AUDI Q7 3.0 TDI blow out injector!
Discussion
Hello.
I have a Audi Q7 2011 with a 3.0 tdi 176kw.
Has any one seen something like this? A injector blown out and the bolt holding it snapped? The result is a broken return pipe that spilled disel fuel all over the engine compartment and exhaust. I was lucky that the car was still cold and it did not catch fire.
Cheers.

I had exactly the same problem - mine had about 60k on the clock when the injector blew out. Too it to Audi to get fixed, they botched the repair by using a time-sert which failed, and they ended up having to replace the cylinder head as the hole for fixing the new injector was too big due to being drilled out for the time-sert. To cut a long story short, Audi tried to bill me for the 'repair' but ended up, rightly, footing the entire bill.
Interesting to hear this has happened twice before, Audi reckoned this was a first...

Found this after some googling as this has just happened to me on a 2011 Audi A7.
Im guessing that there is half a bolt still in the engine, so what is the best way to go about repairing this, and how much is it going to cost if I take it somewhere! Also what would have caused it?
Any advice on this one would be much appreciated.

Our 2011 Q7 had the same problem. Had been idling rough on start up. mechanic looked at it and suggested we run quality diesel in the car as nothing appeared an issue. Today the engine light came on and then the engine went really rough, missing badly. Turns out the injector bolt had blown out. We found it in the tray snapped about 1 cm down the thread. Tow to the mechanic. Hopefully repairing that fixes the rough idle issue and its not a new problem today...
Hi guys
I have Audi Q7 2010 and I have these issues twice now.... In the beginning when I got my Q7 1 injector failed and as it was under warranty, dealer just replaces it. since then I had issues all the time... 2 blown out injectors with breaking bolts... its been fix but now another injector failed...
So my question is do I need to change all the 6 injectors to don't get this issue again ? Or what is the best thing I Can do.. please advice.
Thanks in advance

We have just had it happen for the second time. Not sure whether it is the same one that was replaced in June or not.
I was also wondering if it was worth getting all of the remaking ones done as a precaution. Any one done this?
Has anyone had a conversation with VAG about this issue on their engines? Poor design or component spec? Is there an upgrade or preventative fix?

I Have Audi Q7 (62) 92k and I have just had this happen again the second time in a month first time warranty company WMS would not pay up even though I had a 5 star 3 year extended warranty, apparently they don’t cover sheared bolts, I wondered if anyone on this thread has had any luck with Audi as this must be a fault and they should be answerable to this?

I have changed all the bolts so hopefully it is “safe” for a bit while longer.
Had a phone call from VW customer services but dont accept that there is a problem because i havent had it repaired through the dealer network.
Didnt expect any help with fixing the issue, but wanted them to acknowledge the fault. Wont even record it as it didnt go for repair at a dealers.

I had this happen last year and by the time my mechanics had got the broken bolt out, the threads were knackered, resulting in having to have a new bolt and seal fabricated.
My second injector has just gone and having removed the bolt I’ve found 5-6 threads from the engine block still on the bolt. Having attempted to put in a new bolt it’s now just spinning due to having no threads. When measuring up it would seem that only half the threads on the bolt go into the block. Seems to be a bit of a design floor there. Surely if the bolt was 100mm longer it would have twice the threads inside and we wouldn’t be having this problem.
