Default Is this normal? Q7 TDI

Hi all, new member here! I got my Q7 a few months back and I am really enjoying it. However, in the last month I have had to have the dealer replace 3 injectors. Two at the beginning of March and one was diagnosed today. I’m just curious if this is common on Fixed TDIs or I’m just lucky and was the victim of bad fuel or possibly fuel filter?

On a side note we also have a grand Cherokee eco diesel and beetle tdi and fill up at one station/truck stop religiously And have not had any injector issues with either.

also here’s a picture of her with a snow mustache haha.

I am at 109k miles on my TDi and have not had any issues. However, I just got the fix this week.

Good to know. I’ve had to take it in a few times for things related to “the fix”.

Just a heads up, the engine light may come on soon for a NOX sensor. Mine went away without a dealer visit, but I’ve read it’s common. And The DEF sensor has acted up (starting the countdown after 3k miles after getting the fluid topped off, or the low fluid warning coming on then immediately off after every start) on more than one occasion.

I am just going to assume that it has to do with the “fix” because of the different programming. At least there is a warranty, I definitely don’t wanna front the dealer bill for replacing them. I’m definitely thinking the remaining 3 will fail by the end of the year considering the others have all failed within a month of each other.

There was a second recall in August of 2019 to fix some of the issues with the first recall.

Mine had the TDi emissions fixed @53K in Apr '19 and now is at 68K in May '20. Had both the NOx issue and BluDef warnings right after the fix (June '19,) as it appears the dealer did not fill the BlueDef after the fix.. I had a subsequence BluDef issue (Mar 20.) as my heated BluDef tank was cracked and leaking badly; dealer said likely due to not being drained and thus freezing from spending two winters sitting in Michigan waiting for the emissions fix. No cost as it was all under warranty and enjoyed a complimentary 2019 A6 3.0 S-line loaner for two weeks (and the 0-60 under 5 secs claim is legit!)
