  • ***Aggregate thread on software updates***

    In connection with a routine check in the workshop, we often find out that an update has also been added. These are mostly updates that optimize already existing features – very rarely even some are added. However, since the corrections are not so serious that they take place in the context of a recall action, the updates are played on “next opportunity” and often we don’t notice it at all. However, some people would probably be alone in The idea: whenever someone learns about an upcoming update, they could post this here and at the same time give a brief description. I’m curious to hear your remarks Greeting from Kleinmachnow

  • My Mustard + Questions

    Dear A7 Peders, drive TDi (245 hp, 500 Nm), year 2/12, about 13 000 km. I am very impressed overall – nice design, nice interior, good seating, relaxed fast driving over long distances etc. I have read with respect to individuality that the gentlemen of the rings have targeted a production volume of 220 000 over 7 years. Does anyone have facts about A7 production figures ? On German ABs you do not see the A7 often. Does anyone know what about the A7 export quota (EU, China, USA) ? Unfortunately also a few things that I find suboptimal in the A7 : – Water inlet with stronger rain when opening the tailgate and door (unfortunately one must always have an absorbent cloth at hand). The frameless windows look sporty, but due to design are susceptible to loosening or fluttering fixation in the door rails. Does this happen after some time also (especially if one regularly sweeps the doors to the top with a handle) – to the R some of the windshield you cannot fold and lock the windscreen wiper side of the driver in the basic position. – the engine emits loud howling noise between 1900 – 2100 rpm (in the 7th course of the ST). Quite annoying, especially because it corresponds to about 130 km/h, a speed you have to drive more often because of AB-fullness. I then turn the music up to overtone the howling. Guess it comes from the gas flow in the engine (in the intake channel, turbocharger or exhaust gas). Am I the only one with this Problem or is that known ?? – engine noise in stand and at low speeds (cold) tractor-like. At higher speeds but nothing more audible. – the door seals also seem to close the water drains when closed doors. If the A7 is parked a few days in the rain a lot of water runs out of the doors when opening down. – the slump seats do not look so top class-like – the plastic shells (door pockets, beverage holder middle tunnel, down k Lapping armrests behind) are shabby, thin, cheap and nasty. And feel like that. – the sunroof creates violent vortices and noises with full opening at relatively low speeds. Then you would rather close it fast again (= I would have saved myself better this extra). Otherwise very satisfied !!!! Grützi

  • Keyless Go – on test drive it was still – now it’s gone?

    Hello Together For almost 3 weeks I have been the proud owner of an Audi A7, model year 2011 (1st placing on the market 11/2010). The A7 is really a top car. Unfortunately, it has a good taste. It is about the Advanced Key (Keyless Go) system. I was able to test the system during my two test drives. The salesman explained to me how it works and I was surprised how easy and well the system opens and closes the car. At home I have the brochure and the equipment was studied by my newly acquired A7 and found that the car should not have the Advanced Key System at all. There can be mistakes in the equipment list, so I didn’t think about it any more. After 2 weeks waiting for the delivery I was very pleased to increase the car. He was really nice and powerful there. Unfortunately he didn’t open when I touched the door handle. After a few conversations with the seller, which is also safe, that we tried the Advanced Key functions together, a technician was brought to it. Unfortunately, it could not help too much. He noticed a bug in the access system, but it was only about an empty battery in the key. This was changed immediately; nevertheless, Advanced Key is not possible. Then the chief mechanic was brought to it. After all, he could make two interesting statements: Since the second key for the car was still missing, we have the R Before the car went into the workshop, I noticed something else: the lighting on all the door handles is not possible. Of course, I promptly reported that this might be an indication of Advanced Key problems. The car was in the garage for two days. Not only the door handles were changed, but also winter tyres were installed and a few other things in the interior were installed. Of course, research was also done on the Advanced Key problem and this was done together with Audi in Ingolstadt. But for them it was quickly clear: If it wasn’t ordered, he didn’t. Official statement of the garage after the 2-day stay: The car did not install the Advanced Key System. However, for me this is not a satisfactory answer, because: Therefore, I address myself to you, with the request for help. I am really happy here at the stop and about every little tip or hint. Thanks for your support! Many greetings Till

  • Start-stop drives crazy (do not stop as it should) – BiTDI

    Okay, with the heading, most people will now think: is known, must have. I would like to use the SSA in fact as it is intended, at least sometimes. But she just doesn’t want to run the stop part of her name, or at least very rarely. My journey to work usually looks like this: going off, coming to the first traffic light in cold condition, when the brake is kicked off, the SSA shuts off the cold engine. &#$*!@##! After that, take a comfortable ride over the highway (we take an example of a really comfortable ride with max 150km/h so that the thing can not talk out with hot running turbos).Then a few traffic lights, at which the procedure looks like this without exception: arrive, brake, stop with the brake stop, crossed A in the FIS and the engine stays on. Actually it should go out according to BA with green A in the FIS. But does it not. But: I turn off the thing in “P” immediately. With green A and everything. ründ, why the SSA does not reach, not all apply, in particular the engine is much warmer than at the first traffic light where it still went out unreserved (which he should not at all, because engine cold). And as said, at switch position “P” it also goes out immediately. This behavior always occurs by the way with warm engine, thus also for pure city/road rides. Demand at the so far only a somewhat helpless sounding “there play quite many factors with pure” means. for me “Oh God no idea, this is complicated, please don’t seriously complain”. Well. We’re all just people, except the people who programmed the SSA probably. But maybe someone here has similar experiences and maybe even a solution? MfG, Robert

  • Changes to the A6 after the factory holidays?

    Hello together, when are Audi factory holidays? Will there be changes to the A6 after the factory holidays? After the hesitant start of sales one or the other innovation or variant could be brought. Will one or the other change or correction be made in production? Can it be that the cars produced after the factory holidays are a little bit more mature than the ones currently delivered?
