Would suggest to first follow what is stated on the tire's sidewall. Then as a back-up check your owners manual. What kind of tires you have?? Sounds like you have the low profile tires.

The sidewall number is the maximum pressure rating (~40 psi usually).
 
To find the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure for your vehicle, look for the tire label, usually on the front door pillar or in the glove box.
 
TireRack has some quickie articles:
 
Tire Inflation
 
TireRack recommends that the tire pressure be "set according to the vehicle manufacturer's cold tire pressure(s) recommended on the vehicle's tire placard or in its owner's manual." link

I second your question/concern. The label on the inside door frame states 44/49. The manual has a large and cryptic table that suggests 35 (?) going upto to 44/49 "fully loaded". I had one tire serviced and the attendant was very skeptical about 40+ psi. I usually follow the label - 2 - 3 psi, so I have app. 40/45 front/rear.
 
BTW, I have 19" Continentals.
 
P.S Tire sensors going off means that you once stored a much higher pressure. My understanding of how they work is that they compare stored pressure - "allowed offset" to current pressure. If you store 20 psi, they will probably never go off.

These conti tires are the 19" OEM tires for the Audi Q7, they state 51psi max for the tire.

I would check and verify make, model and size of your tire to the above and look at your owners manual. 40's psi sounds right, verify it anyway.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my post. I actually did not drive my Audi Q7 today till i clear it up with the local Audi service advisor. BTW, i do have the Continental 255/55R18 and tirewall ahs max of 51 psi; i reconfirmed the info from door panel: 44 psi front and 49 psi rear. Once i hear from Audi hopefully by tomorrow, i will post the response. thanks again.

I finally got to speak to the Audi service advisor; he told me that the 44/49 psi is meant for a max. load cap. He then suggested that i use 35 psi to all 4 tires. thank you guys for your advise. much appreciated.

I have a razr from Verizon. Initialy, I had to struggle to connect it at all. No problem now - handsfree works beatifully except for a "CRAZY" ring. I am so surprized Audi came up with that ugly high-pitched sound for it. I wonder if there is a way to change it.
 
I am still buffled by that one-touch voice-recognition button on the steering wheel though.

Towing Cover by quattroporte12

Hi i have a q7 with the towing package, and the rubberized cover that pushes into the tow hitch slot fell out or got stolen or something, and we cant figure out how to get another one. i asked our dealership if they had extra ones in their parts department, and if we could buy one, and he was trying to tell me that they werent from audi, and that i could find one like it at an autozone or some place like that. but all ive found there are the massive silver oval covers with chevy and ford symbols on them. can anyone help me out on where to find just a plain, small black one?

Exhaust tips by quattroporte12
Dec 29, 2007 (2:25 pm)
Reply
I also have one more question about the tailpipes on the 3.6 q7. On the 4.2 the tailpipes are thicker and chrome, and on the 3.6 they are more raw looking and black metal. I asked someone at my dealership if i could buy the thicker, chrome tailpipes as an accessory for the q7 (they have accessory tailpipes which are flat-bottomed like on the cayenne, but i wanted a pair like on the 4.2 q7) and he told me that because the exhaust systems are different, the 4.2 muffler tips wouldnt fit on the 3.6 exhausts. But i found an ebay listing with them as an accessory and it said that it would fit the audi a6 and q7. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trkparms=tab%3DWatchin- g&viewitem=&item=130185888986&_trksid=p3907.m32 Just wanted to know if the info i got from the dealer was right, or if these would fit the audi q7. thanks for the advice
