Common issues with 2009 3.6 Q7s for future reference
 

My CPO is up in June and my daily driver has been in the shop a handful of times for mostly electronic-related issues as well as sunroof drains. Currently in the shop getting a new amp due to leaks last year.

I need to know what else I should expect if I keep the car past the CPO expiration. Wife doesn't want to purchase extended warranty.

- I know about frequent rotors/pads and tires. Already replaced rotors/pads at 22k miles. Tires will be next (have 30k on them).

- 55k service has been done.

- Had to replace TPMS in a wheel

- wheel bearing replaced

- MMI control board replaced once before

- software "upgrade" to fix faulty Bluetooth

- all 4 sunroof drains replaced

Are there any engine or transmission issues/other major issues I should be expecting in the future? Currently have 61k miles on the clock.

I appreciate any input. Thanks everyone.

Can you document the software upgrade for the faulty bluetooth? Was this an MMI update? What version was installed? We have 105K on our 08 and have not experienced any unusual problems other than our bluetooth. Engine and transmission seem reliable.
If you have air suspension, that could cause a few repairs around 100k based on my experience with a D3 A8.

I will check my service records. I do remember that it was NOT an MMI update. All of a sudden one day my Bluetooth, back up cam, and steering wheel controls all went out on me. Service Dept did some sort of "update"...that's what I recall them saying.

I don't have air suspension.
