    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...

    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

    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...

    How heavy is an a6 avant tailgate?

    Cos I managed to shut my nose in mine yesterday. Oh how they laughed...pointing out that my large hooter was hard to miss. Of course, if my wife hadn't removed the load cover, put it below the fridge(!!don't ask)then promptly dropped and smashed an egg on it but didn't clean it off, then went...

    phone kit in my rs6

    I posted this on tyresmoke as well so excuse me if you frequent both. In my saab and porsche I just put my duplicate sim in the sim card reader and I'm away. in the RS6 I have nothing. No phone prep 'cos I didn't think I'd use it. Then the gits change the law! So here is my question/s: What is...

    casualty count - slow down signs

    Our local council has started putting these up; you know the type - 33 casualties in 3 years...slow down. On the particular stretch of road that has that sign a lorry whose brakes failed crashed into the back of a queue of cars causing 11 injuries plus the lorry driver last year. If this was...

(details on amd website) Dropped the car in and got...

    RS6 has squeaky brakes like a routemaster bus

    Characteristic of the car sir said the snotty service chap when I complained by phone 10 minutes after picking up my RS6 from having the squeaky brakes looked at - not fixed - and the door rattle - no fixed. Are all dealers crap? Perhaps they just do it to me. Am I the only one who doesn't...

    Latest breakdown on my S4 V8 lemon

    There I was, 100 miles away about to go to a meeting when I notice a groaning/grinding noise from the front end at low speed/nearly full lock turns. After the meeting I asked one of the transport guys to come have a listen (I'm becoming a hypo'car'ndriac-everytime I hear a noise I...

    My S4 V8 produces juice when squeezed!

    Because it is such a lemon. When I collected it the o/s/r door was stuck closed. Whilst waiting for it to go in for that to be diagnosed a whine at 2,500 rpm developed and the fuel gauge would read 1/3 full after putting £45 in (US posters take note) When it went in for the door lock and door...
