What owners wrote
Audi 2010 q7 tdi fuel filler problems. On several occasions, approximately 1 in 4 fuel stops (current mileage 9,200 miles), I have been unable to insert a fuel pump nozzle into the fuel filler neck on the vehicle due to a vertical bar just inside the filler opening. If fuel is dispensed, its is rejected onto the outside of the vehicle and ground. Possible fire risk.
This is a tdi version of the q7. The high pressure fuel pump failed during normal use and sent metal parts through the fuel lines, through the fuel filter and into the combustion chambers. As a result, the engine ceased and we were left stranded in the middle of the road on a winding canyon road. The engine block was damaged; the crank shaft bent, the pistons damaged the heads and many other parts were destroyed.
