Hi Guys,
We had an A7 (66 plate) back in 2018 and we noticed the windows were rubbing really bad (loud squeal), at the point we were embarrassed when rolling them down to speak to someone, or at a drive thru etc. I was wondering if the A7's still do this because they don't have the frame around...

A bit of good news regarding a recent software update apparently, makes the car more responsive gear changes and smoother, which has been tested

Ok, I've just been speaking about the gear/acceleration delay on a thread of mine regarding the delay coming to a roundabout, junction

So am I right Audi have...
haha,
No after say its been raining, or when you've just washed the car.....
There's always one ;) lol
In fact, looking back, I think it actually squealed when it was dry... anyway! It's the regulators :)
You have never noticed a squeak when you roll them down and back up? WoW !! You must be a first ;)

So the way around it is when you reach a round about and see you have space, use the paddle and drop it a gear
Going to try that when I get home from working abroad, I might still go an see this BiTDi myself then and see how it is :)
She loves her Q5 and will kill me if I trade it in....but...
I watched a Youtube video last night, which brings another reason, which is quite possible due to the Gears.
The guy said when your slowing down, for example to a roundabout from 5th then 4th (auto), if you decide to go for it because you have space, the car does not drop the gear to 3rd, it...
Ok going back to this Lag issue,
I’ve been reading on other forums that the car can ‘learn’ whether your an aggressive driver or conservative. Could the A7 BiTDi eventually learn when you put the foot down it means go...not wait and delay.
Also would a remap fix the issue of the delay or is...
My other half took it out for a test Drive yesterday and was not impressed with the take off at junctions/roundabouts, it was exactly like the delay in the Q5, half the time I'm shouting at the Q5 to hurry up and go go go. So much for 320 PS :(
I think it's back to the drawing board and stick...
Hi guys,
We currently have the Q5 2016 Special Edition Suzuka grey but the panoramic sunroof is doing my absolute head in, it just doesn't stop creaking. A new sunroof was fitted but the noise returned with a few months. That and the fact I miss the power of our old A7 S-Tronic a couple years...
What is the actual determined cause of this tinkling noise, has anyone properly identified what’s causing it, anything in writing?
It honestly sounds like I have a tiny drummer playing a snare but the snare is metal and the drum sticks are metal
Thanks for the help, So I’ll ask them to ******...
Is buying that cetane a temp fix which will only last for the duration of the full tank, as there isn’t really much point if it’s going to return really
It if I change the fuel to the higher Diesel octane it may help, but why does increasing the octane help with these matters?
I still have...
Hi Leigh,
I’ve actually had the window down fully and accelerated from stop and heard the tinkling noise coming from the engine, it’s a Diesel the A7
It was pretty much a tinkle a second before the gear changed, this happened from 1st, 2nd to third. I don’t hear it all the time which is...
I’m taking a hit but I can’t be done with this car anymore mate, it’s def not anything to do with heat shields
Also the car windows are squealing when the open and close which is a known issue
And the Air con is making a funny noise
That and the fact the Diff went a few months ago...I’m done...
After having the car in for the window squeal to be fixed (which it hasn't) and will need to be booked in again
With the windows down we hear a sort of pinking/tinkling noise coming from the Engine when increasing the revs, this tinkling noise can only be heard on low increasing revs. It is...
Hey guys,
Can anyone advise if it’s normal why some engines tinkle (or another name pinking) when increasing the acceleration from stand still.
I read somewhere it could be something to do with the fuel not being injected at the correct amount or something like that and only requires a...
You would think so mate
But apparently that point check is only a tick box if the car is young
They just rattle through the ticks and not even check the car
