This is a monster of a car, it certainly belies its age, not looking hopelessly outdated. It certainly displays that image of opulence and prestige, that only a car like this can. Also it’s amazing value for money at that price. It’s not my cup of tea, but I’m guessing it will appeal to someone, good luck with the sale Joe❤.
The good old DPF removal. The usual route of a owner or mechanic who would rather get rid of it rather than try and understand how they work. As a ruff figure, 9 out of 10 issues with a DPF are caused by an underlying issue of some sort. In most cases a blocked DPF is a symptom not the cause. Totally unrelated slight rant but it is what it is.
My son's best friend has a Q7, and is looking to move it on, as it is a bit of a high maintenance queen. My son told him about my little Honda CR-Z hybrid and how cheap it is to run, so he is investigating getting a hybrid that suits his needs. My brother has an X5 3.5 diesel twin turbo which is a rapid car and is very comfortable, but the mpg is horrendous.
Yeah, flog it on Joe, you dont need a possible 2nd issue and headache again. I'm glad you and Sofie had a good holiday and found the time to relax together.
Q7's generally seem like a nightmare to sell with warranty. Buyers guilt is huge, insurance, road tax & wider running costs on these things are just silly, whilst offering little of that 'prestige' brand appeal people go for these days. Used to see them everywhere when they came out, then they dissepared overnight.
Why are people making disparaging comments about a vehicle they aren't interested in or can't afford to own? It is the prefect vehicle for someone and since they are paying the associated costs it is their business how they spend their money.
This Q7 is one of those cars that I’d love to drive but not own as I think I’d just be waiting for the next thing to break (expensively) - how does it pass an MOT with the EML on?
Great Video and content. I would love to own one of these Q7s, need to get a better-paid job so I can get a car, but then I guess it is expensive to run.
Hi Joe. That Q7 seems to be a Well sorted Car in all fairness. I would love to get it up in the Air to see if if it looks as good. I bet it's not leaking anything and the C.V joints are Newish lol. Great Score. I wouldn't mind driving it for awhile, but after the Second day I would be Broke from buying Petrol lol. Have you still got that Smart Car Joe, because i need it! 😮😮 lol 😅🇨🇮. P.S Shifting Metal's Videos are always 100% Brilliant. 👏👏
I won't lie, I hate it. Big thirsty truck that will cost a fortune to maintain and will be a pig to park in our narrow British car park spaces. Worse still it isn't factory standard, so Audi dealers will look down their noses at it. However for a grand it is tremendous value in this market. Tailgating bell ends who want to make people think they earn a lot more than they actually do, form an orderly queue!
@@Rednerb64 Owned all the premium brands over the years Audi, BM, Jag, Range ,Lexus etc etc. All low mile big engined top spec models and the Audi's were always the most unreliable and underwhelming to own/drive.
Yes and would fail MoT (if access to undercarriage visible and emissions test could fail anyway). Technically, he shouldn’t be driving it blatantly telling everyone it has no DPF 😂
Big jugs. Brilliant. 1k Q7 always going to go forward. Totally robbed. Looks very meh now. Thanks for reminding us about your court case Q7. Exactly reason don’t buy them. I’d have ball bid them likewise and would too end up with it this kinda insane money. 1k. Can lose than more than you paid one bad day with bookies at racecourse.

a lot of car for the money but a lot of money to run the car
Mines doing 15mg 😂😂😂
Smashing the videos this year! Loving the content, 2024 is going to be great for sure😁
Thanks!

700 quid to tax ours

Great car for the money. Lots of metal to the pound !.
I think you’d do well out of breaking that
A mate of mine had one these in his workshop for repair, the bill came to 9K ! It's now got suspension and other problems, Nightmare vehicle !
This Q7 is one of those cars that I’d love to drive but not own as I think I’d just be waiting for the next thing to break (expensively) - how does it pass an MOT with the EML on?
Mine passes every year only issue it eats fuel ,tax is high and goes through tyres 😂
A jug on the front and a jug on the back, I bet it's not the first time you've fiddled with a pair of jugs on a cold and frosty morning😉
It's been "de-jugged" 😆😆😆
Good job you are working 😊
Great Video and content. I would love to own one of these Q7s, need to get a better-paid job so I can get a car, but then I guess it is expensive to run.
Very I have one too
@flippingcarsrepairs, so I am better off not owning one 😂
Had a ride in a Q7 3.0 TDI but didn't like it. The Q5 2.0 TDI was much nicer.

Thanks Liam! Yes I have a few smart cars at the moment 😬
@@ShiftingMetal Joe if you can get it to Ireland anywhere I will Buy it
You wouldn't be broke from buying petrol, mate. 😂
TH-cam going to have to bring a Vehicle score and Car Vertical filter soon lool
😂😂😂
Must Be Able To Squirrel Through Motion Lotion LOL
My dream car but dream finance for me
Much did it sell for joe in the end?
Soon get that light out, for a grand what a great hack 😊
That would do me for picking up sales cars.
That's what I use mine for u never notice it pulling 😂
Nice to see a real life de-jugging, yeah thanks Joe,
🤣 Glad you enjoyed it
Hi I would be intrested in buying it
beast of a car
Not for me. 4.2 really????? no DPF really? no wonder you will not retail it.
Rare pan roof on a q7
I think for a grand it's a total bargain

Couldn't have put it better myself!
Great car I have 1
Love these ❤
Glad you gave buttons for it as these are epic levels of unreliable! Could probably double your money just parting it out.
Mines still running strong
Talking rubbish. Only unreliable if not maintained properly. If you can't afford to service something, don't buy it, then moan when it goes wrong.

Isn`t it illegal to remove the DPF
I would not have bought it. remapped etc no dpf, its been messed with!!
Yes and would fail MoT (if access to undercarriage visible and emissions test could fail anyway). Technically, he shouldn’t be driving it blatantly telling everyone it has no DPF 😂
Wow fab
Just a no. Sorry. A pain potential. Oh. It was 1k. Great buy. Totally love it. lol. Hate to love in less than 5 seconds
👍🏻👌🏻
The kind of car you should definitely buy before they become illegal. Sadly at my age not viable but you young un's should enjoy while you can.

High price , tax , tyres , fuel,service,pads,insurance,raoair, dpf.just get a 1.2 and remap the life out of it.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
what a car they certainly dont make them how they do now . a+ .
Totally 👍 🤝
Man you need to double the adverts to fuel that beast .. adverts adverts adverts adverts adverts adverts adverts superb eh ...greed and total trash
