Former Owner Of My RS7 Explains Damage On The Car..

[@C7R35]

My wife has an Fi exhaust and downpipe on her RS7 which sounds amazing. The car is silent when the valves are closed, which also eliminates drone, but when the valves are open it gets very loud. We paired them with a DME Stage 2 tune for a complete package.

[@bladejames8208]

So glad you picked up this RS7. I am an Audi/VW/Porsche fan boy, lol. I have owned Audis, TTs, SQ5, S3, RS3 and a few others. Owned many VWs including newer GTI and Golf R. They always are faster than rated and surprisingly over deliver based on cost. I recently bought my first new Porsche a 21 911 C4S last September, awd twin turbo 3.0 flat 6cyl. Porsche rates it at 0-60 in 3.4....... ha, the C2S (RWD) nails 0-60 all day long in 3.0 seconds dead. I am easily able to nail 3.0 dead in the summer all day long. Best time I have gotten so far has been a 2.79 on a cool 58 degree night after 20 minutes of just regular driving "must have warmed the tires 0 spin, complete hook and go" as any weather near 60 degrees or lower during a launch the with the OEM Ultra High Performance Summer Pirelli tires , it will spin all 4. Again, big fan of this RS7, your R8 "I am the guy from NC who called trying to buy it after seeing your first video shopping for it where you were "in the video , unsure", they told me it was sold, had a deposit on it, lol "you obviously". Can't wait to see what you do with this RS7.

[@stealthhtm23]

same here. manual V8 straight piped S5, that I miss dearly. sounded incredible. S3, stage 2 RS3 0-60 2.95 rocket. 21’ RS5. looking to get the RS6 Avant next. Audi fanboy for life! lol

[@freddiejones4598]

If you’re going to do a wrap do merlin purple. It’s an Audi colour and will suit it well

[@ynk-4372]

Agreed 👍🏽

[@Rgdarkchild]

I vote this

[@DRmuawia]

Yeah 100% closest option is the option 3 he said

[@rayzin4]

That is the same colour as my A3 8P. Merlin purple, in the light it's a bright metallic purple 💜 but when it's parked in the garage it looks much darker like a plum / black colour. So far I am the only person I've seen with it here in BC Canada 🇨🇦. Love that colour!. 🙌🏽

[@stevesmith8854]

I so Agree 👍🏻👍🏻

[@darrylm79]

I absolutely LOVE this car. It is truly a gentleman's car. Very soft and subdued when cruising, and an animal when you want it to be. Dude - congratulations! Can't wait for all the content!

[@richardlarwill4746]

I actually own that RS7 that's wrapped as a "Midnight Crismon Bloom"-not blue and it's by CKWraps. I have downpipes and a stage 2 Unitronic tune with lots of snaps, crackles and pops. I love it.

[@Dutty2zero1]

Happy I'm subscribed to your channel. I recently bought an RS5, went from a 6-speed A5 and unfortunately it was totaled. But everything you've described about the RS7, I've felt the same way with the RS5. Absolutely love it, the sound, performance, and beauty!

[@danm5055]

As a former car dealer here in Canada, I'd pick the blue you had in mind. Greater resale value for the demographics of that model of car

[@staceythomas6147]

Resale isn't a consideration here. The wrap can easily be removed, and protects the original paint while on.

[@charlieedwards4755]

The lack of violence is what surprised me about those S/RS7’s! You just mash the gas and you’re doing 100 mph. Doesn’t even feel like your head is being snapped back, you’re just there 😂

[@cdcoulson]

APR/DS1 Stage 2 and/or larger turbos changes that quite a bit. As does race gas/E85. These things make a shitload of torque. Not uncommon to get sub-3s 0-60 times out of them.

[@ROADNOISEMEDIA]

I’m a huge audi fan, so will be watching all the episodes with this one :) for me personally, some sort of candy colored wrap would be badass, like candy red, candy blue or something like that

[@cornhusk5285]

black violet is a solid choice, but you also said a color I was thinking...matte green (olive drab) would look so good on here

[@juniorpolanco3836]

personally, as an Audi guy I think you have the right color for the RS7. At most I would say make sure the paint is correct and then get it PPF'd. Don't they have a clear wrap that kinda gives a matte finish? Other than that I would say get the right wheels (maybe a deep bronze look) and then find carbon bits for the outside.

[@stealthhtm23]

assuming it’s Daytona Grey Pearl. when the paint is perfect, it looks incredible. crazy amount of depth in the metallic. stealth ppf is what you’re referring to with the matte look.

[@fit_pharmd4830]

You def are on track by not making it some shouty color. Can’t wait to see what you pick!

