Audi Q7 V12 TDI TUV Inspection – German Owner Struggles
Summary of Car Inspection Defects
This text details the results of a car inspection (likely TUV, a German technical control association). The car failed the inspection due to numerous defects, six of which were considered major. Here’s a breakdown:
Major Defects:
* Lighting: Issues with the “combined” lights, specifically cornering lights not working.
* Brakes (Rear Left): Left rear brake was sticking due to the brake pads being too close to the disc, likely caused by prolonged inactivity.
* Brakes (Front): Uneven brake force between the front wheels. The left disc shows localized wear, while the right disc is fully functional. This causes the car to pull to the right when braking.
* Headlights: Headlights are aimed too low.
* engine: Missing engine lid, revealing engine leaks – considered a serious defect.
* Engine Oil: Incorrect oil level and consistency.
Minor Defects:
* Pollution: Related to the incorrect oil.
* Headlight Washers: Not functioning.
Outcome:
The car received a “multiple refusal” from TUV and the owner has one month to rectify the major defects if they wish to legally drive the vehicle on public roads. A video of the inspection is also available.
