Not been on here in a while so apologies for the late reply. So you are exactly right. There’s black tar deposits on the cylinder head. The garage I brought it to tapped and sealed the hole but it didn’t work. When I was driving my car stalled a few times and went to limp mode. This was...

Correction: I meant the head, not the head gasket. May need a cylinder head replacement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey mate how’s it going? So, they replaced the exhaust manifold completely as they said it had cracked. I drove it out for a test drive. Once the engine was warm I thought I would put it through its paces and there was a loud noise which sounded like a seal had blown in the engine. They...

So they’ve found that the manifold it’s self has cracked and that’s why it was chuffing on idle. Repairs and labour at £882. They said they will take off £30 for military discount so pretty happy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not posted on here for a while! Here’s a few of my A7. Fitted the Maxton Design splitter a few weeks back as well as fitting a full RS7 carbon interior, steering wheel and RS6 pedals. Really enjoying working on it. So rewarding when you take it out for a drive. It’s got high milage (135000)...

Sorry for the late one. It still drinks oil but then again I do rag the car in sport quite frequently. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

SOLVED. Late post on this but it turned out an injector was misfiring and I needed a new turbo. £1300. All fixed and it runs lovely

That’s true. Apparently the garage I brought it to drained off the excess oil but there’s been no movement on the MMI oil gauge. It’s in the garage tomorrow so I’ll post the outcome. I did speak to a specialist and they said it the timing chain may need replacing. Sent from my iPad using...

Yo guys, so I recently bought a 2011 A7. The oil gauge on the MMI was at around halfway which from my prev experience with my old A7 meant that it needed topping up to read full. I didn’t realise until afterwards that the MMI level was off and doesn’t match the real level and consequently...
