So i've done enough testing, £30 of Shell V-Power, as light as possible on acceleration and no heated seats and ive peaked at 86.1 miles which has put me back to 35 miles remaining on the trip display which is the same place i always refil at. So whats your thoughts? To put into perspective this car could probably take £90 to fill the tank which taking my peak of 86.1 miles per £30 would return 258.3 miles for a tank :/ My dad just went to wales (250 miles) for £20 granted you cant compare because of the weight and size of the engine but is this the best it can achieve?

Thanks mikey, wouldnt mind an hours drive to get a good remap. Did you have a Q7 done by them? Just curious what it was like afterwards?

Hi brad, Thanks again for the reply, well i purchased the car on the 18th December and my dad drove the car back from Manchester. I purchased the car knowing there was a probable faulty turbo which turned out to be turbo and both sides of the manifold. Once back home i booked it in the Best Turbos in Oldbury (West Midlands) i only received the car back around a week ago and had it insured for the last 3 days so i cant really do any before and after the duff turbo comparisons. The car has no smoke problems, it pulls great when you put your foot down and when i first purchased the car i plugged in a cheap Amazon OBD reader and it said no faults.. that said i actually have two warnings on my dash saying theres an issue with the back lights (all of the lights work fine) so im skeptical if that OBD was reading it properly anyway now... Because of how depressing the MPG trip display was i disabled it as the best i could get was 17MPG, after replying to you i re-enables it and its now showing better results (22.9mpg) im wondering if after the turbo and service they did its breaking in so to speak? The cars booked in for a free health check on the 24th at Audi halesowen, hopefully they will notice something wrong because this cars costing me £60 for 4 days worth of driving so far :O my little ford focus by now would have needed £20 tops

Hi Brad, Thanks for your response, yes the car was being driven with a duff turbo and a hole in the one side of the manifold and one bolt snapped from the other side of the manifold. I was told who ever had this car before just didn't care about it, im actually skeptical about its service as well as it appears to have been done by the guys who had it before the guy who sold it to me. The cars mpg just doesnt seem to add up, right now im in the car and it says i have 125 miles, ill drive the car with light acceleration back home and report what miles it states then, i can almost gaurantee my 3 mile trip home will knock 10 miles off regardless of my driving style. At the moment its 90% short town journeys (3 to 11 miles approx each trip) Cheers.

Hi All, Finally got my Q7 turbo reconditioned and manifold welded so ive had a chance to drive the car. What has really shocked me however is my fuel economy, i put in £30 of V-Power and that added 100 miles on the trip screen. I managed to cycle through the trip screens and can see that im getting 17.0MPG.. im driving very sensibly around town 30-40MPH average so i just wanted to know if this is normal? Thanks all.

Hi All, I have a 2006 Audi Q7 having the turbo reconditioned at the moment but I am planning to get it remapped. Does anyone know any reputable places in the West Midlands for a custom map? And also, if anyone has theres already mapped could you give some insight as to how it is? Cheers.
