    cheers BigDave,.. Ive left the battery coding and everything is good. RE: rest of the car - cleared all the codes,.. and no lights on the dash and suspension seems to be working correctly now - but the OBD has still flags 01583 (leak in system) and 01772 signal from level pressure sensor issue I beleieve...going to throw it into a proper garage myself versus the protracted half hearted efforts of the car sales place and cheap warranty work,

    Quick question - Does the car air suspension compressor release air after the engine is turned off? I am hearing a hiss after I stop the car and turn the engine off? no lights on dash or issues with suspension that im aware of (recently fixed)

    so go the motor back last week, this has taken ages. They bounced it around a few garages until an Audi mechanic finally looked at it. I believe the list goes: Air bags, 2 refurbished pumps and finally a new pump and level sensors. - this I think must of outweighed cost of car should it be true. I no longer see any green or yellow lower signs and have full access to all the height settings. Quick question - after parking up - should you hear a low release of compressed air as car settles? - is my pain over or should I go back again? - they say its normal. also battery has been discharging rapidly - I swapped it last night - but believe you have to code it - another question.. do you really? seem sok and is no longer discharging rapidly - start/turnover is also much better.

    quick update - 2 months the garage had this car just got it back,.. corona was blamed for time... lots of angst there... Anyways replaced leaky bag and worn out air compressor.allegedly dead, blamed on keeping bag pumped... no longer have any unavailable modes on suspension. But I will get occasional green lit air suspension sign now and again. doesnt seem to be dropping like it did into the arches and not watched enough if its the dynamic mode causing the dash light. it does on on and off. only had it back a day will have a proper look tomorrow if rain stays off. worried this may still have a leaky bag somewhere, or compressor issue... dont know really whats normal on this car.. would love another owners perspective on it. Had the comment fed to me - it needs a software update? they ignored the P2112 /P2011/P2008. issues and to be honest probably look at them myself as ive lost the will after they kept the car for 2 months +.. that said ringing garage monday to see if we can agree me to resolve them to pay!

    Hi only owned a Q7 for about a month so only very superficial advice from me. 🙂 swirlf flaps- reason I own a Q7 as I was too slow replacing mine in my BMW e90. I did take them out and blank once I had a compression issue, when I removed inlet manifold they had broken so had to replace it blank; I blanked (£10 kit for BMW). this was a very messy horrible job - gunk you’ve never seen the likes of (at 150k miles) if I was to do the Q7 I would get a garage to do it. And yes I’m pondering it. re phone interface - I have the worst MMI - would live to replace the dash for the android setup but it would cost a fortune in the replacing the Bose and wiring etc - also it would be a toy and tbh I often play with them for a while then just drive. denison.com seem to do some interesting gateway devices that will integrate into your system and provide what your looking for, for me it would simply be iPhone connection (I’d be happy if my mmi version will take it without software update - but sorting some more practical issues currently) currently I have a parrot set up (bought with) and I use an FM transmitter/Bluetooth receiver- and for about £10 works perfectly fine only thing I may do is add a relay to provide ignition on based power vs. Always on as I push in /out the lighter all the time. Pic of this below suited the layout the nicest/most discreet and has functions you can use for forwards back play pause etc. Also wanted it without hands free as parrot did this. As I say not sure what value my early amateur ramblings are but there they are! 🙂

    So checked the linkages and they seemed ok; wd40’d the joints,.. replugeed ine connector that’s shroud seemed missing... no difference - did I read there is a 40a fuse to the front? Is that a passenger seat out job?
  11. Rankers
    smashing cheers!

    got the car back today - picture will show the difference from front to rear.. going to ring the garage tomorrow - and try to get my head under to look at the level sensor and arm..
  13. Rankers
    got it back - gutted I didnt get bonnet and front bumper done now too!

    Hey Steve np, really appreciated your help. I got a touch up in the colour you suggested and it was too light. - at that point I decided to throw it into the shop anyway as they’d do a much better job than me (obviously) and pretty much every panel needed something so rather get it done nice vs a patchwork quilt! Lol. (Plus not going on holiday this year I guess!)
  15. Rankers
    Cheers BigDave, if one has come out will it throw both sides out? (any links to any pics so I know what / where to look exactly!)
