I had the same issue with the E brake, went into Audi, it was a faulty ECU within stere are two not 100% sure tho

And so continues the saga...A Heads up folks if you are not already aware Went to get in the car on Sunday last, press the shiny button and ‘bing’ warning low coolant message appears - and you now G12 doesn’t exist in local motor factors - which apparently is the only coolant you are supposed to use or you invalidate the warranty. Popped the bonnet, looking at the bottle it looks a little low, unscrewed the cap and there was absolutely nothing in there, its seems some residual pink fluid sits in the tiny mouldings at the front of the coolant bottle - could have easily fooled me Anyway after a week or so in the dealership I get a call saying as I now have an approved Audi warranty only I may have to pay for the diagnostic (inspection) of the vehicle if the issue is not covered 😞 Luckily for me I guess as it turns out there has been an Audi recall/ bulletin regarding coolant loss on A7’s. it may appear like this..see video. AA man got out his telescopic mirror and could see liquid dripping at the bottom of the engine, black water substance. He also noticed the same fluid appearing just in the ‘V' of the engine - popped the cover off and shone the torch in amongst the pipes. IMG_1672.mov

I had the a6 avant bi turbo on loan when my A7 was In the fixers (again) flick the dial to dynamic and you get the lusty belch (growl) out of the exhaust, M6 toll road bridges are great fun on the throttle

Hi James, Have you approached Audi UK ?(although I found them very toothless). Also if you purchased the car with Finance your finance company is also liable, and responsible as they in essence own the vehicle. They will come down on the dealer a lot heavier than you can. Here is another approach; https://www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en/articles/your-rights-if-something-is-wrong-with-your-car Let us know how you get on don’t lose hope.

Hi James, If you are In dire straits the only approach at the moment is to contact Dunlop directly and have them returned for inspection. If you want to get independent advice speak to a local tyre trader. These tyres can be collected for free I believe, understand the length of time it takes. but then you are talking nearly 400 quid a side if you don’t shop around it becomes very expensive. I think we all here totally have sympathy for your issues, but the only real way to force the issue is to contact them (dunlop) with a complaint to get the ball rolling. Its a pain but best to be safe than sorry. Best of luck.👍

Wife comes in tells me the rear drivers side back doors broken, turns out it can now only be opened from inside the car. Is it a stuck pin, dodgy electrics? the handle does naff all, I get the feeling someones been 'ruff housing' my pride and joy 🤨

I was told tow bars not compatible with A7’s - first Audi I’ve had that I was cautioned against, dunno why, is the Quattro system?

This is something that was done to my car, but they neglected to tell me when I bought (it was a recall btw), I did ask if it had any major repairs (Audi Main dealer btw) They said none. A week after owning it I had oil light warning, telling me to reduce speed etc, called em and asked why they’d sell a car with no oil in, it went back. 3 weeks later, oil smoke In the cabin on the M6, engine was covered In oil and all over motorway slip road - can you guess what they didnt do?

This was posted in 2016 - safety recall on specific dunlop sports Maxx GT tyres - totalling 369 tyres in correct compound used https://www.hiqfranchise.co.uk/Network-News/safety-recall-recall-of-dunlop-sportmaxx-gt-tyre-in-size-25540zr19-100y-xl/ On Audiworld website, this is probably as bad as it gets.

Hi id definitely think it is worth asking them to check it out, the last thing you want is the roof lining to sag, it won’t look good and if you snag it when cleaning the windscreen it’ll surely pull at the roof panel. tbh it’s not the best fitting unit, in fairness but it’s far better than a trailing wire from the cigar lighter I’d have thought. i will take some better pics at the weekend if you like, I’m away at the moment.

Get Audi to send them back to Dunlop/ Goodyear.

This what ya should see towards the bottom, I think I had my g sensor way up to high (oerr missus) goes off when hitting speed bumps

Hi ya Dasher, should be as simple as connecting. Downloading the video/images to your phone. I’m guessing you are logging in using phone. You need to connect to the WiFi of the UTR. Then open app (turn car ignition, no need to have it running) or take out the micro Sd and download to your pc/mac

Hi Moky, Mine works in parking mode, it is also hardwired using the Hardwire kit that came with it.( it isn’t powered from the 12v cigarette adapter) There is usually an audible notification once the ignition is turned on and also turned off. There is a setting on the app that initiates this. Ill have a look later and see if I can send over a couple of screen grabs.

I don't think it is limited to Audis, im guessing they are not only vehicles suffering from this, Im seeing Jaguar Xf's etc on a Google searches.
