You can launch the rs7 in any mode. If the car isn’t in dynamic mode, just flick gear lever back one more to engage sport gear. To prevent it from bugging down, hold esc button for 4 second to completely turn off traction management.
Mike, I am so sorry your channel is dying :( Truthfully, I would recommend going back to a Ferarri if you feel you can revive the channel. The state it is now the viewership and engagement will be really low. I will be rooting for you to succeed even if you do decide to leave youtube.
You'd think by now one would learn that lowering anything with an air suspension is sus at best, horror show at worst. Reliability, drivability, performance ALL suffer.
Hey Mike, I hope that everything is going well! I'm a long time subscriber (since 50k), and I've noticed I haven't seen an AV notification in over a month. I hope that you can make another video very soon! I'll watch anything you upload, doesn't even have to be about cars.
I had the same issue on my MK6 R and when I took it to an VW specialist, he told me to do alignment, but he said the way we do it, we have to adjust the cross member and the issue stopped, no more rubbing when turning left! If you look at your front tires, one sticks out little more than the other one.
Mike do you think you’ll have to go back to a real job soon? Just curious. I was always afraid to take the TH-cam leap of faith knowing it won’t last. Every show ends.
Which him come back and say I was buying a condo and was busy signing the papers😂😂😂😂 like wtf man you can do youtube and buy a condo look at streetspeed717 this guy since early 2020 his content has been going down hardly

HI @AutoVlog I've been watching your videos for years now ever since you got that 2015 ford fusion and it's been great over the years. I hope you and your family are doing well and hope to see more videos soon.
More than likely rubbing on one side due to the air suspension auto leveling. You have to provide clearance to account for this. Or possibly disable auto leveling for a more static ride.
I gotta say!! this is by far one of the best looking RS7s out there, i know you love the look but trust me it still looks fire if you do the half inch! Rock on man, love your vids!
Mike , i had my prevoius rs7 and s6 lowered with links , and rs7 that i have at the moment , you need to remove ftont fender liner fender clips , just get a short philips screw driver , and feel with your fingers in the middle closer to front doors , its a huge clip , just remove them on both sides and 95% of scrapes that you had will dissapear
I appreciate the info. Don’t pay attention to those people who say this is not what to do to your car. They only drive stock cars and are scared to mod them 👍
This channel went from regular posts to repetitive garbage at irregular intervals. “Let’s see how long it takes to run out of gas”. Let’s feed the car booze. Now you try turning a family sedan into something it’s not. At least when it explodes and it will, you’ll have to fix it.
Maybe you should learn how to roll fender or do some of the work yourself to fix the rubbing? You come off as a guy that just keeps taking his car into the mechanic shop to get every minor thing done wihout understanding how the different mods affect eachother.
Any chance this car was in an accident before you purchased it? If the left front was in a minor "fender bender", it might bee slightly out of alignment........frame....or fender alignment. That would explain why it is only on the left and not bi-lateral.
Man that hurts. I know you are making content but having a beautiful rs7 that can't correctly operate in dynamic is just silly. Having that little space also doesn't look correct on such a great sedan. This isn't a Ferrari. Go back to stock height, you got your content.
It's possible with age of the car that the air bags are dry and cracking. The right one might be leaking air just enough that it's not supporting the cars weight when you make the left turn. I would look into getting all the air bags replaced.
Your rubbing on your fender liner have the same problem on my s7. This unfortunately may be the start of a failing air suspension starts with the level control sensors first then leaking air struts each one from audi is $2500 for the front pay attention to the speedometer if it keeps saying controlling level of car or ride height to low Deff get ready to drop a shit ton of money towards dat suspension. Mine started as slight rubbing after lowering links to full blown passenger side air strut failure woke up and thought I had a flat from how much the car was leaning lol
Dont apologize. Im glad you made this video. I have a '21 VW Arteon Premiu Rline which ironically is similar in shape and size to the RS7, but definitely not power. LOL. Just swapped out the stock Continental ProContact tires for Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's. I'm thinking about putting spacers on with my stock 20" wheels. I would lower it, but I know my wife will scrape the front splitter in a couple areas near our home. (Married Life!)
You need VCDS. The system is what I use to adjust my height on my VW Phaeton air suspension all thru the computer. Your rs7 can be adjusted in mm using your lowering links. You just need the vcds software.
I get it but take it this way for the past 3 years he had been like this where he goes for 2 weeks then come and says sorry for no upload who now he might be going through something but he needs to post somethin on ig at least I'll be back soon
I think the TH-cam algorithim is too hard to predict and make content for; making this content is hard and 36K views barely pays for a tank of gas if that
Cleaning up my subscription list. Noticed that your video posts have come to a grinding halt. I'll be hitting that unsubscribe button but first a thanks for the free entertainment over the years. ✌️
Lowering a car with an air suspension is begging for problems. The struts are not designed to handle road flaws like potholes with basically no travel. You will break something expensive.
You should be able to do the launch control in manual mode and use the paddles to then up shift. In my 2018 Audi RS3 I can do that so I'm assuming you can in the RS7. This should be able to give you a faster 0 - 60 time without it bawging around 60 mph. Hope this helps! The car looks amazing lowered!
RS7 is just a beautiful machine. I actually like the 1/2in lift look due to the amount of side body of the car. But you can adjust so is complaining worth it? Enjoy it!
Autovlog Great Video I think your RS7 looks way better with that lowering kit and I hope you manage to fix thst rubbing issue and I can't wait to see more RS7 Content
@@themoviebay well I know there was an f12 and the r8 but for the most part it was mercedes and ford(trucks) for the daily type cars so seeing him with a different brand daily type car (rs7) and different brand truck is refreshing but that just my opinion.
the car is that low you're not accounting for weight transfer of the actual car going round corners and accelerating. the car needs more hight to compensate for weight differences , whether that is forces on the car or any other that effects the stance and balance
I have a 14 rs7 with spacers and ecs lowering links, I had to take off the 1" lowering links and went to the . 5" ones so that I could launch the car. Stock 21s as well on mine. .5" lowering links made it perfect
Can't wait for the next mod on the rs7! Hoping it's carbon fibre wing mirrors. You can do some pulls after and let us know how much faster it goes from 0-60 for the remainder of the video
Why lower an all ready nice car and the stock suspension format is thought and made by Audi for the car to ride perfectly, mess with it you will have problems, it was a pretty stupid mod!!
I'd like to see more RS content. I currently have a C6 Z06 and contemplating upgrading to an RS7. I went up to LW Automotive this past weekend. Test drove the performance one. I can't decide.
You are going to be surprised by this but the car is not 100% symmetrical….the wheels on one side poke out more then on the other …it isn’t lower it is just different on each side …..

