    Hi, We need help please 🙏 Audi q7 crca 2012

    It's an emergency. Spill pipe line came off. I'm on a trip in Italy. Driving on the aoutostrada like 120kmh putting pressure i think. Suddenly the car spitts out big smoke clouds in the exhausts then died. We could only start the car with start gas and it knockt first loud then started possible to rev upp to like 3000rpm. Loads of smoke from exhaust. We stopped the car it had 0 idle. Then we saw diesel in the exhaust dripping out. The service where they left the car after towing. They want $6000+ to fix the car. I think that fire copper ring broke and took in oil or water and caused the smoke. Can that be right?Code says something like to high pressure according to the Italian service center.
    I work on cars a little bit. Fix brakes built an exhaust for my Bentley, change oil and filters, change sparkplugs, change tyres by hand etc. But I'm not a pro.

    Can i fix this my self with parts and tools on site? Do i have to change the injector that broke? How do i code the injectors?

    If its possible to fix then first i go home with the family by airplane then come back to fix the car.

    Regards
    Mr Me

    You need to get the car home, stand back and take a breath... or three.

    Can you outline you plan a bit better, and what work you will do where?

    Renting a workshop with tools in Italy, checking the cylinders are clean, finding which parts you need, etc in a time-frame that doesn't itself create lots of expense seems quite ambitious. But maybe you have a friend's house to tow it to and work at?

    Now its going to be towed to "Audi quattro service" local company and they are going to do a troubleshooting for free. But the first company did that to but they just said what they had to do to find the problem and what it "could be". But I hope next company do a real search. As you said there can be parts in the cylinder and I think that's the hard part for me to fix on site. Don't know anyone here.
    But I think one injector is done and had put pressure on the return pipe. And then it broke and header leaked into the cylinder and cooled the diesel so it continued through the system. Or it could be "****" keeping the injector open.

    Plan is know sending it to "Audi Quattro Service" wating for their offer on fixing it, they speak English so it is easier to communicate. And then going home by airplane. If it is to expensive then I will rent in cartransport and bring it back home to Sweden myself.

    That sounds like a decent plan. Good luck with it all.

    Yes I do but only to a repair shop. I had engine insurance but only up to 10 years old cars 😔 lost it within a cuple of months. They have done compression tests etc. now. And checked the glow plugs 3 of them were wet. Also checked all injectors. All orings and fire rings were fine. Now it can be the issue that the first repair shop suspected. Injector or injectors staying open. Might be dirt inside. They will send all injectors to a "injectors specialist" to see if they can clean them or find anything wrong. I have to wait until wedenesday to see the results.
