Thank you for your reply! Yes, the problem occurred quite suddenly. There were no noticeable noises and the black smoke came quite unexpectedly. My Audi Q7 already has 301478 kilometers on the clock and the last service was about 8 months ago. Maybe I've put it off too long. I think I'll go to the garage and have the fuel filter checked more thoroughly. Thanks again for your advice!

No problem, always happy to help! Yes, it definitely sounds like a trip to the garage would be a good idea. With that kind of mileage, it's entirely possible that the fuel filter is causing problems. Hopefully it's nothing more serious. Get back to me when you have more information or when the problem is fixed. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it gets fixed quickly and cheaply. All the best and happy driving!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2012 Audi Q5 diesel (model is a bit smaller but same make). Now, I have some experience with cars, but I'm definitely not an expert. At my garage, it ended up being the fuel filter that was clogged. I paid 205 euros for the replacement and labor. It could possibly be the same problem for you, but it could also have other causes, such as problems with the turbo or injectors. Could you perhaps tell me a bit more about the circumstances? Did the problem occur suddenly or did it develop slowly? Did you hear any noises or was the smoke constantly there? All this info could help narrow down the problem even further. Hope this helps somehow!