Highly disagree. 4 years plus on factory air suspension cars with lowering links and flawless performance/operation
It 100% depends on the car model and how it's lowered. It's in no way a given that it fails.

By chance do you have a recommendation for the spacers and lowering links? I just bought a C7 RS7 and love the look on your car.
Get narrower spacers in the front … ur weight on the driver side is causing the issue …the tire is touching the fender
It should auto-level to compensate for the weight. That’s the beauty of the bags.
Get a Tcu tune to shift higher rpm and you can hit 60 without shifting to third gear…
You will get so many more viewers. If you get rid of those stupid Ford trucks come on man. I’m danish you’re Swedish wake up McFly.

Also your tire pressures are pretty high for good launches. Drop them to 35psi and try
also it might just solve the rubbing
Every factory vehicle he mods, ends up with problems. Weird
Because he has amateurs work on them
Change spacers in front to 10mm, should sort it out or change front lnks to half inch
It's possible with age of the car that the air bags are dry and cracking. The right one might be leaking air just enough that it's not supporting the cars weight when you make the left turn. I would look into getting all the air bags replaced.

As a W. PA resident I can tell you lowering anything in this pot hole ridden town is not a good idea . Good luck!

Get new wheels with correct offset to get that perfect tuck in wheel.
Lowering a car with an air suspension is begging for problems. The struts are not designed to handle road flaws like potholes with basically no travel. You will break something expensive.
Drive in comfort mode daily. Put in dynamic just to have fun. Looks good though. Maybe a wheel well trim job?

Just be careful. It will eventually ruin your steering rod. This happened to my VW.
