2007 MY Cars and Brakes

[RS-4-Me]

Hello,

I've see a few ads now for 2007 facelift cars and the obvious difference being the clear front indicator lenses but were there any other changes?

Also does anyone know how long a set of disk and pads last? Front and rears under normal road use.

Thanks.

Silly one this but if it has a stereo rather than Nav, the knobs have silver highlights for 2007

A quick scan parts catalogue ETKA reveals numerous running changes including a revised intake manifold towards the end of 2007 model year production.

1. Clear indicators
2. Chrome trim in square buttons that run across above nav unit
3. There's a 3rd difference which I only learnt recently on here but can't quite remember right now; a difference in the sat nav maybe? Hang on, its comin to me lol, 07 spec sat nav has traffic thingy? ( TMS or whatever )

TMC comes with the nav disk version, not as part of the RNS-E's features. And are you sure about the silver trim on the dash buttons as mine have that on the ESP button but not the RNS-E buttons and my car is a July '06.

[neckarsulm]

P_G do you have orange or clear front indicators?
It's possible a mid 2006 registered car could be a 2007 model year as the model year starts in around May of the previous year.

Just to confuse you.... I've got orange indicators (which I quite like....) and chrome buttons.

[P_G]

OEM orange indicators.

[neckarsulm]

ok, I didn't say chrome buttons apart from on radio (if no nav)!
To be sure the chassis number will reveal all, the number before the N at the end is model year.

Just check 2 earlier 06 MY cars and they don't have chrome on the switches

1. Clear indicators

Not all 2007MY cars have clear indicators - mine is a 2007MY (according to the VIN) but it has amber indicators. Clear indicators was a running change introduced in about September 2006.

2. Chrome trim in square buttons that run across above nav unit

This was introduced in early 2006, so later 2006MY cars will also have the chrome trim.

3. There's a 3rd difference which I only learnt recently on here but can't quite remember right now; a difference in the sat nav maybe? Hang on, its comin to me lol, 07 spec sat nav has traffic thingy? ( TMS or whatever )

As already said that's a feature of the nav DVD in use not the model year of the car.

Mine has silver leather, and a silver headlining - I got fed up of the usual Audi "Black Hole of Calcutta" look. I didn't realise it was that rare a choice?

did that cost extra of no-cost option?

[RS-4-Me]

Thanks for all the replies guys.

aka_dk - yes I know, not many around is there but hopefully the right one will come along eventually. If I haven't found one within the next 4-5 months I'll have to revise my wish list. TBH I'll consider Mugello and Phantom too.

PetrolDave - a rare and good choice. Think it's cos most went for the buckets which were black only unless you went the Exclusive route.

Neckarsulm - Thanks and I have seen that add. Tis very nice but no FBSW and it's a little out of my price range at the moment.

From what I understand the silver seats/headlining it was a no cost option.
