I just got a notice saying that Audi needs to inspect and possibly replace my ignition coil but my dealer knows nothing about it. And this is 2 days before a road trip! Has anyone had ignition coil failure?

Thanks a million! jan
Hi, I just bought an Audi Q7. It is awesome but I am find one annoying problem. Does anyone else notice the dashboard reflection in the windsheild? Also the drivers side mirror reflects in the window. Both these things are distracting. Any solutions out there?
Thanks a million! jan
Are you sure it said CD on the player and not DVD?
1) The front parking lights (located in the bumper next to the turn signal light) - my Q7 arrived with a white bulb on one side and a yellow bulb on the other. When the dealership and I looked at other Q7's on the lot, all the others had yellow bulbs on both sides.
2) The cargo cover in my 7 seater is not the one that can be folded. From what I can tell, they must have two versions - one which doesn't fold for the 5 seater config and one that will fold in half for 7 seater config? Does anyone know if this is true. It makes sense, since otherwise, if you can't fold it in half, it won't fit in the remaining cargo area, and you would have to remove the entire contraption every time you want to use the third row of seats. Any thoughts would be appreciated. :confuse:
Otherwise, I've been very happy with it. Great vehicle!
I love my Q7, and have every faith in Audi. This is my 4th and not my last Audi.
Just picked up my new Q7 4.2 Premium and hooked up an LG8100 bluetooth cell phone (Verizon) and a Valentine One Radar detector. The LG's address book DID not transfer, although the info from the Audi site does not indicate the phone to be fully compatible.
The Valentine One was going off nearly constantly throughout a 300 mile drive - to the point of being useless.
I've had a V1 for years, so I pretty much know what to expect from it - and this was not it. My first thought was the Audi Side Assist. Perhaps I thought, Side Assist uses Radar and that may be tripping up the V1. I turned Side Assist on and off - no change.
Then I noticed that when I powered off the phone the V1 started working as expected. Very weird - cell phones and bluetooth are different frequencies than Radar - or so I thought.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions?
Their explanation (a guess) is that the under arm rest single player is standard, but with the 6 CD player, there is nothing to take up the space left if the single is removed. We're going to find out. If you opted for the lease package of roughly $550 per month with $2500 down, you must notice all the superfluous buttons lacking functions- various extras we weren't entitled to. Audi needs to work on it's control panel and button arrangement, as it is obviously not completely thought through yet. Annoying , but in the end a pretty good car, so these issues are easily overlooked.
Did you by chance get a 7 seater, and if so, does your cargo cover fold in half for storage?
The tour was awesome - highly recommended if you're ever in Germany.
My only other issue is a rattling with the sun visor inthe rear, and the glass roof itself "creaks" somewhat. The latter, I suspect is simple to fix, and I hope the former works itself out in the next 2000 miles.
Definitely not DVD, no navigation option - and it shows up on the dash display as "CD7".
My wife is really annoyed, because there is no convenient place to store extra keys, makeup, parking passes, change, etc.
I'll let you know how it plays out. I too cited the Edmund's forums as a source of information. I expect that the dealership also monitors the forums. If not, they should because no one there could understand or offer an explanation for the CD configuration, which in itself appears to be an acknowledgement that it was an error on the part of Audi.
I offered to pay for labor, but they obviously did not want to start digging, and suggested the other CD player might be rendered unusable. No big deal, but certainly sets the tone for further dealings (which presumably are inevitable). Hard to believe a company of this stature 1) makes this stupid kind of mistake, and 2) doesn't bend over backwards to correct it.
Generally we take every newly launched luxury SUV in trade within two to three months of its launch date.
That more then anything else tells me it must be fairly well done.
It operates down to ZERO MPH, but does it provide emergency stops like the MB?
Does it have to be affimativly engaged to operate down to zero?
If the answers to the above are NO then what exactly is the reasoning behind the "active to ZERO MPH"
Did you ever get your Q7 fixed????
Keep me posted and let me know if your dealer mechanic is smarter than mine.
Any luck with your dealership fixing the clicking noise? :sick:
I have also had an oil pressure light come on once, then go off, never to return. And then the other day, my Q was idling too high when I was stopping at stop lights, and it made the Q "bump" forward every time the idle would pick up. It ended up going away, and hopefully will not return again. STILL love my Q, however!
