“My 2010 audi q7 with 59k miles engine light came on and it was starting pretty rough. I brought it 200 yards up the street to my local garage and they said it's a bigger deal and to bring it to the dealership. They told me it's a timing chain issue and I looked it up and saw the class action lawsuit, recall, and settlement on most audi's - but seemed to exclude q7. Researching, I found out audi decided in 2008 to change their timing chain. Even tho I showed them the maintenance records of oil changes less than 10k miles, they declined to pick up the cost of the repair.this is clearly a recall issue.”Owner report · Engine · Oct 2020
