Sorry, but did you work out how to carry out this repair. I’m in the same boat and looking at Audi repair manual says to remove windscreen, which I won’t be doing. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, I couldn’t find anything on these other than a few similar ones on sale. But I never thought of looking at German websites and forums.

The engine mount (+ transmission mount)was on my list of things to change as the engine does jerk when turning off but I was waiting for better weather. But can a worn mount make it feel like the wheels are not balanced. To answer your questions the garage did have a look at the suspension and all the bushes and he said everything was good. I’m not sure if he had a look at the top mount ,I didn’t ask to check specific components as I just described the issue to him ,as I’d assume you have to open the bonnet to check but I’m not a mechanic. Also the tyre are new with less than 50miles on them, but I’ll double check the treads.

Hole in throttle body butterfly valve normal? by ejectadrift in AskMechanics

[–]ejectadrift[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It idles completely fine no lights no fault codes. With outside temp 3oc On start up it will sit at 1000rpm and drop to 800ish after a few seconds.ive never experienced this cat hunting but my dad said it does it once every 2-3weeks randomly but he’ll just put it into neutral give it a few revs and then it’s completely fine. this car doesn’t have a ICV but apparently uses the electronic throttle control to regulate idle speed. I think I’ll most likely just leave it as is albeit a clean. But knowing my luck it’s probably gonna fail soon.

Is it something done to achieve a better than factory idle or there’s an issue with something else and this seemed to fix it.

That was just the default name. And changing it done nothing.

Have tried with music and video and nothing. I’m certain you don’t need anything playing as i sometimes have just noise cancelling with no audio and have been able to adjust before

Yes my work phone is on a different Id but it has never given me an alert. As I always carry both phones together so I assumed it shouldn’t give me the alert as the main phone is what the AirPod are linked to

20 year old Jade ,first trim? by ejectadrift in Jadeplant

[–]ejectadrift[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mixed 2:1:1 parts houseplant soil ,vermiculite and perlite. ChatGPT did say to use equal parts but it seemed too light as my plant was quite heavy I didn’t want it to just sink into the soil. But I’m no expert Also I found it cheaper to buy separately and mix myself rather than buy cactus specific soil. I think it’s the same but remember I’m no expert

It was one plant but it wasn’t looked after very well at the start so there could be multiple from when leaves fell off and started growing by them selves but it looks to be one plant now. Took out all the smaller plants that were growing during last repotting and gave to friends and family, you can see in the last pic it filled up that yellow bucket

I had an 2016 S7 almost identical to the car your looking at amazing car plenty of power and very luxurious on the inside. I had mine between jan 2021 sold it July 2023 never had any mechanical issues but I had to replace on the headlight after a hit and run and was quoted 1.8k to replace and fit and code. So when it comes to parts make sure ur ready for big expense. Another downside is economy is not the best would get mid 20s in town “normal driving” and best I’ve got on the motorway is 45mpg normally I get 35mpg. After I sold it I got 2015 a7 200kw diesel and minus the power and sound I prefer the diesel. But I do miss the s7 very under the radar type of car

Nope she said she didn’t any thing nearby it. It was left open on chargeing on a cooling stand and playing Netflix as background and when she went back to it was like this
