2016 Audi A7 / S7 / RS7 4dr Hatch

turbocharged 560hp 4.0L V8 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD

22000 mi

US $300
Airbag curtain recall 
61000 mi Replacement of the cracked Head-Up Display projector also necessitated replacing the windshield for access to the HUD. Everything works perfectly post-repair. It took months to get both the screen (or HUD unit itself - I'm not sure) and the windshield into the shop. The repair itself took a couple of weeks due to the installation of both items being quite complicated. Extended warrantee plan covered all costs. Audi of Chantilly, VA did a fine job.
