That’s how I should describe the engine, but unfortunately it’s not the final step towards the diesel throne on the Audi Q7 I. 4.2 TDI V8 of 335 horsepower – Elastic, fantastic, bombastic.There are no particular issues, only the timing chain costs so much to replace that many prefer to sell the car rather than to take the plunge and do it. 3.0 TDI V6 of 230 and 240 horsepower – The most popular engine on the Audi Q7 I by far, this luxury village bike has been mounted on everything from VW Fox to Audi Q7.There is no point in talking about the rest of the maintenance. Basically, a 1.0 Lupo engine comes out of your engine and leaves. For a refrigerator-sized engine, on the other hand, these deposits can cut up to 50 horsepower if you don’t clean them up. FSI and TFSI engines have issues with carbon deposits on the valves, but in a small engine it’s usually a negligible amount. 4.2 V5 FSI of 345 horsepower – We are already in the car stratosphere, where a scratch turns into a deep cut.But at least it’s the kind of engine where you put gas and change the oil and filters on time and that’s about it. 3.6 V6 FSI of 276 horsepower – Probably the most reliable engine on the first Q7, but unfortunately it doesn’t go well with the LPG system.Yes, there are occasional issues with the oil consumption, but believe me this is your last problem when talking about Audi Q7 maintainance. 3.0 Turbo V6 of 272 and 333 horsepower – Launched in 2010 on the facelift version, the smallest engine on the Audi Q7 I offers adequate performance for this mastodon.And a lot of money was thrown out of the window of the Audi Q7 I. Because the Audi Q7 was a car built for the American public, right before the crisis, when people were throwing money out the window. People who can afford to buy them but not necessarily maintain them. Who you see today driving around in an Q7 of the first generation are either bands who need those 7 seats for the whole band + clarinet, or people who have chosen other paths in life. And speaking of 2007, the Audi Q7 I was one of the leading cars before the crisis and one of it’s first victims. People who made a lot of money in 2007 from various sources. People who usually wear satin shirts 2 sizes smaller, to highlight their bare chest and lower abdomen. We have instead a plethora of refined gentlemen. In Europe however, we don’t have 50 Cent. The interior space is measured in acres, the engine capacity is measured in barrels and the value is measured in Macklemore’s bling. Because when you have a Q7, size doesn’t matter anymore. And because they wanted to launch it as soon as possible, they based the Q7 on the Touareg and Cayenne platform, after which they pulled it by the legs and stretched it to an absolutely decent and sensitive 5,085 meters, that is 5.1 -meters-does-it-even-matter in length. Only that concept was so successful that Audi decided to put the Audi Q7 I mastodon into production, and in 2005 it was ready to go and in 2006 it was already at dealerships, put up for sale for prices of 6 digits in $.

Kind of like what would 50 Cent drive if he were allergic to burgers and Coke Zero. The Audi Q7 I was first launched in 2002 at an American car show as an image exercise. Audi Q7 I, I guess I’ll have fun with this article. I once saw Catalin Botezatu’s Q7s in the same way he sees what is behind the underwear of the models from his fashion house. Audi Q7 I, the official car mobster car of 2008.
