what problem does a Audi q7 have because its not a typical Honda where you know your car is going to run basically for life. Iam interested in a one with 70000..... Miles how long will the car go without any issues and is it smart to purchase the vechicle....I really like it on the other hand..

Audi's are able to able to run as long as any Honda's if cared for correctly. What Audi's main issues usually come from some electric component of the car. Lights, fluid leaks (due to cooling system material degrading over time) and ignition usually come to the forefront in their issues. If you are looking at the Q7 with 70k miles, you may want to have the timing belt checked. The car at this mileage is just out of the manufacturer's warranty period and the timing belt and water pump would be the next scheduled maintenance for this vehicle. So you should be assured that mechanically the car is outstanding and will run for a long time so long as you can deal with non-working tail-lights and small electronic issues with the MMI (Audi's car interface such as Nav,radio controls). I am not saying that this is what will go wrong, these having a higher % of failing first if there is any issues.

To my opnion, I have and Audi Q7 with 72k miles on it. No problem so far. everything if taken care and in time ( like maintenance) then you might see it running more than Honda's and toyota's. Always look for dealer service and they might have good offer on oil change. so far i have always got lucky. Audi also changes bulbs (except HID head bulb) for free. I have experienced it twice and no Charge, Even the bulb is free! Overall, Had a very satisfying experience with Audi and with Q7. Periodically check panorama roof for leaks or water clogging. Mostly all major problem starts from there.

Audi Q7 Brakes to Discs pad to change are quite expensive I had a quote of AUS $ 4750.00 Did it myself parts only AUD $ 890.00 It took longer to jack up the car than change the disc's and pads. Now I have two Audi Q7 one 2007 V6 3.0 Diesel with 132K Klms and one 2006 with 223K Klms and it has just let a timing chain go. Slight vibration in the upper engine bay then a sudden bang in the lower engine bay. Cannot even turn engine over to remove Torque convertor bolts to have a look at the lower timing chain. So it would be interesting as the Q 7 get a bit older how many timing chains let go?

On most engines, timing belts need doing between 80,000 and 100,000 kms (50,000 - 60,000 miles). Timing chains do not normally need replacement until VERY high mileage. However, because of the complexity of the engine, I would suggest doing it as a matter of routine every 160,000 kms, or 100,000 miles. Not cheap but less by far than having the engine smashed inside because a valve or two has hit a piston, which means a new engine. As for the electrical problems, like all new cars, the wires are of a very small gauge, so are fragile. Also, the Audi has a Bosch electrical system that in multiplexed. When it works, it works well. However, the entire thing is predicated on each component providing the correct feedback to the rest of the system. If anything electrical goes wrong, you MUST use the original Audi part. Even the same part, made by Bosch, but for another car, can give the incorrect feedback, and you will think your car is possessed.

I have done 70,000 miles. I have had a seal need replacing and that took a couple of weeks to get repaired. I have had trims fall off/need replacing, and the heater has stopped working one. I cannot recommend an Audi due to the reliability and the after sales servise

my 2006 3.0 TDi Q7 has now done 260,000km. I haven't had to do anything except change the oil and put tyres on it. This vehicle is definitely the best car I have ever owned and I thoroughly enjoy everything about this car. AS you can see I do alot of driving and use the car as my office,It's comfortable,economical and dependable>

Have had a Q7 .. Have gotten it serviced right on time, oil change, etc .. Driven it across country 5 times and currently has 109,000 miles on it. Everything 'Vietle' has stated above has happened. Currently 'Check Engine' light is on and started at about 95k. Took it to dealer and they said 'Gas Cap' .. Got a new one. My personal car guy states that error related to 'Camshaft' is the issue. Comes on as soon you turn the car on after resetting. I change my brake lights due to some short every few months .. It's a bit of a nuisance but making it work. Other issue was the Nav had the entire thing replaced BUT not Audi's fault .. Could be my kids fault for spilling a little bit of soda in console area .. Per Audi? Anyways .. Love the car but check engine light has been driving me bonkers.

Have a 2006 3.0 TDi. it now has 265,000 km on it.I have never had any problems.If you service your car it should go for ever.The problem with most European car owners is that they don't like the slightly more expensive servicing costs...so they try and get second party servicemen or do things themselves. There is a recommended service schedule for a reason!! These are not just there for the dealer to make money, it all helps protect the user..YOU....from hefty repairs. I have had Cayennes,Landcruisers,Q7's and Touaregs and have always serviced to the book and have NEVER had any problems except for the odd $5 sensor failure. I do high mileage, and drive in all terrain 4Wd in mountains with snow as well as Offroad. The vehicle is used and thrashed to the max......the key is the servicing, and we are very Lucky here in New Zealand that we have a 100% amazing Audi dealership and service centres. When I checked my oil 10,000km into a change it was still clear and not dirty. I Love My Q7,I do believe it is one of the best SUV 4WD's on the road. My recommendation is to find one that has a proper service record....ring the Dealer/servicemen and ask about it's history, and make your decision from there......If you get a good one, you'll fall in love with it....guaranteed!!

