Is this a coincidence? I'm having an issue with my A7 with almost 15k miles on it. I smelled antifreeze inside the car and guess what it turns out my A7 has a leaking thermostat and water pump (getting newer water pump with a new part number to replace it) Hmmmmmm....that means they put on a defective water pump knowing it was defective. Build date is: 10/18/2016, and I purchased it 12/20/16. Passenger side door paneling was loose from missing screws/latches. Oil light popped on and 1 qt down of oil.....and had it in for maintenance in Sept 2017. Is something Fishy going on? Audi also stated I had rocks (pebbles) built up on my brake pads and the reason for the noise coming from my rotors. I believe I have warped rotors.

Anyone else having these same issues?

I found puddles of oil and antifreeze right before my warranty was up. Dealer took it in and found leaking water pump, broken hydraulic motor mount and ACC not working properly. Everything was fixed and ACC still didn't work. Ordered a new computer module and still didn't work. Ordered a new data cable and still didn't work. Ordered another new data cable and still didn't work. Then...……………..they flashed the computer and BAM! ACC WORKS!! Stupid. They had my car for 3 weeks.

As for the oil, these cars burn oil to my knowledge. They also have sticky brakes. You have to change to a different pad to calm them down. At least that's what I've been told.

Hi, we have a 2016 A3 with 22k miles. the water pump blew this weekend. I'm so bummed that this car is a POS. If the pump is crap, what else is crap?
