Default Sport Pkg Build

Recently picked up a '15 Sport Pkg to replace our '13 TDI Prestige. Still have both at the moment as I have the '15 torn apart a bit. Once I get it to a good place I'll get the TDI listed. We've had zero problems with the TDI, it's been solid and still has a ton of life left with just 55k on it. But now that my S5 is gone and my daily is a 1 ton truck I wanted something with a little more zip to drive every once and a while (my wife dailys the Q). Always wanted a V12 body so we finally found one that worked for us. 87k on it with the typical options for this package. Unfortunately no B&O or alcantara, but beggars can't be choosers.

TDI - stock except for some 22" Hartmanns.



Only picture I've bothered to take of the '15 when I was cycling the suspension.

FYI if you're ever pulling the rear carpet. Audi did fun things like loop it around the outside rearmost front seat mount. Also not advisable to pull it out without disconnecting the center console from everything.

Why remove the entire carpet? Changing the fuel filter/pump assembly?? There's a TSB for them as they're known to crack and leak. Since you've already gotten it removed already I'd personally just replace even if it been done already. I have to have mine done twice so its not unheard of for it to fail more than once.

There is a hint in the last picture on the carpet situation. Thanks for the tip on the pump, not seeing that it's ever been replaced. Though the fuel rail was replaced 17k ago which is interesting. Do you happen to know the TSB number? I read through them all and couldn't find anything.

Scratch that, I found it.

You give me way too much credit to know what's going on in there LOL. I was drawn to the 35" wheel??? Doing an overlanding build?

Hahah! I admit, I looked at the last photo to find the hint.... didn't really come up with anything credible. And, I, too, was drawn to that tire...

That's a 38" Nitto on my rock crawler build.

Decided after 4+ years with a bit of a harsh ride, not to carry the 22" Hartmanns over from the 2013. The 20's are all ready to go, just need to find time to swap, hopefully this weekend. The 5x130 seems to be a dying bolt pattern. Finding a good looking wheel with the right fitment was a bit of a challenge and I'll still be running 12mm spacers out back.

Ah, okay. Adding a second row center console setup rather than bench seat. I see the console at the back of that photo now... probably the clue?!

Is this something you swapped out from the previous Q7, or did you pick it up specifically to add to the 2015?
