Long term reliability? 2017 Q7

[Jimingle10]

I'm still driving my 2012 A6 3.0t, which now has 194k miles and APR stage 2 since 45k. I love the power and reliability of this car.

I bumped into what I think is a decent deal on a 2017 Q7 Prestige w/ 70k miles. It has the adaptive chassis/4ws option. As cool as that feature sounds, I wonder how much of a headache it will be in the next couple years? Has anyone gone over 100k miles on one of these yet? Cold climate? Any issues? Thoughts?

My 2018 has 53k and my dads 2017 has over 60k miles. Both with air and 4ws. Both of us have already have to replace cooling components (water pumps) - mine still under warranty. Mine is out of warranty now and says the aux supercharger loop coolant pump is dead. Front cameras on both cars fog when wet.

All normal stuff. So far the CREC motor seems strong but has similar cooling issues (minor) to other 3.0t

Same here around 50k, except I don’t have the supercharger cooling issue.

My wife’s 2017 has been non problematic, but we’re only at about 55k on that one..

Tires, plugs and pads coming soon!
