For using an electric water pump: (Granted this thread isn't just for 1.8ts) if using the A) 058 1.8t, uses an external v-belt/serp belt waterpump, for ~$60 you could get this 12v pump and be golden
I know it’s not a Q7, but I’ve got a 2019 C8 A6 and recently had my read pads replaced by an independent, £275 but that also included my MOT at the same time.
Whatever weight the owner's manual says it takes, I'd use that. You'll definitely want to go with a high quality oil though. I personally use Liqui-moly... I have 192,000 on my 2012 A6, and she's still purring right along, a lot of which in my opinion has to do with the higher end oil.
I have that kit on my 2013 A6 and have a set waiting to go on my 2011 S5. I would highly recommend, great quality, have used them on many different vehicles, best bang for buck.
Last one lasted me 70k miles roughly. Rotors and pads. Solid choice.
Within the last 8,000 miles New spark plugs
I have a C7 3.0T A6. I put about 2 quarts of oil in it in between oil changes depending on how hard i drive. I don't have a check engine light. The engine doesn't knock, it runs fine.
My twin turbo A6 came with pirelli summer tires. They are great but wear out fairly quickly
2015 Audi A6 I bought for my daughter not bad as in breaking down just ass backwards European stuff such ass water pump buried in rear of engine everything on engine plastic crappy cheap design of the turbo charger waste gates overpriced parts.
I bought a Bosch battery from a respected online company in the UK. The only change I made was uprating from a 100Ah Varta I think the original was to a 110Ah Bosch S5 015 as I thought more storage would help as the car ages and things are naturally a bit more susceptible to failure. Battery lasted 3 years until about January/Feb 2024 when a cold snap hit and the battery just failed to hold a charge overnight.
