Buying Tips for the 2016–2018 Audi A7 (4G8)

  • ✓Listen carefully on a cold start for a brief, sharp rattle from the rear of the V6 engines; this indicates stretched timing chains or failing tensioners, a huge engine-out repair.
  • ✓Verify the operation of the motorized pop-up rear spoiler, which can seize due to dirt or failed motors.
  • ✓Check the S tronic (DL501) 7-speed gearbox for shuddering when pulling away or reversing, signaling impending clutch pack or mechatronic failure.
  • ✓Ensure the air suspension (if fitted) rises evenly and holds pressure overnight; drooping points to leaky airbags or a worn-out compressor.
  • ✓Inspect the frameless door windows to ensure they drop slightly upon opening; failed microswitches can lead to damaged weather seals and wind noise.
