Hey Guys,

After many google searches, FB posts and TDIclub forum searches.... It appears not many people wrench on their own Q7's. I'm 99% my oil cooler(or seal) is leaking oil into my coolant system. Luckily, not the other way around. Does anyone have any insight on the steps, difficulty, tools required, VAG-COM cable necessary, common mishaps, etc. around replacing this myself?

I consider my self to be decently mechanically inclined and have access to a wide array of tools. But, if this is something I should hand over to a stealership, I will fork over the big bucks. Only if I have to.... :( .

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

This may be covered by the extended warranty post dieselgate. I would at least inquire before doing anything.

Did you look for info on the clubtouareg forums?
Much more traffic over there regarding the Touareg/Q7/Cayenne and there are some guys that have some excellent insight into 3.0 tdi.
