Hi. I have an audi q7 2010 that was parked for 2 weeks. After getting the car started cause it had a flat battery the driver side and drivers rear did not lift up whereas the passenger side and passenger rear has lifted. I did have the yellow light on the dash which has been on for a couple of months now the code i got from that was the 01772 code but the air system worked fine. Now going over bumps is very uncomfortable as there is no air on one side of the vehicle

I’ve not long bought an Audi Q7 2009. The yellow warning light comes in after a few mins driving. When I start it things work perfectly at all heights but then it drops into automatic and the light comes on. I think….it’s front left that’s the problem. I don’t have a diagnosis tool yet and I’m in free fall panic that I’ve bought a pup. Cars done 134k and otherwise perfect so far. Please be gentle ! thanks Dave

I have a 2012 Audi A6/C7 3.0 V6 TFSI with adjustable air suspension which has just been a nightmare. After changing all 4 air bags and the relay, it took just a few months before it dropped again on all four corners. I just want this nightmare to end. I've decided to convert to coils and settled on the ST kit for my car. The problem is ST doesn't want to sell it to me! My local dealer said the kit is not applicable to units with adjustable dampening/level control. But thats the whole point! I just want to convert to normal springs and never have to worry again. If its just warning lights on the dash coming up after the conversion I can live with that. If theres a way to cancel those errors, I'd really appreciate the instructions. I'm really looking for is someone who has a 2012-2014 A6 or A7 (C7), S6 or Allroad with the air suspension who has converted to coils. Pls., pls. let me know: 1) If the ST coils will work out. Will they fit without issues or do I need to buy any additional parts? - https://www.ecstuning.com/b-suspensi...g/1321000b~st/ 2) If you didn't use the ST's? What coilovers did you use? 3) Are the level controls/EDC going to be an issue after the conversion? Or is it just warning lights? 4) How to cancel/code-out the lights? Praying someone will help end this nightmare. Thank you.

hello I have a few questions does all 2012 audi q7 tdi prestige sline has a adaptive air suspension? thanks for attention.

Me again! Now yet another error appearing - well three - on the dash - all yellow and all adaptive systems. Nothing has been done to the car apart from new discs and shoes all round. Driving to shop (7 miles away) and back, at about 9 miles the air suspension light comes on - rapidly followed by the adaptive headlamp failure and then the ACC and Brake . I drive home and try changing car height - works - each driving mode works. Plug in and clear all codes - nope. Switch off and clear again - all clear. No issues when starting. Just now - been on a short run - and at about 8 miles all three again. Home and tried to clear. Same cycle as yesterday. So - layman's theory - these are all adaptive systems, so probably some sensor issue. Or is it related to having new brakes on the front, and I doubt any calibration took place after installation, if that was necessary. So - A6 hivemind - anyone had this, or anyone know what to look for?

Dear firends, i have a Q7 3.0 TDI quattro 2007 model. The Adaptive Air Suspension has problem to work and i have changed the compressor with new one. While i am expecting that my problem shall over, opposite problem has become more serious. Now my problem is; air adaptive suspension compressor is working but launching constantly without control. Compressor launchs anytime while driving the car for 15-30 seconds and stops, but launchs again couple minutes later. We have change the axle tie rods also but still problem is valid. We could not find the reason of why the compressor launchs random as it wishes.I need your opinions. Thanks advance for all..

Hi All, so just on a month in ownership of a Mk1 Q7 Sline 3.0TDI. bought it for about £5.5k 2007 so not new (read 'needs a couple of jobs) - maybe a bit rushed - but odd times and needed to resolve a motor quickly. Issues and routes of action. 1. replaced the rear washer/wiper. Easy job,load of tutorials on you tube etc. This was corroded and seized. Made a lot of noise (so motor was trying to do something - but did nothing seized/rusted solid. new motor from ebay, WD40 to unfreeze a bolt holding the wiper arm on - probably the most awkward bit of the job.. and it was done in about 30 mins. - only guidance I can give, is the plastic spray nozzle was also blocked - managed to get a very fine drill bit down the shafts of this and now it all works perfectly. 2. air blower motor (passenger side dashboard), squeaking. Removed and lubricated with some lithium grease - takes about an hour due to taking time with dash and looms. - bit jiggly but certainly do-able. See how this holds up not convinced it will be a long term fix - but certainly worked - again loads of vids and advice out there - just followed it. (I did managed to get the housing apart - some vids just showed spraying in blindly... 3. P2112 /P2011/P2008. Think this will be the throttle actuators - heard they either become gunked or the plastic cogs thread over time - I have flagged this to the garage i bought the car from - hope they will resolve, if not I'll have a look and feedback. (would rather they try the engine related issue under warranty first) 4. Airbag light has come on. I did manage to get this to go off after jiggling yellow cable under the seat - but its on again.. again not gone too far just flagged this back to the garage will feedback shortly. 5. Im a bit bemused /confused by the air suspension I get a green light with an arrow and its in dynamic - this does not go out - if I move it to comfort it may go out - but the whole thing seem erratoc flagging unavailable modes often. pondering if I have a compressor issue.. again flagged this to garage this weekend. (I have flagged all these issues this weekend, again if there is an issue its likely to cost so flagged them first. - (heard of kits to refresh seals etc..) 6. Bubbles in paintwork, I did ponder doing these myself but metallic and kingfisher blue - so instead opted for the body shop to respray all panals leavign the bonnet and roof alone. - goign in tomorrow - will paste the results! 7. FOB - easy job just replaced the fob casing on key just makes it nice. 😉 8. Left Dash Vent replaced (fins broken) - 5 minute job. Still pondering: a fuel economy or general remap. Grill replacement or redye (all back) LED light conversions - anyone done this any advice, heard fo some as direct replacement - unsure about errors on bus..? MMI uplift I have the lowest one - TBH Bluetooth FM transmitter is working ok vs what would be a major task... just thought Id discuss my journey so far anyone interested please feedback - any advice etc always welcomed. 🙂
