As a quick update (which may or may not help others!) I ended up cancelling with Audi and reinsuring with them to kick this out another year within their expiry dates (which means I can hopefully also sort issues with my NCD out too!). Adrian Flux were well over £2k, eSure and Audi v similar around £1500. Interestingly the front end for UKI is Churchill and Directline, neither of which will underwrite performance cars!

I’ve got a 2014 Q7 and same happened to me last year in the Lake District, at 10pm on a Sunday night. Problem is, the pulley shouldn’t be rusting away like that, it a low quality part that Audi could easily have put right. My pulley was £350, from a local car parts place, VW were asking £550 at the time (parts - not fitted). If people can get them for £96 from ECP I’d recommend doing it as preventive maintenance as you can’t really drive without it. Shame really - I’d expect parts like that to fail on a Citroen C1 but not a Q7!

Could be a relay, also check continuity of the wiring if you can trace back.

Hi there my son is a mechanic and scanned it with his snap on scanner it said there was an open circuit so I checked all the wiring up two the loom and everything was fine I was thinking it could be a relay ?

Filled to the line on the dipstick.

An independent (Vasstech) agreed it was most likely the bag. I have already provided the information in my original post lookers says it’s anything but the airbag. Valve body level sensors etc

Yes up to the max level then drops down past min but I tend to top it up before the warning light appears.

I’ve seen it before where an oil leak in the middle of the V has filled and ran down both sides so would recommend looking there with a borascope or sticking a camera phone as best you can around in there for any sign of oil if yours doesn’t look like the pictures

Won’t let me upload a video of my failed injector seal for some reason

It’s unusual for all the injector seals to go at the same time on both banks and rather than it being oil it looks like a sludge of carbon that sprays under pressure on the manifold and inner wing. You’ll be able to here a faint ticking noise too coming from the injector. IMG_9185.mov

That the air flow reduces suggests an electronic problem. Best to get the system diagnosed.

£300 for supply tells me they simply don't want the job. Time to investigate alternative suppliers such as this for example: https://wolfautoparts.com/coolant-tpiece-adapter-n90760601-ps43608.html While that one may not be identical to yours, a little time searching the internet may well find one that is.

What’s the fault, what are the symptoms, is this an in-dash error. I take it you haven’t had the car scanned for fault codes? Manual or auto? The electronic parking brake is normally pretty robust. Rear calipers are known to seize, especially at this age, but you’ve already swapped it out. Are you getting 12v to the module? A cheap multi-meter is invaluable. Also check wiring there, especially the ABS wiring.

Parasitic loss is a bit vague. How many amps are being drained from the battery? The handbrake switch under the brake lever may be what you are hearing. It would be worth looking at its condition.

Has anyone experienced both banks having oil leaking out of the exhaust manifolds? I’ve been told could be injector seals or PCV??

That's better. Having some explanatory detail gives us a chance to provide some assistance. When you filled with oil did add the recommended measured quantity, or did you simply fill to the line on the dip stick?
-
Tell us what the second opinion was. The evidence you have presented so far all points to an air bag. The fact that it is fairly new does not mean it can not be defective.
