Engine · reported Oct 7, 2026

Our 2015 Audi Q7 start using a lot of oil under 100,000 miles. Dealership replace turbocharger oil seals but that didn't fix the issue. The engine failed oil consumption test and was told the vehicle is safe to drive but will need to add oil every 1,000 miles. Engine failed three months later. Contact Audi of North American about the problem and ask about replacement engine because a vehicle of that type quality should not be having those type of issuea with low mileage.

I strongly believe they want the warranty to expire so the customer has to pay for cost of the catalyst.…

I checked and the whole arm broke, not the wiper blade. The drivers side is fine. I read that this is a common issue and that many drivers have had the exact issue on the same side. This spans over several years. I saw from 2008 Q7 to 2016.
