Has anyone else experienced problem with Q7 3.0tdi running rough and off a cylinder?
Car has been inspected by Audi Garage and No3 Conrod Bent. Garage informed me that they have just replaced an engine in another Q7 the previous week with exactly same problem, bent conrod on cylinder No3.
Any info welcome.

Have you suffered any coolant loss before this occurred or excess smoke from possible defective injector,also have you driven through any big puddles causing water to be drawn into the engine.I'm not aware of any bent conrods from mechanical failure but i have seen this issue occur from the last floods in my area.

No , never seen any coolant loss or any smoking due to leaking injector. Happened after recent cold spell where temperature was as low as -16 degrees C.
