Q7 2017 center rear seat does not move - (re-posting to Q7 specific thread)

[wrliii]

Hi all - I am new here- just got the Q7 last week. I wanted to ask you all if you have had a similar experience. The second row center seat in my Q7 did not slide back and forth. It took me some convincing of the service guys that this was not in fact a "feature". After they looked at it twice and called Audi HQ, they told me that there were "locking pins" in the seat to prevent it from moving and that they would only be removed by customer request, i.e. not part of the PDI process. So we removed them and now the seat slides back and forth. There was no explanation given why someone would NOT want the seats to slide.

Any of you folks run into this? Does your center seat slide or does is it locked?

Thanks!

Mine has slid back and forth from the day I picked it up.

Sounds like something they ship the vehicle with to keep things from moving and the dealer forgot to remove them and what they told you was a BS cover story for, "Oops, we forgot"

On a different topic, when you have your music off and coming to a stop, do you hear clicking noises similar to the shutter sound on a camera? I get continuous clicking noises

It's the Electromechanical parking brake doing the self-test. It is described in the owner's manual (around p.89 I believe).
