Q7 3.0L V6 towing travel trailer

I have a Q7 3.0L v6 with towing package and I am looking to buy a travel trailer to do some off grid camping so I can hike and bike around while working from home on the road. I have a trailer in mind (Ember Overlander with max solar) and I wondering the Q7 will be able to handle it.

The stats for trailer

GVWR - 5930 lbs
Dry Weight - 4580 lbs
Hitch Weight - 565 lbs

The gross weight and hitch weight don’t seem to exceed the max weight (7700lbs) and hitch (770lbs) amounts but seems close and I imagine it’s good to have some headroom with towing.

Let me know if you think I’m good to get the trailer or if should avoid this and go for a smaller trailer.

Thank you

Front and rear cameras!

Random post, but we recently bought a 2013 Q7 s-line Prestige. It had some Agee related issues, but we got it for an absolute steal, and couldn’t pass it up (it’s a utility vehicle for drives from Florida to NC, beach trips, getting things from the hardware store, etc).

I replaced the battery and have been chasing MMI issues since day one. I chased the MOST system, and isolated it to the Bose amp.

One of the things that REALLY surprised me was that there was not a rear camera.

Turns on… there was. I replaced the amp today, and when we took the car to the store to test it out, THERE WAS NOT ONLY A REAR CAMERA, but also a front camera that allowed us to see 360 around the vehicle.

Don’t know what I did that fixed it, but a high five from the gf was more than worth the price of admission.

We were pumped that we can see where we are backing up now 🤣

2018 Audi Q7 - 3.0 Supercharged Oil Consumption issue - PCV??

currently sitting at 180,000km and aprox every 500km, I'm having to add a litre of oil to keep it from dropping below the "min" line.

I don't see any leaks under the car, there's no lights on the dash, I don't notice any blue smoke out of the exhaust. Engine operates normally but this is unusual amount of consumption for such a low interval.

The only indicator I have is the oil cap has a crazy amount of suction when at idle. Is it most likely the PCV?

Q7 (2017) PCV valve replacement experiences, costs?

Does anybody have experience getting their PCV valve replaced? Our 2017 Q7 is showing the code that indicates we'll need this done, and I'm trying to get an idea on prices before committing. I've heard guesstimates up to $4500, which is pretty steep for our budget. So if anyone has this experience, I'd love to know how it went for you. What did it cost? Did you use a dealer or local mechanic? Did anyone try to upsell you to replacing other parts while they had the engine dismantled, etc. And if anyone happens to be near Lehi, Utah, I'd especially want your advice. Thanks.

The new BMW G65 X5. Thoughts?

BMW just unveiled the fifth-generation X5, and the spec sheet is absolute madness! For the first time ever, it supports FIVE separate powertrains: Petrol, Diesel, PHEV, Electric (iX5), and Hydrogen

• iX5 EV: 578hp, 450kW+ charging, & 500-mile range
• M60e PHEV: 612hp & 0-100 km/h in 4.5 secs
• “Winglet" door handles
• Windscreen-wide "Panoramic Vision" display
• LED headlights with double X light icons

It even introduces a "Symbiotic Drive" system allowing hands-free motorway cruising, complete with automatic lane.
changes triggered simply by looking at your side mirror.

The mild-hybrids drop this November, with the full EVs and PHEVs due in early 2027.

Replacement trim?

New to the club as of today! (2019 Premium). The first thing I did when I pulled into the garage was to remove the front license plate holder. However, do they sell the replacement trim pieces for the gap now found in its place?

Life expectancy of my Q7

2021 45 TSI with ~67.5k miles. Bought the expensive warranty which is good through 75k miles. It’s been a great car with minimal issues. Never left me stranded! Some bugs here and there - typical Audi stuff. Had motor mounts replaced and a leaky shock replaced both under warranty around 45k miles. I do smell coolant after drives but no signs of leaks.

Realistically, how long could I possibly keep this thing? I love it, no desire to sell it. But I do wonder about its longevity. Any higher mileage 2.0ts out there?

2021 SQ7 Map Update?

Hey everybody!

Just took delivery of a new-to-us 2021 Audi SQ7 last week, noticed the maps are a tad out of date. I went to the dealership today to have the car looked over and the servicing guy told me to turn on "automatic map updates" through the MMI and connect it to my home's Wi-Fi. The car doesn't seem to be able to externally connect (maybe due to the year) to Wi-Fi and when I search "Map Updates" in the myAudi app it says there's no updates found. Has anyone seen this before? Anyone know how to update the maps with this kind of situation?

CarPlay glitching via Bluetooth

Hi, I have a 2022 Q7 and lately, CarPlay has been going to a black screen every couple minutes. I can go to the Home Screen and re-select it, but then it happens again. Does anyone have experience with this and managed to solve the problem?

Audi Interior Facelift

What are they thinking??? Is this self dealing Corporate Sabotage???

Since 2010-2025 Audi design has only gotten better improving upon a solid foundation of engineering, new technology and refinement.

So what happened?????

Did BMW/Mercedes send a operatives to AUDI design team to purposely conduct Malfeasance derailing the fundamentals that brought succes destroying progress and litterly engage in Corporate sabotage??

Or

Did somebody just get lazy and asked Chat GPT to cheat a new Face lift that humanity will enjoy???

Because

I love to meet the person who created the new face lift and then meet the person that signed off on this decision making.

Sometimes people need to be punched in the face it builds character and this kind of s*** doesn't happen

Timing chain rattle??

I have a 2018 Q7. I’ve noticed this sound, I am not sure if it is the timing chain rattle or some other thing.

I hear it on start up and there has been maybe 1-2 times where I hear it at idle when the car is warmed up.

I haven’t been able to find a good video that also shows what the timing chain rattle sounds like

The new Q7 is ugly and I can prove it!

I love Audis and have always thought they are like the technical German choice, especially the q7. I know people thought the first gen was ugly but I always liked it and anyways it’s far better looking that the new monstrous thing we have today. The issues is that the new Q7 is a last gen Hyundai Santa Fe like literally even down to the interior…. I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE GERMANY STOP GIVING US THESE UGLY ASS LUXURY CARS!!! Don’t mind my meltdown, maybe I’m wrong I will let the audience decide.

4M.5 2.0T AFTERMARKET OPTIONS

If this has been previously discussed please do post a link.

Not interested in starting a “3.0” is better conversation. Understood the 3.0 is more performance oriented and thus has a larger aftermarket presence.

What I am interested in is how the 2.0T in the Q7 differs from any other Audi 2.0T in say the A4, A6 or Q5.

Why is it that the APR ECU UPGRADE - 2.0T EA888 GEN 3 (LONGITUDINAL) which is for the below models does not apply to the Q7?

Or the 034 Dynamic+ options for the B9/9.5 Q5 2.0T?

What makes it different?

Thanks in advance. Just trying to gain some knowledge.

Audi A4 17-20, A4 allroad 17-20, A4 Quattro 17-20, A5 Quattro 18-20, A5 Sportback 18-20, A6 17-18, A6 Quattro 16-18, Q5 18-21, Q5 PHEV 20-22, Q5 Sportback 21-22; Porsche Macan 17-21
