    This is the only youtube channel that gives guidance on replacing the trunk light unit using the "U" shaped bracket and he is exactly correct. When removing the light the bracket might fall into the trunk leading you to believe it is installed after the light is put in place and then the bracket attached from the underside of the trunk lid. However, as Audi C7 explains, the bracket is replaced on the light fixture before being reinstalled in the trunk lid. While pressing the light fixture in place there will be an audible click when the bracket snaps over the lip of the lid.

    Do these have built in resistors to fool the canbus into believing they are 12v and not throw up dash lights?

      If a cop runs the plate everything will come up correctly, but technically it isn't a DOT approved plate.

    Hey, fantastic videos. I'm having trouble removing the upper bolt on the inside taillight housing (the one that you warn to not drop inside the trunk lid) on both sides. It turns but doesn't come out. Am I missing something,or am I just that unlucky and they're both stripped?

    • @AudiC7Owners
      @AudiC7Owners  Рік тому +2

      Sounds like something is wrong. You can gently pull the tail light towards you show unscrewing it to see if it comes out

    • @AudiC7Owners
      @AudiC7Owners  Рік тому +1

      I do not. That's indicative of a failed seal. I'd start by removing my tail lights & inspecting for damage where the lens meets the housing

    How long do the timing chains last on the 3.0s? I’ve been looking at getting one of these cars and I know that’s a big cost.

    • @sarcastixx74
      @sarcastixx74 Рік тому +1

      Audi say chains should be replaced around 80k miles on the 3.0T's. Thing to listen out for is chain slap on a cold start, if it lasts more than a couple of seconds or more importantly for any length of time on a warm start then it's time to replace. Until that happens then it is ultimately down to how good the cars been looked after, especially the oil service history. Always make sure when going to view one of these that the engine has been left at least overnight before starting, preferably longer if possible. It can take a while for the oil to fully drain away from the chain tensioners, especially in the post 2012 models.
