My 2018 Q7 was well cared for and just had an inspection when the engine failed at 70,000 miles. I was told it is nearly 20,000 just to fully diagnose. They categorized as engine failure and will need major engine repair. They used a camera and can see there is something catastrophic with a valve, but couldn’t see any further. Audi has recognized an engine issue with my 2018 SQ5 3.0 engine, but not this car of the same year. They have granted an extended warranty on the 2018 SQ5 engine. I can’t believe I have two cars which engine fail at such low miles! I have submitted a request for goodwill repair with the main Audi number. I will update.
This car has had several problems which the mechanic attributed to normal Audi repairs. They told me the cars are made with lots of small plastic pieces now that break easily. The car quit in the mid 50K which they attributed to spark plugs wearing out early.