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

AutoVlog Great Video I think it's awesome that the previous owner of your New Audi RS7 is a Subscriber and he let you know that the Damage is nothing major and I hope you get that Oil screen taken care of asap

[@billlear5607]

This coming Sunday the 9th is the flash light drag's at the Waynesboro airport. They always have a good turnout. You should come out and do a video. It's only about an hour from you. Hope to see you there.

[@suxel1000]

so glad you got this car, I have a 17' RS7 Performance 605hp Nardo Grey.. look forward to more videos from you on this car. I love mine

[@agrippa1234]

I absolutely agree, keep the color and save the money for the inevitable repairs with such a wonderfully complex vehicle famous for equally complex repairs.......what a cool car.....

[@moneymanlos919]

This car is just a German MISSILE!! You can’t go wrong with this car and I’m a bmw guy but this car gets my respect 💯

[@jax7480]

Sepang blue I believe is a good option. 😊

[@jeroenjonkers7927]

Army green... and i want to give you an exhaust tip: go for Novitec or a Militec. Those are exactly in your alley when it comes to sound. Not cheap, but from what i got told those are the best combo with an Audi RS.

[@Exclusive.422]

I would love to see the matte green wrap on this car it would honestly stand out and with some black custom rims as well !

[@dkcj79]

I’m getting the oil screens replace by Audi this week on my RS7. I’m so glad they finally made it a recall because otherwise it costs $220-$2500. That’s money you could put into performance!! Congrats on the car!

[@henrymatthews9365]

Yup just seen this yesterday too. They need to reimburse people who have spent money on new turbos because of these oil screens.

[@dkcj79]

@@henrymatthews9365 I had an S7 before this and they tried to talk me into it but said I’d probably be good until 40k miles, so I wasn’t in a rush to spend almost $3k and lose my car for 2-3 days.

[@futube1976]

Sweet ride! I admire Audi for understating power and numbers!

[@847los]

Very nice RS7👍🏼, it is my favorite 4 door car after the S8. Im glad to see more people are recognizing these special cars, cant wait to see the upgrades 💪🏼🔥.

[@tonytanti8138]

I've seen one with 23 inch wheels....they looked amazing and fit perfectly

[@alhit007]

Well wear with your new Audi, I’d most definitely definitely de-chrome it, also the blue wrap with black wheels that have a very slight diamond cut 👌

[@alisterwilliams3073]

Get the driveshaft carrier bearing to get rid of the jerky feeling you can go with JBX or SRM ...comfort mode raise the car height ,dyamanic lowered it and tighter suspension..you can change how you want to drive it in settings which can change mode automatically when driving

[@rodhoward5125]

Thank you!!! So much for going down to vehicle's that are not exotics. Because real world cars rule!!!!!

[@javansydneychinniah6813]

The Green would be a great choice, unusual and would suit the car 👍🏽

[@SarahJames2669]

That purple color is gorgeous like omg Mike I love your channel I been here sense your ford fusion days I love your car I love Audis their amazing cars

[@thefactor6909]

BMW does the same thing under rating numbers . I think on my 2222 M240i Bmw said 4.3 and there getting 3.6 0 to 60 . 385 hp and there actually over 400. Thought I heard there getting this to the tires to 👍🏻👊🏻 Loving your new ride man !!!

[@alisterwilliams3073]

For tuning go with DS1 if you gonna do major upgrade if keeping it stockish APR tuning..

[@socratespetrakos3593]

Gloss hypnotic black violet. I had mentioned Panther Black on your first video of the car, which has a purple tint to it. The violet black will stand out without being loud and would look great with carbon fiber mirror caps, black trim and black wheels. I would definitely go with that, but its your car of course so your decision.

[@dhibbitt1948]

I prefer that look over the bmw, Mercedes or jag…really loving the sleek design of the roof line!!!

[@habanero5.054]

I hate when people go through insurance over stupid things like that. If you can’t afford to fix something that minor you shouldn’t be in that type of car

[@Y0unGS0uLkaMisT]

I would either do the violet or do a matte forest green. It’s a better color than the military green IMO

[@inspidship526]

I’m a no shame Audi lover, even tho I’ve never owned one. But seeing this is probably as close as I’ll get for the next few years. Thing is amazing! Can’t wait for the price breakdown

[@xrozip4050]

The military green with black/carbon details. You should also tint out all the windows. Black grill and carbon front lip. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@redsymphony5471]

Can’t wait for an exhaust video!! Love this car!

[@iantodd4918]

That car is sic and for its age it looks really modern. Enjoyed this video and looking forward to awsome content

[@lawwailok]

You should try another dealer, I literally just call my SA for same recall, they were able to get me in next Tuesday. And yes 2 days job if they don’t see anything failing. My SA said they are going to do a turbo diagnostic and make sure they are within spec, if not they will open a warranty case to claim the turbos while at it.

