What an experience this damn Q7 has been. Awful car so far. Worst purchase decision ever. However, some fixes have been completed so that's something. Bit of advice sought on the following if anyone can kindly help: - When I got car, vents were blowing heated air but when I tried AC it went...

Hi again. Hoping to get an auto electrician out this week to check battery and all major fuses and relays. That feels like the starting point. Out of everything the ABS/traction stuff and air suspension worry me most as they can be soooooo many different things. Air springs look crazy expensive...

It's the 229 bhp engine. Quattro limited edition.

It's the 3.0 TDI

Cheers! I suspected the same but the damn Audi independent I took it to couldn't be bothered and didn't even try. I'd wanted them to check battery, relays, and fuses as a starting point. I think I will go down that avenue via an auto electrician check before giving up. The front wheels do look a...

I recently posted about a dud Q7 4L I was sold by an unscrupulous private seller. My post wasn't very specific so I wondered if I could get some advice. Basically, I might try to get some repairs done, but using aftermarket or refurbished parts. I know they are much more prone to failure than...

Thanks for the replies all. Really appreciated. Approached a few specialist autoelectricians in Leeds and 1st has only confirmed the garage's position based on the logs, claiming that an air suspension compressor alone is £1,900 plus VAT. Can't see this one working out well. An attractive heap...

Update. Cost of repairs £6k on a 2007 car that cost £5k. Feel sick. Can't believe a guy who is already a multimillionaire would deceive me by clearing warning lights and endanger me and my family in the process. Will lose thousands. Feel pretty stupid now.

Bought a 2007 Q7 yesterday. I acted in good faith but got shafted by a liar who misled me throughout. Long story but all sorts of issues cropped up on the drive home and feeling a bit foolish now. Got the following dashboard warning issues as a starting point (all amber): - Engine management...
