With that miles I'd avoid diesel as you'll end up with blocked dpf or egr.
-
They share the same platform so would drive similarly. The benefit of the rs6 is more practicality due to the bigger boot. But the rs7 is rarer.
-
Wheels might make a slight difference to ride. So it depends on which you prefer. The upgraded sound system is B&O so any car with that would be good for you if you like music.

Take a look at YouTube buyers guides. The a7 is a lovely car. You have to determine what features are essential to you like sat nav, parking sensors, Bluetooth etc as a lot of these things are extras or part of tech packs etc. Also if it's auto make sure it's had the gearbox oil services on time and same if it's got a quattro system. If quattro make sure all tyres have even wear and the brands match on each axle as either mis matched tyres or uneven wear can damage the quattro system.

Have you had wet footwells? If the ccm has got wet this often wrecks it. Might be worth getting a diagnostic check.

Great bit of advice 👍

Start up warnings lead to Dealer taking the micky
Steve Q replied to RohitGrg's topic in Audi A4 (B9) Forum
I'd definitely be getting a second opinion. As main dealers will often try and upsell work. -
Soft Top Roof seems very noisy ie wind noise when driving
Steve Q replied to charles.mcleod's topic in Audi A4 (B7) Forum
Hey Charles, I know the rear window stitching and glue can come unstuck letting water in. Also it's worth checking there are no gaps between the windows a d roof. Might be worth looking at changing any rubber seals as I suspect they'll start to become brittle due to age. -
Audi a4 b7 2009 registration date - 16V or 8V version
Steve Q replied to wojce89's topic in Audi A4 (B7) Forum
Surely the engine number should tell a parts shop which one it is? In failing that an Audi parts department should be able to tell you. Also this link might help: https://www.torquecars.com/volkswagen/2-0-tdi-140-170-tuning.php -
I dont think you can. I know you couldn't on my dad's 2013 model.

You're welcome 😊
-
You've done a great amount of diagnostic work already which is great. It could be a failing abs module, especially if it's flagging up as an issue on the diagnostic check or failing abs sensors
-
Definitely avoid cheap sets and cheap ebay sets.
-
Can't the vents be unscrewed or unclipped?
-
Tats good then. I've got some for mine which I've still not fitted yet.
-
If it's under the floor a lot of modules are under the passenger front footwell I believe.
-
No probs. Sorry you're struggling to get one.
-
If it's coming from china it could take ages.

Welcome to the forum Chris you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch ☺️ I've done some road trips in my a6 which you'll find info on in the road trip section 👍
-
You're welcome 😊 yea they're good quality products.
-
Definitely speak to retrofitting companies in your area. Bluetooth could be installed via a parrot kit if you're looking the easy option.
-
Hope it works ok 👍
-
Thanks for the heads up 👍
-
You've done what you can as you'll need it in black and white from the manufacturer in order for dvla to change it. Might be worth you looking at specialist car insurance like Adrian flux or footman James who specialise in oddities.
-
Was the part number matching to the original one. A diagnostic check might be a good idea too.