[@theautopage]

Good choice Mike it looks sick! I’ll be looking forward to the videos. I’m in the market for a a7 at the moment 😀

[@dominicgreen115]

NOGARO BLUE.... This, its a classic and stunning.

[@MikeRoyale9936]

Best music you’ve put in your channel ever!!

[@westsideskateshop564]

Mike can you do a KZbin poll as well? I don’t have instagram haha 😅

[@robertthompson8706]

My favorite car. Definitely will not miss an episode with this car.

[@randyscott954]

I think the dark blue would be amazing

[@thatdave86]

Black purple At present you have a fast but quiet car , neighbors love you ,wife loves you, daughter will love it and not be inbaressed ,but you will go and make it unbearable and annoying,to be cool . So apart from showing us what 0 to 60 time it can do ,what else is its purpose ?in stock form it would be a enjoyable family car , everyone would enjoy the journey in it ,will have a comfortable ride etc ,it's capable ,safe,and a competent cool car ,don't you think ? Can it tow? Obviously it's going to be great in snow ,the ski fields await you !

[@cpayne4956]

I love the Audi RS7, such a cool car and incredibly fast!! I also like your hoodie, the white stripes make the BOSS brand pop! I am interested in the 2023 SQ7 for my daily driver, what do you think about that SUV model? Theses would be my picks: Engine: 4.0L V8 TFSI Turbo Charged Direct Injection Max. Output: 500 hp Max Torque: 568 lb-ft Top Speed: 250 km/h Acceleration (0-100 km/h) 4.5 seconds Exterior: Madator Red Metallic Interior: Black with Arras Red Anthracite seats and door trim Wheels: 21" 5-double--spoke V design contrast grey wheels Red brake calipers Massage Seat Package Dynamic Package Plus Black Alcantara Headliner Full Leather Package Plus Bang & Olufsen 3D Advanced Sound System Accessories - Audi valve caps - Entry LED Audi rings - Model name "SQ7" black badge for front and rear - sport tailpipe trim, chrome finished black - sports exhaust System - Audi Data plug - all-weather mats - loading sill protective mat - luggage compartment shell I plan to add window and hood visors and upgrade the wheels to ones with red spokes.

[@7861jamal7861]

Had the facelift s7 and boy you are making me regret selling her. Try source someone to retrofit the lci rear lights they really sets off the back and makes it look a lot modern.

[@zoefaith120]

It's awesome you talk to the old owner!

[@NWcpl]

I will fill you in Mike. another issue with Audi is the cruise control. If you are traveling down a two-lane highway that is separated by a median and if you dont pass anyone in either direction for let's say 5 to 10 miles. You will get a fault warning on the dash and your cruise control will kick off and won't work again until you either stop and restart the car or drive for a while 10 minutes or more to reset. Audi does not have a fix for this. We couldn't get our 2018 A6 fixed during the 3 years we owned it. Crazy!

[@mattr8904]

i think Miami Blue would look sick on the RS7... or maybe even a 2 tone wrap?

[@Aperiderbones]

I’m retired Air Force and like the green, but not so much on a luxury car. The 1st and 3rd colors look nice.

[@DucatiGTS]

Green, that's the best color choice , in my personal opinion. It will set off any wheels and it's also a sleeper color.

[@enriqueborunda]

Mike, leave it like that, delete all the chrome, replace the wheels and exhaust and you will be all set. from the options you mentioned I like the green the most, but still I would NOT wrap the car. my 2 cents.

[@charlesfortiz724]

Cool vid bud! Love the long vids I watch your vids while walking/running on a treadmill 😅

[@on2wheels275]

I don’t think the reason you appointment is 3 months out is because they have so many recalls todo. It seems like all dealers ( every brand) has really long wait times for appointments. Blame it on manpower; Covid or something else, but dealerships leave you swinging in the wind for weeks and sometimes months unless you know someone

[@stevethegreat330]

nah that last color option he showed was crazyyyy

[@justinpimentel8569]

Love the hypnotic purple think it be different but fits with you and look sick beside TRX. You got my vote

[@trell1011]

RS7 was my Favorite Audi until the RS6 avant. Now the Avant is something special.

[@sneakerhead4770]

They make oil screen relocation kits now that puts the screen in a line that is very easy to service

[@videoslve]

I'm not a fan of the flat green on a car, truck or jeep yes. I think you should go with a color like that Caffeniee Brown Coverette you liked. Sort of like Dr Pepper or brown like the.

