Hi all, bought a Q7 3 litre tdi a couple months ago and it has a couple issues that are baffling me!! Appreciate any help or pointers from you guys with q7, I only had one audi before which was a TT.
The main issue the car has is that whenever I drive through a large puddle or standing water or even a river recently the power steering fails as soon as the tyres hit the water. When I look in the engine bay I see a central under tray approx width of front grill but either side of this by the wheels I just see the road. So it's clear the water is hitting the drive belt causing pas failure briefly. I been to audi and some techs say it should have other under trays yet parts department say there are none others listed. Then I looked under an identical model to mine in car park and it looks same as mine. I can't believe that my audi 4x4 is incapable of going through puddles but I can't seem to solve it....? Anyone able to say if their q7 has this issue or any more under trays??
Also when I turn hard right from standstill and accelerate away I get loud clicking from left wheel, any ideas? I'm guessing cv joint....
Other than these issues I'm loving the car and it has great spec with pan roof, full extended leather, s line, heated seats, bi xenons, full nav mmi. Any help much appreciated!!!
