What are the reasons for oil leakage in the Audi Q7 4.2 engine?
1 Answers
Audi Q7 engine oil leakage and smoke emission reasons are as follows: Aging and hardening of sealing rings: Over 90 percent of oil leakage problems are caused by rubber sealing rings losing a large amount of plasticizers and softeners due to prolonged exposure to alternating cold and warm temperatures, leading to corrosion, aging, and hardening. Incomplete combustion: Small injection advance angle, incomplete combustion, slight water leakage in the cylinder liner, water content in the fuel, white smoke emission during cold starts, which disappears as the engine temperature rises. Smoke limiter failure: Air-fuel ratio imbalance, decreased cylinder pressure, premature injection timing, failure of the smoke limiter on the injection pump, malfunction of the exhaust brake system, engine cylinder liner wear, stuck rings, misalignment, aging and deformation of valve sealing rings, excessive valve guide clearance.
