Hi all, just wondering if any members have any experience with an A7 as a towing vehicle? Now, I haven't designed it this way but the OH has decided we need a caravan to holiday in during these covid times, which I'm OK with but wanted to know if anyone had caravan towing experience with an A7...

THQuattro, so it appears his stated figures are there abouts regards achievable gains which gives me some comfort knowing he isn't talking 'pie in the sky' figures. Sussex is too far away from me also but thanks anyway. Gaz

Thanks for the responses guys. I've found a local tuner who is stating he can carry out a ECU remap via OBD to give increases as follows: STD power 268bhp to 325bhp (+53). STD torque 580Nm to 680Nm (+100). From what I've established via research etc, these figures are about right for what can...

Yes I am aware of Bobby's skills and knowledge in this area and he would be an ideal choice but as you say, he is some distance away from me which is an issue. I definitely would prefer a custom map so this probably narrows my options even further with regards to competent providers of this...

I honestly don't know? Again I'd have to be led by others and experiences and opinions on what's best. I want a remap to basically achieve power gains and improve the driveability of the car with regards to getting rid of flat spots and throttle response delay etc. Gaz

Hi folks, I'm looking for any recommendations of providers to get my A7 3.0tdi 272ps remapped now it is out of warranty but I'd rather not have to travel too far to get it done. Any info as to where I could get this done as local to me as possible would be appreciated. I'm in rural Hereford...

Yep, sounds about right from my own investigations so the moral of the story is simple.......don't buy Dunlop's! I'm most definitely going to get mine changed as soon as I can (or when my wallet allows!).

I don’t think such a tyre exists. They all cost £240+ A7 3.0tdi 272 Black Edition Mythos Black Tech pack Yep again you're right, I can't find anything cheaper so I'll have to just cough up lol.

You're quite right Bishop187, I've checked and they don't! Anyone got any recommendations for 21's that don't cost the earth yet are going to offer acceptable performance? Gaz

Same problem with rear tyres cutting for me too! Just had MOT and advisory for both rears showing this. Not sure if it's a problem for Dunlop Sport Maxx or the A7 Quattro or both? I'm running 275/30/21's on my B/E but now loathed to replace with Dunlop's. They ain't cheap and don't last from my...

Sure does look good Jonny! A beauty!

Mick, I would apply some rational here, some oils are way more expensive and you pay for the name and what they claim is to be superiority over others but if they are all recommended oils and you plan to change on a regular basis then the cheaper oils are absolutely fine in my opinion. Of...

Good luck Mick. You will know if its 'the one'. I found mine after testing just one other before it and they were streets apart with regards condition etc. First one only 40k miles but in poor condition. The second one 58k miles but mint condition and one hell of a spec list! Ended spending more...

Hi Mikey, how did you get on with your bulb change? I had the same issue and hated the yellow interior lights compared to the rest of the cars LED lighting. Why they don't fit them as standard is a mystery really as they are so much better. I did some research and ended up buying some off...

Looking smart Phil, it's a great colour indeed but not so gleaming this time of year hey!

My 272 BE doing about the same gents. Low 30's in Auto around town but much less if my right foot weighs heavy and even less in Dynamic mode! I suppose we don't own these cars because of their economy figures though hey! I am toying with getting a TDI Tuning plug in chip to improve fuel...

Millsy4002 - thanks for that, makes good sense so I will post in the A6 section too. holmefield - thanks for your response, I am a little sceptical of the touted gains from the box manufacturers hence why I am asking members for real life experiences. I know a remap is the proper way to go and...

Hi all, I'm seriously thinking of adding a plug and play chip box but wanted to gauge opinions on 2 specifically - I've narrowed it down to either the RaceChip RS @£349 or TDI tunings box at £296? They appear to offer similar gains in power and economy with the TDI Tuning unit claiming slightly...

Mark, Also forgot to mention that an easy way to spot a facelift model is look at the tail pipes. Facelift has trapezoidal tail pipes and pre has round (my trapz in pic). Gaz

Hi Mark, My understanding to try and answer your questions are as follows: The facelift models were introduced starting in late 2014. My car is a 64 plate registered in Jan 15 and is a facelift model. At this time the engine range was also changed to offer different options. Pre facelift...
