very pleased so far

Another Q7 owner! Welcome to the club +++

Very practical cars although I need to find an electrical drain on mine. Probably the door handles.

cheers
 

how does a door handle drain the battery ?

Same as on the A8 (and probably other models as well). The modules controlling the handles don't go to sleep and result in a small drain on the battery.

I'm definitely seeing a fault code. Depends if you have the convenience key.

Just finished another long drive from Weston-super-Mare to St. David's and then across the water to Carlow. Five people and every space full of luggage plus a full roof box. Lovely drive in the Q7.

aaah righto guys
 

i do have keyless entry and start same as the A8
ive also noticed 3 door handles work perfect and one doesnt
the button is stuck in and doesnt give a Micro switch type click
is it possible to change this tiny button?
and my battery seems fine atm

In theory yes, but in practice it appears to be a PITA to do. Much easier to get a new door handle. Underneath the button is an even smaller surface mount switch, around 5mm square, so you'd first have to remove the handle from the car, then dismantle the handle to get at both sides of the PCB holding the switch, replace it with a new switch (assuming you can find an exact match on the likes of eBay) and then put it all back together again. I did come across a video of someone who attempted to do it but gave up. It's worth watching it just to see the switch that needs replaced:

Drivers door has part number 4E2837206G (RHD) and the other three have part number 4E0839205G.
