4 banger or v6? I don’t trust 4-bangers
Gotta go with the underpowered v-8 gx460 engine if buying

Retail. That repair won’t cost Audi $27k and they write it off as a loss anyway.

Did it still have any warranty on a 2017? I am concerned our 2018 2.0 will blow up!
That’s a different motor.
Yes it is. Does that mean only the 3.0 has this issue?

2017 Q7 3.0 here.
Waterpump leaks then overheats and now indications of head gasket blown.
Smell of coolant when driven, overheats when climb hills, misfiring and engine shakes with white smoke. My mechanic bro in law change the coils positions and spark plugs positions, and that seems to stop misfiring. Engine now runs smooth and quiet.
But despite it runs fine I think the head gasket is blown.
It will overheats and misfire again.
What to do?
110K miles on the engine
