Water-Cooled Motors on Q4/ID4. Any Reports of Failures?

[SheenaL98]

I’ve been a proud owner of the “fat” e-tron for a while now, and while I love the car, I’ve already had to replace both motors due to seal failures and coolant infiltration. It’s been frustrating to deal with, but from what I’ve gathered, it’s a somewhat common issue with the water-cooled motors on the e-tron.

anyone here with a Q4 or ID4 has faced similar issues? Have there been any reports of motor failures, particularly involving the seals or coolant problems? I know the cooling system plays a huge role in these EVs, so I’m wondering if the Q4 and ID4 still use water-cooled motors like the e-tron or if they’ve moved to air cooling. Would love to hear from anyone with experience on this or any insights into how the Q4's motors hold up over time.

I don't remember to read anything about any issues or failures. But considering new tech is implemented, it could be possible.

Sorry to hear about the motor troubles with your e-tron. I haven’t heard much about motor issues with the Q4 or ID4, but it’s definitely interesting to see how their cooling systems compare to the e-tron.