I have a 07 Q7 4.2 that I just bought ...literally... on the way home the engine light came on and now I am faced with a 6000 dollar repair for timing chain. The dealership is playing stupid and saying that I dont have a warranty and bought the car as is, even though they took the vehicle in to be worked on 4 times now so far.As far as the brake lights issue, you cannot go to the local parts store and purchase 1157 bulbs as they are the wrong voltage and will pop just shortly after you put them in, they have to be special wattage bulbs.NAPA carries the proper ones for 2.75 dollars.

I have a Audi q7 , one day when I am driving going home there is an certain interference Jus come out on mi radio then suddenly the Engine stop idling ? Then I towed mi car to the Audi dealership, at first they told me tht it's intake flap motors I bought and replaced it but the car won't start ? They Jus also replaced new injectors , injector pump and fuel rails but the car won't start ? They have been jus spit it on diagnosis machine several times but there is noe Fault ? Any one can help me I need mi car

2011 q7 was driving on interstate temp gauge suddenly came on and car died. only has 51k miles serviced regularly. mechanic said engine is done needs a new one which is 18k plus labor. called audi would not do anything said warranty is up at 50k and refuse to do anything about it and were very rude. obviously would not recommend this company or anything they make

Bought My 07 Q7 4.2 new in July of 06. Went past 200,000 this past summer, and have had no real issues and never have been stranded (keep an extra coil in the glove box... easy swap with the help of a screw driver). Buy Pirrelli Scorpion tires, an rotate every 10k, I got 40k out of the last set (coniti's and Michelin started getting noisy at 25k) , brakes have been making it 50k, and investing in front rotors (the better brand but not oem) was key to keep the warping and front vibration associated with it from happening... The only annoying thing was coffee spillage killed the MMI board located behind the gear shift (and in front of the arm rest under the nav radio controls).. but found a company on ebay (in china) that sold the boards for $125 plus sent instructions on how to remove and replace, which took all of 20 minutes to swap. The dealer wanted me to spend $1800 and replace the amp... they were not even close on the diagnostics. (*** Thanks to the Audi Forum, I found a member that pointed me towards the board***)... This SUV is a tank, the interior coachwork has been way more durable than my S8, A6 Wagon, and the handful of A4's that my family has been through. And it is the first Audi that I have had NO electro demon's, and NO cat faults.. I drive the 4.2 direct injection very hard (my son calls it the baby Bugatti)... DONT ASK ABOUT GAS MILEAGE...If you want that go elsewhere and be disappointed with acceleration... When loaded up, this 3 ton beast will go anywhere, anytime. And as with anything that has rubber tires does poorly on ICE (thats why skates do not have rubber blades!). I have been so impressed that I put 2 4.2 Q7's into my business, bought them both north of the 100,000 mile barrier, and have had the same success, and saved MEGA BUCKS off the original sticker (bought both of them for under $20 k each)! Just wish the 4.2 was still available for the Q7... guess I have to buy the R8 next...

Warning for '07 3.6L Q7 owners: just Google "Oil pump bolt" issue on the 3.6 engine... Many engine failures due to the bolt coming loose inside the rear timing chain cover. Only way to access it is to Pull The Engine! When the bolt comes out the timing chain slips and the whole engine can be destroyed (mine was). Audi knows all about it but good luck with any help.

tengo un audi Q7 2009 4.2 que no me funciona el panel de el heater no y no tiene heater..

que puedo hacer en este caso

120K on my Audi Q7 4.2 2007 - No issues until very recently had to replace 2 Catalytic converters and a fuel system cleanup. Had the issuance which took care of it. Handy, roughly $2000 worth of repair. Apart from that regular oil change and @120k regular replacement of oil and air filter. Have not owned as awesome as this car. Serves the family in all possible ways.

Has anyone had experience towing over 5000lbs with their TDi Q7? Ed

I bought a 2015 3.0T S line Prestige 4dr All-wheel Drive quattro Q7, she has barely done 14500 miles, i hear the panoramic panel creek as if the assembly is loose, the suspension makes noise as if there is no tomorrow, there is a water leak from where the antenna is fixed. my seat, yes the driver's seat creeks like it has old springs that need lubrication.... its a piece of ....

worst car bought ever . 40000 miles catalytic converters went out . 4700 dollars worth repair. blind spot minitor quit at 55000. brakes noisy ride . fuel started leaking from fuel tank at 70000. mi. i would not recommend an audi . buy a kia instead .

