    Love/hate relationship with my B7

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I know certain cars are prone to their issues but problems every 7 months is ridiculous. It began in 2013 and still today, the car has issues like clockwork about every 6-7 months. And it is the common problems like leaking fuel injectors, bad fuel pump, bad thrust sensor, bad off pcv vlave and so on. In November 2014, the leaky injector was on cylinder #4. Seven months later, it was cylinder #3. Now I replaced all of those crappy injectors. But then 7 days later, I'm having low fuel pressure issues. All of these problems are common in the B7 platform but they happen so close together. Am I the only one???

    Sounds like you're just lucky :) I've done a lot of replacing on my B7 too, but the vast majority of it has just been preventative maintenance. The only true issues I've run into so far were the crappy PCV/valve cover gasket issue and motor mounts that were barfing Barney blood. Even after all the work and looking forward to all the fun things I get to replace in the coming years I'd still take my B7 over something like a Camry or other lame but allegedly reliable family sedan.

    My girlfriend calls my B7 a princess because of all the maintenance and attention I give it. Will be doing the engine mounts next; come my next day off.

    All cars are prone to break. I can't think of one I haven't owned thats gone bad. I'm assuming your B7, like mine. Was used, had some some miles on it, but still ran good.
    Depending on what the previous owner(s) have done (or haven't done) will reflect on a lot of what will happen with the car.
    The last owner didn't do anything with mine except oil changes. So lots of maintenance has gone into it; especially from 80k-100k

    Sounds like one of two things; either the fuel injector seal and bad and causing a leak or the HPFP is going. :/

    Haven't replaced the HPFP yet (knock on wood) but have heard of it being prone to failure. You'll learn as time goes on owning a Audi is like being in a abusive relationship, but with a really hot chick you wanna keep going back too.
