Why does the check engine light in my Q7 turn on when I start my car?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Q7 firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Why is my Audi Q7 making engine noise?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Audi Q7 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Audi Q7 engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Is it okay to put water in my Audi Q7 radiator?

However, if you need to continue driving your Q7 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What can cause a Q7 engine to suddenly stop?
