What the data shows

This 2017 Audi Q7 3.0T has a supercharged engine with known cooling system and PCV failures. At 125k miles, expect to replace the water pump, thermostat, and PCV, and clean the intake valves. The supercharger intercooler bricks can leak coolant into the engine — a critical issue. The price is reasonable, but budget at least about $6,200 for immediate service.
