Audi Q7 parts reviews

Been running these on my Q7 the last few winters. I’m in MA and it seems like we rarely get snow anymore, and the dry performance feels pretty on par with my all seasons. Just got back from a trip to VT where it was insanely cold, icy, and snowy and did a fair bit of driving on unpaved unplowed roads with no issue. I even intentionally tried to break traction or get the ABS to trigger and it just refused.

I just did the brakes on my Audi. Front was easy, back needed a compression tool to push the piston back and an OBDII module/app to retract the electric brakes. It’s easier than my old Nissan or the Volvo XC90 I had before the Audi.

My wife has crossclimates on her Q7 and they are amazing. Much better than her previous all seasons.

I think my wife's Q7 has...6 pistons in the front brake calipers. Your Honda Pilot, which is larger, has one piston per caliper.

I drive a 15 year old gas powered Audi Q7. Still runs like new. My issue with EVs is you can't just keep them tuned up when they're old. No matter how good of care you take of it, the battery will decay and lose capacity.

I smelled coolant on my 2019 Audi Q7 when it had 50,000 miles. Took it to the local Audi dealership. They swore up and down no issues. I kept a very close eye on the coolant levels. Slowly kept going down. Took it back two weeks later, and the water pump needed replaced.

I recently had to have my water pump replaced. I had the vehicle diagnosed at the dealer and then had an indie mechanic do the work. Saved me a bunch of cash. Mine wasn’t overheating, but it had leaked coolant into the vacuum system which caused my turbo to not build enough boost.

Verdesteins that i put on my q7 were trash. All 4 went bald within 20k miles !!

Zimmermann discs + Textar OEM pads

• After ~2 weeks → felt a clicking/grip when braking no squeak

• Recently brought it back again → they cleaned discs/pads applied lube and even replaced the pads

• Now 2 days later → clicking/grip is back + a new squeak at low speed in parking

Why do Audi’s burn through so much oil? One thing I don’t miss about my 2019 Q7 is the constant adding quarters of oil throughout the year.
