[s-cars] Non-urS content, but still Audi...

[tedebearp at yahoo.com]

We have an '07 Q7 that was purchased as a CPO from an Audi dealer in 2008. Last week, I had a flat tire for the first time and had to use the collapsible spare tire.  I discovered that the OEM air compressor was missing, bracket and all.  I ended up calling a friend to come over with his cheapo tire inflator that took nearly 20 minutes to do the job.

A web search quickly revealed that the OEM air compressor costs nearly $400 and dealers often steal them from used vehicles before selling them.
