Hey, of course I remember my repair costs. They were quite a lot, I tell you. So the problem with the fuel level sensor that you mentioned also bothered us. After we took the car to the garage, the fuel level sensor was replaced and it has been running again ever since. However, I had to pay €520 to repair the faulty fuel level sensor. I hope this helps you! Best regards!

Hey, my mechanic has really got something to do now, haha! The repair costs for the sensor are pretty hefty, but judging by your reports, it probably won't work without it. Now I'm curious to see how the garage deals with it and what the end result will be. I'll keep you up to date. Thanks again, guys!

For me it was the particulate filter, just like for Rob. I had it removed at the garage and they then took it to a specialist who cleaned and checked it. Now it runs like the first day again. I was only told that if I had driven like this for longer, it could damage the turbocharger. But I'd say it was a blessing in disguise!

2017 Q7 burning a quart of oil every 200 plus miles. Replaced oil separator and still does the same thing. No smoke from exhaust when accelerating.
That's a significant amount of oil consumption. It could be due to a number of issues such as worn piston rings, valve seals, or even a head gasket failure. I'd recommend getting a compression test done to check the health of your engine. If the compression is low, it's likely that the engine is burning oil. It's a serious issue and should be checked by a professional mechanic.

Hello, I have had this error for some time, can anyone help me? OBD2 Diagnostic Trouble Code P0460 means that fuel level sensor 1 circuit has been detected.
The P0460 code indicates a problem with the fuel level sensor circuit. This could be due to a faulty fuel level sensor, a problem with the wiring or connectors, or an issue with the fuel pump or fuel gauge. Start by checking the wiring and connectors for any signs of damage or corrosion. If everything looks good, you may need to have the fuel level sensor or fuel pump inspected by a professional. Please keep us updated on your progress.
Let our mechanics help you!

Hi buddy, listen, I have nothing to do with sensors, but I had similar symptoms with my 2009 Audi Q5. Jerky idle, rough acceleration, engine ran rough and used a lot more fuel than normal. Thought it was my particulate filter at first. The thing was completely clogged and was causing all sorts of problems, just like yours. It was definitely a serious problem and made my engine look like crap. All the best, man!