[@khalil123436]

Even tho i was a lot Attendant at Sewickley Audi i have seen many RS7's come in for that same issue with the Oil screen but the owners didnt have to wait months for a appointment

[@Konos12]

Great videos your putting out ! Love the new Audi . After watchjng your video I was wondering since your car will not be in shop until Jan 23 if the screen cause engine failure will Audi fix the issue completey for free since they know of the problem and not your fault the car can not get resolved sooner ?

[@gascans801]

rear end of them always looks plain because of the electric spoiler, needs some sort of boot tip for when its down, will look nice then,

[@moglybogly474]

If i would wrap it i would do it in red and make black details on it. Spoilers, mirrors, wing, front grill ..... The rims would be Vertini Fairlady

[@abdielmi1087]

The best colour option for an RS7 was matte Daytona grey. 100% better than nardo grey imo. Stands out but very underrated

[@fit_pharmd4830]

Shout out to THE STRAIGHT PIPES! Saw the tires are Continental Extreme Contact Sport! (They are sponsored by Continental and hype those tires in nearly every episode)

[@bradnoyes7955]

The oil screen isn't just an Audi thing, My Taurus has them but I only replaced the one for the front turbo and that was just when I replaced the turbo at ~220k miles. Maybe Audi selected too fine of a mesh for the screen?

[@davep4703]

May I ask, before you put in a tune and change the exhaust will you do a Dyno pull in order to understand the original power numbers, because you may already have an mild tune. Also, these engines eat spark plugs, if there is high mileage on the current set, change them its makes a big difference to overal performance and drivability. Regards Dave Porter, London

[@mikebarrett6731]

Black violent would look the best out of the 3 with cool rims. Maybe gold or bronze, not sure

[@nakedbandit]

That hypnotic violet would be my pick.

[@kadionrigg6786]

I like how the spoiler comes out when u need it goes away when u don’t

[@87lumpa]

Purple looks gangsta, go with the green

[@chrisf3069]

Lovin the car Mike, hear me out....matte white, black wheels, black emblems.

[@crispcarguru303]

Another important piece these may have a 10 yr or 125K warranty from original in service date, so think twice before tuning. I have a 2015 S6 and one reason I haven't tuned yet.

[@DarkKnight-ws3wx]

Nardo Grey or Midnight purple wrap nothing bright looks good on the RS7.... I use to own a S7 the RS7 has always been a dream vehicle of mines

[@pete1320]

Whatever color you pick, I think a Satin finish would be nice, like your R8 Orange but in Satin not mat.

[@rafichencho1155]

I expect a 4WD drifting in snow slow motion video when you get snow up there

[@pelamore211]

Imo it should be a Tango Red with Black Rims. Look so Brutal on this car...

[@3turbo144]

Ironic but when you first mentioned wrapping it the first and only color I thought of was a deep metallic purple 😂

[@John_spartan]

Army green is cool 👍🏼 and I guess the air suspension system is pretty expensive as well..at least it is on the Q7

[@davidc523]

I said the other day when you posted the first video a dark hunter green with black wheels so I’d like the green go with it

[@tokuzumi1]

Of the 3 you chose, green is the best.

[@JeffCatlett]

Any modes added should reduce the total weight of the vehicle if you want to reach sub 3 second zero to 60 times.

[@Tanner-Distad]

What app did you use to get your 0-60 time ?

[@hectorbribiesca9454]

Orange fury like your r8 that you had that color would look 👌 on your new car

[@Luxuriouswhite]

My stock jeep SRT did 0-60 in 3.9-4.1 consistent but it was rated at 4.4. Nothin better than beating factory numbers

[@siyamoloi610]

Do a chrome delete, paint protection film. No wrap

[@MrBorgirdim]

The oil seperator broke after 2hrs. In this job the oil screen was shanged. this job was payed by Audi and in the proses the separator was shanged. But stil 3600Dollars job..

[@PunjabiBoi37]

Gloss Purple! Don't do Matte because that car has a lot of big flat panels, and making it matte is just going to exetuate the flatness.

[@ivorscheffer2657]

I think that purple colour would look sick🤘🏻

[@rileycarelock6481]

I think matte millitary green would look badass

[@nelsoncosta6212]

I would go with the purple but on a car like that a matte grey or matte black would be the bomb good luck 👍

[@staceythomas6147]

The dark purple is my favourite, but I also like a dark bottle green.

[@sundayadickson]

I prefer the 'Gloss Black' color, go for it.

[@patrickmiller2653]

Also possibly consider going with KPMF matte iced amethyst titanium for the wrap color - same color as stradmans wraps, I think it would look mean on the rs7

[@christopherkresge7921]

I vote for the 3rd Choice for the wrap.

[@frogogogo]

Traction control actually only needs to be in ESC Sport, but you can turn it off if you’re feeling frisky

[@tomburdett6639]

Hey Mike I'd like to see you do a review on the skysphere. 👍👍👍😁
