    Hi all I’m a newbie 2 this site and need help

    Hi if you’re talking about the rear at the side of the boot I’ve had same problem but it seems to come up from the base of the boot where there’s a vent to let air out. In heavy rain at speed it possibly draws spray up from the rear wheels into the side of the boot. Mines even got gravel in...

    Bumper repair advice

    Smart repair will fix that no problem. They can mask/fade up to the crease above the damage I would think.

    Warped discs or not ???

    For a quality part that's very disappointing. Glad it was sorted. (crosses Brembo off approved parts list...)

    Early Engines/Power/Gearbox

    Good post!! I have a 2015 UK brochure here - facelift 2015 cars are all 7 speed S tronic except the 320bhp BiTDi that got an 8 speed tiptronic. I think I've read that ALL USA cars got the 8 speeder too, but don't quote me on that.

    A7 TDI 242 - Tiptronic/S Tronic?

    I stand corrected - I thought apart from the early low power cvt multitronics it was either S Tronic 7 speed or ZF 8 speed :icon thumright:

    A7 TDI 242 - Tiptronic/S Tronic?

    As I understand it it’s only the bitdi 315/320 bhp cars that have an 8 speed zf torque converter autobox as already said, sometimes called a tiptronic, I believe early tdis had a multitronic (I think!!) then everything else was 7 speed S tronic - anything advertised as tiptronic (no S) that...

    Do all A7’s offer iPod support?

    Not sure on 2012 as they altered specs in early 2015 but my 2015 has 2 x usb plus a 1/8" jack plug and cig lighter/power socket all in the centre console under the armrest. Tech pack advanced here if that makes a difference. Unless someone with a non-tech pack car answers, simplest would be to...

    Dashcam Hardwiring

    I'd do as above - power the camera up directly to check it works. Not sure if you're using a light-up tester or multimeter - I'd only trust a digital multimeter personally. There's the supplied cable too - a couple of paperclips or pins may be small enough to use as prongs (careful!) to check...

    S7 owners - want to swap your 19 or 20" wheel with my 21"?

    I'll bump this - have 21" silver Rotors (factory option code PQW) with good condition Dunlops, would lurve 20" Blades!

    Wheel swap - tyre pressure monitor system

    A-ha! MMI does offer a 'click here when you checked your pressures are ok' message - I suppose I should really read the manual instead of asking daft questions - now I've looked it does indeed work off the ABS. What threw me was ebay adverts stating TPMS included on used wheel sets. Ta! Oh, and...

    Wheel swap - tyre pressure monitor system

    Hi all, picked up my new-to-me A7 yesterday and am very pleased with it. It’s got the 21” rotor wheels which I think are too big, not doing much for the ride (yes I’m an old git) plus new tyres are frighteningly expensive. I’m therefore contemplating fitting 20” blade S7 wheels if I can find any...
