Service bulletins for the 2013 Audi A7
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.
1450 on file from NHTSA, as of 2026-10-19.

| 143120350733 | 2022-08-01. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE. The NVLD pressure switch may erroneously detect a very small leak. New pressure sensors in production: ? For vehicles with a fuel tank pressure sensor, G400, and a fuel tank leak detection control module, J909, that are separate (two components): part numbers 8K0906253 and 8K0906253B supersede to 8K0906253D. ?

| 132820350732 | 2022-08-01. Service bulletin. FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE. After the engine is switched off, the fuel system creates a natural vacuum as the fuel in the fuel tank cools off. If the natural vacuum leak detection (NVLD) system cannot detect this natural vacuum during the system self-test, the DTC will be stored in the ECM. |
| 132720350731 | 2022-08-01. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. EVAP System Leak Detected NVLD (very small leak)) |
| 145320390181 | 2022-08-01. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE. A small amount of dry or crusted coolant is seen on the coolant pump housing (Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3). The coolant level warning is not on. A minor coolant leak is possible during the break-in phase of the coolant seal on the coolant pump. The dry coolant marks are normal. |
| 134520344392 | 2022-08-01. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY. When vehicles are driven on gravel roads, there is a greater chance of front-end stone impact damage to the intercooler radiator (Figure 1). |
| 134320344391 | 2022-08-01. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY. When vehicles are driven on gravel roads, there is a greater chance of front-end stone impact damage to the intercooler radiator (Figure 1). |
| 145320381292 | 2022-08-01. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OIL/LUBRICATION. A check with the engine oil service dipstick T40178 is necessary, but the adjustment values for the dipstick are not available in the Elsa repair manual. Because of a system change, the adjustment values for the service dipstick T40178 were removed from the repair manual. |
| 145220381192 | 2022-08-01. Service bulletin. BACK OVER PREVENTION. The message ?Oil minimum warning, add one quart of oil? appears in the instrument cluster, but the oil level is above the minimum level (when measured with special tool T40178). ? There are no DTCs related to oil level stored in the ECM memory. The oil level sensor is defective. |
| 145120381191 | 2022-08-01. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. The message ?Oil minimum warning, add one quart of oil? appears in the instrument cluster, but the oil level is above the minimum level (when measured with special tool T40178). ? There are no DTCs related to oil level stored in the ECM memory. The oil level sensor is defective. |
| 145020381291 | 2022-08-01. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OIL/LUBRICATION. A check with the engine oil service dipstick T40178 is necessary, but the adjustment values for the dipstick are not available in the Elsa repair manual.

| 144920284402 | 2022-08-01. Service bulletin. BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION. The customer complains of one or more of the following issues: ? When the vehicle is completely refueled, the vehicle range (?distance to empty?) that is displayed is different than the vehicle range that was displayed the last time the vehicle was completely refueled. ? The displayed vehicle range drops inconsistently. ? After the vehicle is refueled, the displayed vehicle range does not change for a long period of time. ? When the vehicle is driven on hilly roads for a long period of time, the displayed vehicle range suddenly changes by a significant amount. ? There are no DTCs related to fuel senders stored in the instrument cluster control module, J285 (address word 17). This condition does not involve or affect the accuracy of the fuel level indicator, but only the estimated distance to empty display on the on-board computer. |
| 134720354632 | 2022-08-01. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT. In order to provide effective lubrication and cooling of internal engine components, all internal combustion engines consume a certain amount of engine oil. Oil consumption varies from engine to engine, and may change significantly over the life of the engine. Typically, engines with specified break-in periods consume more oil during the break-in period, and the oil consumption will stabilize after the break-in period. Refer to the Owner?s Manual for specific break-in procedures. |
| 134420354631 | 2022-08-01. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; BACK OVER PREVENTION. In order to provide effective lubrication and cooling of internal engine components, all internal combustion engines consume a certain amount of engine oil. Oil consumption varies from engine to engine, and may change significantly over the life of the engine. Typically, engines with specified break-in periods consume more oil during the break-in period, and the oil consumption will stabilize after the break-in period. Refer to the Owner?s Manual for specific break-in procedures. Under normal conditions, the rate of oil consumption depends on the quality and viscosity of the oil, the RPM at which the engine is operated, and the ambient temperature and road conditions. Additional factors include the amount of oil dilution from water condensation or fuel residue and the oxidation level of the oil. Utilizing the advanced sensor technology integrated in models equipped with the 3.0 TFSI engine, it is possible to measure oil consumption electronically via a Guided Function test plan. |
| 133820129135 | 2022-08-01. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:FLUID/LUBRICANT:FILTER/SCREEN. Engine oil service - filter cartridge replacement. When changing the oil filter and installing the new filter seal(s) in the oil filter housing, special attention is required. |

| 147920333793 | 2022-08-01. Service bulletin. SERVICE BRAKES; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. An oil filter that is too short is installed. The oil filter must be 155 (+/-1) mm long. If the oil filter is too short, the drain flap in the oil filter housing will not be completely closed and oil pressure will be reduced. |
