Nope just a 2.0 NA 20v engine but the multitronic is a thing of wonder... put it in sport mode and it responds like a turbocharged engine.

First thing that happened when I got my B7 nearly 6 years ago; I was annoyed at myself since the previous owners hadn't broken it for nearly 12 years before. After discovering it was a common issue, I fitted the metal hinges, which are much stronger and it's been fine ever since. The solution too for the hydraulic damper is to drill a small hole in the back of it to relieve some pressure - it makes the damping less stiff though still smooth, particularly in cold weather. Fortunately I haven't broken the catch or the armrest one either.well that repair didn't last so i went a got a glovebox hinge repair kit of ebay, it comes with 2 metal brackets and the appropiate amount of screws to strengthen the plastic hinges, it's as simple as taking the lid off, loosen the broken part and screw the strips on... but what i did was re-resin the broken bit first, than put the metal brackets in place and screwed them on. took about 20 minutes.
That exactly what I would've done, although having the non-S line here, I'd be tempted to swap systems over, patch the crack and put it on the non-S linejust had a quick check under the car... I had an exhaust leak that kinds sounded like a fart somewhere around the NS rear area... so jacked the car up and had a good look... Found a crack in the rear exhaust box... now I don't have a welder so i decided to patch it with exhaust paste for the time being... so i filled the crack first, let it dry a bit, than put another thick layer over the crack itself, than smoothed that thick layer out as if it's a plastered patch on a drywall. i than went to start the car up and low and behold the fart is gone and the exhaust note is quite nice.
so while the car was running i went to switch it off, wait noise from the engine isn't right. pop the bonnet to find the pcv pipe cracked off on just on the flexi bit... no problem stuck it back together got some black ducktape wrapped it around it than secured that down with cable ties. And the engine noise is back to normal. Ineed to get some silicone tape as that works better... but for now the pcv still returns the vapours back to the intake through it's patched oem part.
It's a good thing i noticed it immediately... so no oil dripped out of the leaky pcv pipe saved me a ton of cleaning.
Good shout. And I don't think it'll be any louder as mine was quiet, even when it started to blow. I too prefer the quieter car these days, it's definitely an age thing and better for it I think.Mine is just a 2.0 fsi 20valve alt engine so it only has 1 exhaust box in the rear I'm waiting for a 2.0t being broken near me so I can take the dual exhaust bottom bumper trim and the exhaust so I can make the rear look more balanced... the space for the OS hanges is there so why not?
But it'll probably come with more exhaust noise... something I dislike. I love how silent the car is. So this is a maybe I'll do it but most likely not.
Not sure why you can't do it over the phone chap, i did mine that way to be done at my local dealer, and no problem at all.and i just recieved a letter stating there is a recal on the passengers airbags... so will go in tomorrow to book it in as the letter stated I have to visit my nearest Audi service center and to NOT book it online.
Fair enough, I don't blame you at all.lol i'll just wait, no way in hell am i leaving my car there without me watcing them like a hawk... they hate it but that is exactly what'll happen, and since i know the showroom manager I don't mind waiting there. I also don't like them driving my car...
