Thank you. I was thinking a company could take moulds from wings that had been all aligned up on my A6. I know it'll cost more but thinking of the car in the long term. Plus I'm hoping the fibreglass manufacturing process has improved since the 70s and 80s.

Definitely. Especially when you run an Audi as old as mine lol.

Hello Steve, In my experience via. classic cars, once you have rust, you are unlikely to prevent its return except via. cutting out beyond the rusted area, and letting in new metal. Even then, you have welded, or part welded joins to contend with. Fibreglass wings? - that’s a blast from the past when they were readily available for cars in the 60s and 70s - often with questionable fit, and a fair degree of preparation. I guess you have exhausted the possibility of better-than- yours secondhand ones both via the U.K. and the Continent? Kind regards, Gareth.

Can't seem to get an answer either. On the petrols there's two one at the top of rad and one at the back of the engine. If you have two one will be where I showed you on that pic and the other bear the rad would be my guess. My advice would be for you just to ring a parts department, give them your vin and they'll be able to sort you out with the parts. Otherwise you're running the risk of getting the wrong parts. Or speak to Audi. Here's the info on two sensors: "There are two temperature sensors in some vehicles, one to send information from the engine system to the control unit and another from the control unit to the dashboard. The device follows the principle of dependence of potential difference in temperature."

Glad you got sorted! The slow drip ones are the worst!

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 the Q7 is a lovely car as long as you keep up to date with all maintenance and sort the niggles.

Amazing car….loved my Q7 but shifted it 70k miles so can’t comment on ‘niggly’ things

Hi thank you for the resume, that is a proper piece of kit that is probably about all you will ever need, rough estimate from my parts system plus labour at around five grand the multiple cylinders from them would be six hundred, all in all a well earned result which for the outlay has already paid for itself. Steve.

I sure it'll come in useful for multiple people!

This article has just been published in the last 9 hours: https://carbuzz.com/news/audi-reveals-big-changes-to-2023-model-range Here's the bit about the e-tron: Finally, we'll round off this massive list of changes with a few of Audi's EVs, starting with the e-tron and e-tron Sportback. The optional black headliner from last year is now standard, so no more mismatched headliners and material colors. Audi has also made the 22-inch wheels you see below standard on the Sportback, along with those killer orange calipers. There are some safety enhancements too, with new rear side airbags and illuminated seat belt buckles, including those Matrix headlights. Audi's Black Optic pack has also been rolled in with the Sportback's Prestige trim. Audi's sportier e-tron S and Sportback S models get a hair lighter with carbon fiber interior inlays, and the LED interior package is now standard for both body styles. The S model changes finish off with now-standard Matrix headlights. Last but not certainly not least, Audi has some changes for the Porsche Taycan-based Audi e-tron GT and its small-and-sporty Audi TT. The e-tron GT most notably now has a new body-color grille, along with a second charge port on the passenger side of the car. Happily, locking lug nuts are now standard, with all-season tires. While we're on the subject, the e-tron GT's Performance pack now has summer tires. 21-inch 10-spoke wheels in black now replace the previous year's grey ones, with the RS model adding carbon-ceramic brakes and 21-inch wheels. Also included is a toll module in the rearview mirror. Inside, all e-tron GTs now have Bang & Olufsen's 3D sound system, along with the RS getting new carbon inlays. All models also get new LED interior lighting fixtures and available heated seats via the Executive package.

Thanks for the useful links 🙂
