibly annoying creaking noise the shelf makes going other every bump in the road. They worked a dream but now one has failed and the noise is back! Problem is...

I've scuffed my rear (boot) window with a desk chair. It's damaged the aftermarket tint, as per the pictures. Id like to repair but is it possible without it looking naff or obvious? Been quoted £150 by tinters as they want to start again and there is obviously a high risk of damaging the...

As title suggests, she's screwed me good and proper, just to spite me. What are my options in Leeds for a new programmed key fob? I'm guessing it will be mega expensive? Any advice greatly appreciated....

Hi all, Some advice is requested re. the tyres on my B7. All 4 seem to be deflating over relatively short periods but with no real pattern to it. The tyre brand is 'Pace' and they were all bought from Black Circles a year ago. I've driven about 8,000 miles on them. I had Halfords check the...

Hi has anyone ever had their sensors suddenly have a continuous beep in cold icy weather? Im hoping it's temporary rather than terminal.

So i got my mechanic to install a cruise control and DIS stalk into my B7 today and guess what? Neither work. ****** annoying as he didnt test them out before i had to take it away so now i have to take it back. Trouble is im not sure he can do it. He didnt use vagcom and all the online guides...

Hi. Ive been waiting to retrofit a cruise and dis stalk for ages but the new cowling i bought doesn't have the hole in the lower part for the cruise stalk. Does anyone have one for sale in decent condition? If not, does anyone have a template to cut it out? If so, id b much obliged. Also, what...

Hi all, I'm trying to source a few different things and wondered if anyone was looking to sell suitable items at a reasonable price. This is my wish-list, in order of priority (car is A4 B7 S Line TFSI 2.0T Quattro Avant): DIS and cruise control stalks (with cowling if possible) Some old...

So i had the snapped glove box hinge problem on an A4 i recently bought. Got a kit online and after an almight struggle getting the pins out of the hinges i fit a new bracket. Glovebox went back in and reconnected all wires but damn bulb doesn't work or the actual piston :( it's like a fuse has...

Hi all, looking at buying a new double din as my symphony unit has a line of dead pixels and looks naf as a result. I like the look of the custom fit Xtrons units but reviews differ wildly. I dont want to spend a fortune and the rns-e's look like a rip off to me for a ten year old pre-owned...

So trying to get to grips with the problems on my new 06 plate Audi A4 Quattro 2.0L and I'm just not enjoying the ride at all so far. It's so harsh it's almost unbearable. Fair enough it has 18inch wheels and a sports suspension but surely it can't be that bad? I feel every piece if gravel in...

They are working as they should but u can barely hear the beeps at all. They were working fine a few days ago when i bought car and front sound is nice and loud. Any ideas? Really annoying me as little things already mounting up

Hi all....just bought a new Avant quattro 2.0T and I'd really appreciate some advice on a few things that are currently awry: I only have one key and i am keen to get a 2nd without spending a fortune. You can get a fob quite cheap online but i guess my question is what do you do afterwards in...
