Re: SERVO FAILURE !!! 12.000 km !!!

exactly what i am thinking...a broken belt. while not supposed to happen with so few miles/km, they do occasionally fail. melodrama over.

Re: Here have another two

very nice. the appearance is much less frentic without the "stripper shoes" 20 inch wheels. flowing and all os a piece, and cobalt is spot on in S-Line. why oh why did they forego AAS?

Re: Mistake...should read 750 N-m (550 ft-lbs)...Sorry

close shave! i would be more comfortable with some strengthening to add some additional cushion. 580 horespower is nonetheless appealing...but i would pass.

Re: interesting link , whats your views?

bye-bye transmission. they indicated no modification or strengthening of key drivetrain components to handle an additional 108 ft/lbs of torque!

Re: Garnet Red/Blk

yes garnett red works quite well on the Q7, and I like the 19 inch wheels. For me they give the Q a very refined grown-up look, functional as opposed to flashy. Nice choices.
