mark Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hi, ive had my Q7 since December 8th and its averaging 30mpg, managed to get it upto 32.7 on some country A roads this morning but i was driving at 50mph all the time. Im not aware of any known issues but i would still check all the usual things like uneven tyre wear, oil leaks, signs of bad crash repairs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I think the economy would be slightly better than that to be honest, as Mark has already said. I hear Q7's are quite reliable too. Glen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vw754 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Thanks to both glen and mark...........you give me some good info,ive heard turbos fail,intake flap motors,but have heard there good reliable engines,and the auto gearbox's are very reliable not like the new audi ones you get today(crap) heard they are the old style gearboxe's.........oh and i heard they eat tyres every 9-10k !
