As I of stated in another thread, I was driving my Q7 last saturday, and nothing wrong with it...went for dinner at 7:00PM and out of the restaurant about 9:00PM and engine failed to start. (it started raining about 8:00PM)
Got it towed home, and tried to start it again on sunday...it started for about 5 min...and shuts down.
I sent it to Audi yesterday morning...and after 1 day of diagnostic, the figured out that there is some water in the ECU (they said you can see the water leaking from the ECU)
So...today I went to pick my ECU up, they already got it opened and you can really see some dried water/liquid marks on the ECU's board
Anyone? I have no idea why water will go in the ECU, but I really think that's not a good place for the ECU.
Ps. By the way, I'm not the only one, there are two more Q7s in local Audi with the same problem, there is one caused by washing it's engine.
