    It is half that price BTW, and I would be interested to see how much an equivalent “all component” extended warranty is to cover the Q7. I’m sure there’s an element of brand premium but at the end of the day using their insurance I expect makes it a hell of a lot easier just getting your broken car fixed at a main dealer when you need it without any hassle, which is worth something.

    I have to change the shut off valve for the 2nd time in 65000km, the car has 67000km, the first time when I’ve changed it, the old part wasn’t upgraded so I got it changed under warranty with the same P/N. This time it seems a new P/N is available since mie-2018, 059121737AR.
    This time even if the car is still under warranty Audi has been a little bit reluctant on supporting the cost, around 800euros, but after some litigation and telling them that I’m gonna sue them, they agreed to support the cost. The car is part of a fleet and has maintenance fleet contract and warranty, don’t know how much this matters though.

    I have suffered with the coolant leak issue since I bought my approved used Q7 in January.

    Took the car in last week, and thankfully they are fixing it under the 12 month warranty.

    Thought I’d have an argument there.

    Just had my Q7 3.0 TDi repaired after it started losing too much coolant.

    Brilliant service again from my local Independent VAG service - Pony Road Auto Specialists, Oxford - who confirmed the faulty part was the inlet valve and replaced it.

    Was pleased to hear that it didn’t need any other parts (in other cases the coolant has corroded seals requiring more expensive work) though it was a £500+ job.

    Peace of mind now though.
    Cheers

    Good result there George, keep an eye on it though, as you will need to top it up at least once as the air escapes.

    £500, what was the labour charge? The valve is a common pattern part, £30+ on EBay, maybe £70 at most from a motor factor.

    There’s a lot of engine disassembly work involved to get to it apparently. I think mine took most of day at dealer, all in. Rates much higher than independent, but luckily covered by extended warranty.

    Looks like my q7 might have succumbed to the same issue. Notice a leak on the driveway put some cardboard under the car and looks like it's pink colour.

    Booked into dealer for investigation but next available appt is beginning of June.

    Car has extended warranty, did most people with extended warranty get this fixed, under earranty sounds like there was push back but the dealership helped fight the cause.

    Mine was all fine under warranty (could well
    Have been just inside the three years) my guess is it’ll be covered under the all component extension if you have that. Plus I’d use the it’s a common fault - Andy posted a TSB number earlier in the thread also I think. Good luck with it but nothing until June seems strange as I got my car serviced earlier this week booked in couple weeks back but with appts available from next day.
