I think it would need coding a d my advice would be to speak to a retrofitter

Welcome to the forum Greg, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Grey is a good choice or maybe black or gun metal

Welcome to the forum Adrian you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 The a7 is a lovely car, hope you're pleased with your purchase 👍

I'd be checking ball rubber pipes. Was the previous one whistling before it was changed under warranty?

This is a great thread ☺️ thanks for keeping us updated 👍

That looks about right but I'd ask Halfords for advice. Option one was popular back in the day, I'm assuming they're still legal? You still see them on the road.

Think you're 3 options are: 1st. Universal one that attaches to the boot which probably will be the cheapest. 2nd. Roof rack with bike carriers which either can be bought from Halfords or more expensive option of Audi. For this you'll need the roof bars, rack abd bike mounts 3rd. Only applicable if you have a tow bar but you can get towbar mounted ones.

Glad the cars been good up to this point 🙂 as long as they're well maintained they're usually reliable.

Couldn't find it in the forum, but found this: https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/8529/ Allegedly this is the purpose: (Still should have a part number though surely!) "Coolant Expansion Tank with Silicate Repository The coolant expansion tank contains a silicate repository. Silicate is used to protect the aluminum components in the coolant system from corrosion. There are silicates in the G13 coolant, but they are used up over time if the engine is subject to high thermal loads. To compensate for the silicate consumption, silicate is taken from the repository and added to the coolant. The silicate repository provides additional protection against corrosion for the aluminum components in the coolant system over the entire lifespan of the engine."

Without the phone I'm not sure this is possible

Could be an abd wheel sensor. Might be worth having a diagnostic check carried out to confirm this.

It's worth a shot or changing the light board.

Are the front door well carpets wet?

I agree with Gareth, Audi uk needs to be contacted. This isn't normal. If it were done by Audi, the cannisters would have a part number and would be easily ordered from a parts department. If there's no part number it cannot be ordered. Surely fitting something to s coolant system which can cause failure to other components is not logical.

I've never heard of this. Might be worth your mechanic taking nthe system apart, getting the cannisters out to see if they have an Audi part number. If they don't have an Audi part number then I'd say something isnt right

That discoloration is not good. Have you taken it to any hand car washes at all? I ask as some of them use products which aren't designed to be used for cleaning cars. If you've not then I'd be taking it to Audi for them to look at. Regarding the camera cleaning, have you topped up the tank for the nozzle. If so too much solution may have been used. I had a similar issue with my washer jets and I'd put in too much solution and not diluted it enough.

What! That's crazy!

That's interesting, have you informed the garage you bought it from of your findings?

Hope that works 👍 if not I'm wondering if it's the alarm system draining it, especially as you left it unlocked.

I'd be looking at independent Audi specialists in the west mids. I know there's chapman's independent Audi specialist in winston, Leicester or worse case scenario get Audi to fit it

You're welcome, definitely

No worries, but curious now as always wanted to go ace cafe! Great looking a4 too by the way 🙂
