The fuel pump control module in the Audi Q7 is located under the rear seats of the vehicle. The upper cover housing and electrical connectors on the fuel pump control module are integrated into one unit, with a sealing component between the base housing and the upper cover, which controls the vehicle's fuel pump. The Audi Q7 is a mid-to-large-sized SUV that emphasizes comfort, with body dimensions of 5069 mm in length, 1968 mm in width, and 1716 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3001 mm. The Audi Q7 is equipped with a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 185 kW and a maximum torque of 370 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Last month, my Audi Q7 had an issue with the fuel pump, making the engine difficult to start. I drove it to the repair shop for inspection. The mechanic told me that the fuel pump control module is hidden under the rear seats, specifically under the middle seat in the back row. You need to lift the carpet or cushion to see it. The location is a bit tricky to find, but once opened, you can directly access the module. The reason is that the module needs to be close to the fuel pump and tank to minimize wiring loss and prevent current interruption. I noticed there’s also a protective cover to avoid damage from vibrations. If you encounter such issues, never try to fix them yourself—the high-pressure fuel system is dangerous, and you must seek professional technicians to avoid sudden engine shutdowns affecting safety. During routine maintenance, you can check for looseness or water ingress, but I recommend having the shop inspect it during regular servicing.
