I haven't used my VCDS for a while now (HEX-VS) and managed to trigger an airbag warning while installing my new android head unit. On opening VCDS it asked me to update to the latest software version (22.10) which I did. Now when I try and connect to the car, VCDS launches as usual, however I...

Hi All, For those of you who have upgraded/replaced their 4.0T turbos, how do you remove the turbos from the manifolds? I have some newly acquired RS7 units, complete with manifolds/snails, that Im struggling to remove the turbo units from. I've already released the hot side clamps:slapped...

I wasn't a huge fan of the latest A4/5 models when they came out, mainly because of the "stuck-on" screen in the middle of the dashboard.... But.... having spent 4 days with a new A5 loaner from the dealer, I was actually quite impressed with the screen size as well as the much more intuitive...

Some of this technology is just incredible :racer:

I've had my S7 since 2016, and regularly use a Diskloc security cover on the steering wheel on a regular basis (with a wheel protector). Probably one of the most effective theft deterrents on the market, and has been for quite a few years. Anyway, after 6 years of use, the wheel was starting...

Audi UK has finally decided to issue a Recall Notice for 4.0T engined models susceptible to the dreaded Turbo Oil Screen issue, which has resulted in a number of cars turbo units self destructing due to oil starvation caused by a blocked oil feed filter/screen. This impacted the 2014 - 2018...

Hi All, Just wondered if any of you are still using the group Parts Request function for ordering parts? I've used it in the past, and the prices for OEM Parts was very competitive. Now not so much :grumpy: I don't know if the Audi-Sport discount is still in effect, but Im finding parts at...

Hey Guys, I've decided to keep my S7 after briefly toying with the idea of swapping to something else. I've had it since brand new, and now just over 65k miles. Hasn't missed a beat, and it still brings a smile to my face every time I drive it :fox: I'm considering doing a matt or satin...

Hi Guys, Im in need of some professional urgent advice regarding an Autowatch system. If we have any dealer or pro installers in the group, can you message me? if we have a Glasgow dealer/installer, even better :icon thumright: Thanks, John.

Cylinder 6 Failures Ive not seen any chatter on the US or UK forums on this, but likely just a matter of time :frown new:

Over the last couple of weeks Ive found the (2016) S7 taking a bit longer than normal to start from cold, not a lot longer, but long enough to be noticeable, and after a week of being parked up it would really struggle - or just not turn over at all. Did a check using VCDS, and got the results...

It seems that Google Maps has been restored, at least to the C7.5 platform - My 2016 S7 has been restored, although I'm on out of date maps. Not sure if its a temporary restore. Thanks to the guys on the A6 forum for the heads up :thumbs up:

Anyone else have this type of horror story? My local dealer has a very prominent sign at its service desk saying all cameras and tracking devices must be turned off or disabled when the car is left for servicing, due to staff privacy regulations. :racer:

Like a lot of people, my car has spent most of the last year sitting in the garage, and has only added around 2000 miles since March 2020 till now. My normal annual mileage is anything between 12~15k :racer: The car is now 5 years old, and on its original battery. I leave it hooked up to a...

Hey Guys, I have an early 2016 S7, with the MIB2 MMI and two USBs under the armrest. These are regular power 2.0 USBs, and I’m struggling to keep my Samsung Note Ultra charged when using Android Auto on long journeys. The existing USBs are not “high powered/fast charge ports” and the charging...
