Audi Q7: No crancking or starting

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 23:11:23 -0700

I have an Audi Q7 4.2 TDI, BTR engine. At some stages when starting the vehicle there was a "clack clack" sound on the hydraulic lifters. I added an additive and after about 50km's the sound would disappear. One day I was driving from my home to the local mall and the car suddenly lost power and since then I could not get the motor to crank over, let alone start. There was no sound, warnings or lock up of wheels when this happened.

I have replaced the battery, all relays and fuses have been tested, diagnostics does not give any real indication of what the problem could be and I have tried turning the crank by hand with a socket, but it does not move.

I'm guessing it could either be the hydraulic lifters or maybe the timing chain, but I'm no expert in this field.

Would highly appreciate any assistance or advice you might be able to share with me.

Kind regards

I own a 2010 Audi Q7, and when the car is off (not running), I hear a fan noise coming from just above the front left fender. What could be the reason for this?

Also, could this issue cause the battery to drain?
