So I recently purchased a 2017 A7 with the 3.0T supercharged motor with 30k miles on it. Checked under the hood last night and saw the tell-take spray pattern of water from the water pump leaking onto the serpentine belts and being sprayed onto the underside of the engine cover and hood. I also did a test I heard about to check the PCV and it seemed to fail. I started the car and removed the oil fill cap and it had a pretty decent amount of suction holding it down. I’ve got just over 1k miles on the car since I purchased it and according to the displays it has burned some oil, but it’s not at the low mark yet. The car is also low on coolant currently.
Now what? Am I losing it, finding problems that aren’t there? What coolant do you guys recommend? Is there anything major that I would need to fix these issues myself? This is my current daily driver and I need it running more often than not.
