Revived! My 346k mile Audi A7 TDI Hits the Road Again -- Service History, Tour, and Whats Next 

I' m Spanish and have one of those, it's stage 1 tuned, with 300 HP and 680 Nm of torque, and it's a beast!!!!!!! Just an sporty car with an incredible 25 MPG average fuel consumption. The problem of the tune is that the Stronic (here, in Spain, this car suites dual clutch trans) will suffer . But in your country, where suites the automatic trans (zf 8HP), the tune is a must!!!!!

Now you got it back on the road, just drive it and enjoy it. Can’t wait for the detailing video

The stuff the extended warranty covers usually fails because of the emissions system anyway. They're extremely reliable once deleted, get a signficant MPG boost and the 80hp extra on a stage 2 tune is a good bonus.

I have to admit that deserves some respect. Most people would just scrap or junk a car with that many miles once a repair costs a certain amount. Kudos to you sir for keeping a well used Audi on the road. As far as what to do next? Maybe update the infotainment and sound system? Lovely looking car as is so doesn't really need much in the way of body kit mods. Tune it for sure at least to stage 1/1+.

Whoa, the previous owner replaced all injectors and DPF, that's very good.I also have a 3.0tdi Phaeton with 160.000miles. I suspect the new engine have the original chains so it's still a problem for the distant future, not to worry about but just change oil at 7k miles max and 5w30 only!

Very interesting story. I just bought this same car in the UK

Just Drive it and Enjoy it.. don't mess it up with altering .. with normal oil changes and maintenace.. you can take it to a million miles.. 👍

Keep the car "as is" without mods, enjoy it and take to 500,000+ miles

Have paint correction, revivify nano-coating/ceramic coating,PPE AND be aggresively early on your oil changes (Audis recommended oil change interval is total BS) - less dirty oil circulating internally.The additionally factory warranty is short - chances are you'll encounter more problems and headaches. Tune it and that torque is enough to make you swear and possibly smile like the Joker

So glad you changed the engine..and you now have a fantastic car that should cover at least another 150,000 to 200,000 miles..👍🤛🤛

All that maintenance would’ve been a lot cheaper at a local (well known) German car shop but that’s the last owners problem lol. Nice car man, really clean for the mileage

Hutchinson auto on the southside down from UAB are great and honest

Do you recall, my DPF went out a month after I bought my TDI and it was covered. So many super expensive components are covered under that warranty, if you read it. It is the only reason I bought the car because otherwise, it was an expensive gamble. $1800 for labor. My VW dealer wanted $1k to replace the thermostat on my TDI. Crazy! F you're states fees. Your A7 looks really nice, when I bought my MK6 with 62k it wasn't this clean.

The drive back to home chewed the engine up for a reason, and I suspect swarf and debris in the oil pan, it should have been dropped cleaned or replaced to remove the sediment and sludge. I think the previous owner did smaller journeys which didn't disturb the good and dirt in the oil pan, a state to state drive will push so much oil around the pan it into the oil circulation like a shaken snow globe. Its so unfortunate because it would've been interesting to see this car go 500k or a Million miles on one engine like a Toyota, Honda, Saab, Volvo. The bloated sensor based electronic system and German analysissy has turn the A7 into a cost computer. As nice as the previous owner seemed he knew or felt it was going out, or else he would have driven the wheels off it. I know that sounds mean but in the car trade I've had plenty types of people lie to me that where wealthy, upper class even a children clown. Poorer social people tend not to lie as easily because they have a sense of guilt that chews them up.

I can understand why people dump these cars before 100k the service and parts are crazy

Thats a respectable mileage

Just subscribed watching your last video on this car

Seems like he didnt have too many issues before 300k--pretty good.

so those 58k for service, could of been about 20k at indie shop.

Tune it!

What price you bought it for?

There is a really nice car and unique experience. With this high mileage this car is still in the mint conditions. I believe to dump this car would be the biggest sin))

Tune it

Do you have an update on this car?

the seller stitched you up a kipper

Questions2 - Where or what brand software to update the MMI? And have you entertained deleting it and Malone Tune?

What did you pay for the car? If around $6-7k then you got a deal and now you’re ahead. It was the fuel system that ruined your engine. The engine would have kept going had the HPFP failed. 346k miles it was due.

whats that ticking sound?? hahaha

Take the warranty unless it’s really important to you to have an extra 20% torque.

I hope you get it deleted because if you do it’s gonna get much better fuel mileage, power and last a lot longer with less things to worry about.

when is da next vid comin