Audi is a great car to lease, but never buy

I know it's an old post but I have 350,000 Miles on my 2009 Q7 only thing I have changed is the spark plugs transmission fluid and filter But Never drive a car 10,000 MI before the oil change always change it ever 3 to 5000 MI that's what saves the injectors other than that it runs great . And I drive it In town and my wife drives it to work every day

Sona....You know if you drive your car low on gas just ruins the Exhaust sensors and converters you must be an aggressive driver to do that plus the brakes it's a heavy car you need to remember that

I just have 2010 q7 TDI ( Disel Engine) which supposed to be strong engine. It got ONLY 85,500 miles. But UNFORTUNATELY, was a nightmare choice. Jus dove it 1200 miles and started to break left and right .Spent more than $2000 in less than a month and half,and no MECHANIC or even the dealer know 'a what the problem is. IN MY OPINION, Audi is piece of shit . Don't do my mistake,don't buy a frustration and constant headache to yourself. Do not get fouled by the way how it looks,IT'S JUST NICE LUXURY BODY ONLY,BUT ENGINE MATTERS AND RELIABILITY IT'S THE WORSE NIGHTMARE AND CHOICE. It's just wasted time and money.

I received a audi q7 ignition switch with key on ebay. I cant find anyone to install it.

I bought an Audi Q7 at 56,000 miles and now have 110000 miles and so far I have to change the front and back brake pads (about $4000 total), two diverter valves and spark plugs twice ($2000) etc, and a died battery--changing battery at a dealer cost me $500+. And the check engine light came up again the day I had the diverter valves and spark plugs changes. The mechanic's guess was the carbon build up...I don't think I will get an Audi again.

Audis are built to higher standards of quality, which means that they have more to them than most cars. However, as they get older sometimes those components don't age too well. see: https://luckypatcher.pro/ https://kodi.software/ https://showbox.software/

we purchased a 2012 q7 with 50K miles three years ago. Had to replaced battery,brake pads and had an oil consumption issue which ended up being an engine breather valve. You pay more for service compared to a Kia but after driving an Audi a few years you'll never be satisfied with the feel of an inferior vehicle.

By a Lexus and never look an Audi again

Lexus or Toyota will solve all your problems if you want to be Car Headache Free

i own a 2009 audi q7 3.0 L V6 quattro she is running like a beast.hats off to audi for such a super car . now after 100 000 kms runnin like a champ

Hey guys! Your reviews are being helpful. Many of you have good and bad experiences with the Q7 Audi, I am about to buy a Q7 2013 with 80000 miles in it. I guess I have to back off my decision. Thank you for sharing your experiences with everyone. I am driving right now a 750 LI BMW. I am going to stick to my car for a while.

I have a 2011 Q7 S line with the supercharged V6 and now have over 125,000 miles on it. I’ve done regular scheduled maintenance and have had zero problems. I also have an A4 2.0T with over 80,000 miles on it and have only had to replace the thermostat, sensors and fan. All during one visit to the dealership. It was around $650.00. My Audi’s have been every bit as reliable as my Toyota’s, and Acura. More reliable than my Infiniti. I wouldn’t let some these comments scare you off. If you’re already driving a BMW then you’re not going to abuse the vehicle by not doing maintenance. These cars are absolutely loaded and fantastic to drive.

My 2006 audi Q7 3.0 Tdi has 480,000 km on the clock. I regularly service it with an Audi mechanic and it it goes better now than ever. It is a 2 owner car which i have done 80% of the mileage on, yes they cost a little more to service, but they drive like nothing else. I have had porsche cayennes and toyota landcuisers and Volkwagen tourage before and really this has been the best car ever

Hi, not sure if I’m posting this in the right lace. But I have an Audi Q7 tdi S-Line 2019. Acceleration in my opinion is poor, from standstill, foot down on accelerator and nothing happens for 2/3 seconds ! I been to Audi and they tell me this is normal ! Anyone help ?

the most common problems with Audi are electronic module, you a lot thing are "plastic"so easy to break. I have to Q7 2007 at this age many electronic parts need replace, luckily I do my self, saving a lot money, and other common problems is the valve breather (valve cover), the dealer sell only the whole valve cover or just the gasket but no the membrane or diaphragm goes inside the valve cover. I just did this job myself, I watched Many videos on youtube and it wasn't too difficult, its take long but is something you can do it.

Do someone experienced any gearbox warning light? If so, there’s any good solution? I have an Audi Q7 TDI 2013

Does anyone have a clue why Q7 quattro' s speed would only go up to 80 km / hrs and then lights up an orange glow plugs warning sign? My mechanic struggling with resolving the issue
