That would be great if you could 👍 Cheers Steve

Can't say I've used one but you'll find not all of them are compatible with steering wheel controls Cheers Steve

320bhp 470lb ft torque. Again the gains will depend on the tuner. And it should be run on a rolling road for best results. For example: https://www.celtictuning.co.uk/services/performance-stats/audi/a6-c7-2011-2018/diesel/3-0-tdi-241-bhp-2011-ECU-remap-chiptuning/stage-1 https://www.ecovehicletuning.co.uk/audi-a6-c7-3-0-tdi-ecu-remap/ https://www.onlyrevo.com/product-details/software/audi/a6-c7-2011-/224/stage-1 Also bear this in mind: "The key is HOW the power is delivered; some companies really spike the torque at low RPM’s and this is what will kill your gearbox. With regards to the limits of the S Tronic box if it its 600Nm then thats approx 440lbs ft. I believe post 2012 245bhp engines run 429lbs ft torque standard(?) which doesn't leave much headroom and is unusual for the VAG group as most things have a decent amount of tolerance built in A properly developed map won't hit the box with a slug of torque; it should be smooth and progressive."

Mechanically AMK and BAM are the same... VVT, no SAI, wideband lambda, EGT probe.... biggest change was APY to AMK... chances are Audi would have retained the AMK code if it hadn't decided to up the power to 225 so fitting it should be the same. also found this which might help: https://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?3248273-***Oil-Catch-Can-DIY***#/topics/3248273 https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/guide-how-to-fit-a-catch-can-and-simplify-the-pcv-system.118021/ cheers Steve

Please keep us posted on how you get on 👍

Hi Duncan, I've found this be workshop manual which may help: https://workshop-manuals.com/audi/q7_quattro/v6-3.6l_(bhk)/body_and_frame/doors_hood_and_trunk/trunk/liftgate/trunk/liftgate_interior_trim_panel/component_information/service_and_repair/removal_and_replacement/rear_lid_trim_component_overview/ Cheers Steve

Hi Duncan yes they can be painted. On S line trim they come pre painted. Cheers Steve

Good suggestion Duncan 👍

This night help: Cheers Steve

I'd check your fuses and in failing that you could take off the boot panel to inspect the rear wiper motor and check with a multimeter. Cheers Steve

That does sound frustrating. I'd take it back to the dealer to show them the issue. Cheers Steve

Not a problem 😊 Usually start/stop not working can come down to a failing battery. As the system will only turn the engine off if there's plenty of charge in the battery abd the engine is up to an adequate temperature. As the car doesn't want to run the risk of turning off abd not starting again. Let's hope the battery resolved the issue 👍 Cheers Steve

Before a remap is carried out it's best to have the car fully serviced and in fine fettle. Did he not say what was blocked? Or air, fuel, oil systems etc. Cheers Steve

You're welcome, glad we could help 🙂 7ft/lbs is the torque setting for the rocker cover. I'd do it in a alternating pattern too. And I'd start off finger tightening before using a torque wrench. cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Ian, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Lovely looking Audi you have there 👍 Cheers Steve

Has that fixed it now then? 🙂

Removal of a gearbox can be a big job depending on what model of car it is. I bet they're playing it safe mind. A clutch shouldnt go at 27k under normal driving conditions. If the pedal has gone to the floor then I'd agree with the AA diagnosis. What I'll suspect they'll do if they find it's the hydraulic system, replace the relevant part under then try and get you to pay for a new clutch. As it's under warranty this should be changed anyway as there would be no point fitting a used clutch but Audi should pay this. I'd wait to see what they come back and say the problem is. Also I trust you have a copy of the AA report as evidence if required? Cheers Steve

Hi there, I believe it's the bulb failure light. My advice would be to check to see if a bulb has blown. If it's a brake light then it'll bing at you when you press the brake too. Cheers Steve

Fantastic Chris, glad you got it fixed easily and cheaply 🙂 Cheers Steve

If you're asking what mods are available on the 2.5tdi then you'll be disappointed as I don't believe there's many. You could always fit an induction kit, sports exhaust and a remap. I know on the a6 c5 which have this engine on a original tune of tune of either 150bhp (like mine) or in Quattro form/allroad had 180bhp. But the 180bhp variant had an updated fuel pump I believe. If you've got 150bhp version then you might need the upgraded fuel pump if you want to go beyond 180. Cheers Steve

If it were me I'd try a local auto locksmith. It's what I've done previously. If you go to Audi, expect to pay for £300 I recon. Cheers Steve
