NJP10

Not sure if the new battery needed a good charge but I’ve had no issues with the spoiler error code or the spoiler not coming down after you stop driving. My mechanic did say at the time the next thing to look at was the sensor for the spoiler.

Hi, since I had the battery replaced it seems to be working fine. Automatically goes up after 70+ mph

That’s good to know, my passenger door speaker has been fine since, touch wood so are all the others 🤞🏽

So Steve I’m I right in saying it’s only manually operated via the switch. It doesn’t raise automatically when you’re going above a certain speed? Like I said before the fault doesn’t appear on local journeys 🤔

Yes I ended up getting a battery from Audi (Varta) making sure it definitely coded up to the car. I asked my mechanic and he said :-there was an intermittent code for the spoiler motor but a static code for a voltage too low code for the spoiler. He was under the impression that a new battery would have resolved this, but obviously not!!

Hi Steve, thank you for your reply, I’ve recently had my battery replaced, which seemed to have been the factory fitted one. The garage thought it may have been part of the cause for the spoiler fault, but it still seems to be doing it. If it was the switch would it not do it randomly even on local journeys?

Hi Guys, I’ve got an issue with my rear spoiler, whilst driving on the motorway, twice now, I get a message on the dash stating the rear spoiler fault. It stays open and the switch doesn’t do anything, even after switching off the engine the spoiler remains open. After the cars been parked up for a few hour, it resets itself and remains operational. This hasn’t occurred on local journeys yet.

I’ve got Brembo disc and pads on my A7 found the braking smooth as anything. And got them done at half the price what Audi Leicester quoted me.

Hi, that doesn’t look right to me, it should be to the max line especially if you’ve had it serviced. just check mine and this is after 7000 miles it’s showed this today.

Thanks Steve, but would you know if the updated version does have speed cameras included?

I currently have this version (see attached photo) on my A7 on 2016. If I get it updated to the latest version, will it pin point ‘Speed Cameras’? Leicester Audi quoted me £200 for the latest version, but can not confirm if the maps contain Speed Cameras. I’m. currently using Waze through CarPlay which is fantastic. So is it actually worth me updating the Inbuilt Navigation software? please advise and thank you.

Hi Mike sorry can’t say I have and I hope don’t either, sounds like a right nightmare!! Just out of interest what year is your A7?

Hi mate, Yeah I had the same issue very intermittent it was, but I ended up changing the speaker itself, and problem solved, think it was around £45+vat from Audi, wasn’t in stock so they ordered from the factory.

Hi Steve thanks for your reply, can you tell by looking at the photo attached that my MMI needs updating? If so any ideas on how this can be done or do I have to take it to Audi? thanks again in advance

Is anyone else having issues with in coming calls not displaying caller names on MMI and iPhone 12 device. Every time I connect my iPhone 12 to CarPlay, it causes the phone to change its region, so when I receive calls from my contacts list only the number is displayed not the name. Yet if I check the settings, Language & Region stays the same (Language = English) & (Region = UK). And in my contacts the numbers have spaces (073 344 4444) like this, only way to amend it is to set the region to another country then go back into the settings and change it back to UK. Any ideas please it's doing my nut in!! I've attached a photo of what my MMI is currently on my A7 S-Line Ultra on 66 plate.

Hi newbie here, I recently purchased A7 2016 3.0tdi Ultra Sline in Daytona Pearlescent Grey. I’m looking to get a reversing camera fitted, but I want it close as possible to a factory fitted version or are there better versions that the factory fitted cameras? Any advise or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Steve thanks for your reply, does your car display similar figures like mine? Strange enough I can start the car up after I finish work and yet it will display figures 18-26mpg and that would be on a cold engine start only difference is the ambient temp. would differ somewhat.

I’ve owned my A7 Sline Black Edition For 6 months now. Still can’t believe how lucky I was to get car almost fully loaded. Only thing missing on it is it’s not fully key assist, the doors don’t open with sensors and it doesn’t come with parking camera and doesn’t park itself oh and it’s not a Quattro!! Anyway just wanted to ask other owners if there economy gauge starts off really low like 3.5 or 7mpg then slowly makes it’s way to 15 to 22mpg. Is this because the engine is still cold? Or is there some issue with it??

Yes mate just on the front passenger side, but the annoying thing is it doesn’t distort all the time, in fact at the moment it’s been fine.

Only had my Audi A7 a few weeks now, and just last week I noticed a distortion noise from the front passenger side speaker, So annoying!! this is whilst playing from any media source too, and is also intermittent, not constant at all. I've rang around a few local ICE places, all with random conclusions. One suggests it could be the amp that's blown a channel, Halfords Stores:- first place suggests replacing with £15 4" standard speakers!! Second store initially said 6.5" speakers, then said the car's too new so it needs to be the original fitment from Audi (Part No. 4G2035415) Yet Leicester Audi suggested fitting after market speakers from ICE centres for much improved sound quality. Another local place said it can be replaced by 8" 2-way speakers. Audi are totally useless they can only advise what the car was factory fitted with which is Part No.4G2035415 but can not advise on dimensions, Great Help! Therefore can you guys point me in the right direction please, any advise will be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
