After removing the valve cover to try the above suggestions, I realized it was such a pain in the ass that I wasn't gonna do it again. So, I ordered a new valve cover...aka nearly $600 PCV valve. A week later I reinstalled it. That was a month ago. No more codes.
The rear brake wear on the B9 SQ5 is a known thing. The programming for stability control is super aggressive on applying the rear brakes on turns to keep the rear of the car planted so the rear pads wear down fast if you are even just a moderately spirited driver. The rear pads on my SQ5 only lasted 17k before reaching 2mm
the 80c has been running flawless. Only difference is that my coolant stays at 83-94c. It used to get as high as 100 sometimes. Also the 80c part was recommended oe part #
I run the 5w-40 in my 2004 Audi A8 and both of my power strokes just because it's handy and the diesel grade oil is overall better than the other synthetic I was running in a 0w-40 weight.
Been running the 80 for a month or so. It works great. Car and Temps run flawlessly. Only difference is my average warmed up Temps are 85c. Used to be 95c
my folks' 2008 Audi A4 2.0T was great from new to when they sold it in 2019 with 120k miles on it. Only major repair was a failed oil filter housing seal which caused a moderate oil leak at about 105k miles.
I have a 2016 A6 2.0T w/52K on the clock now and it's been reliable thus far, although I did have to replace a water pump at 17K.
At 52k miles, it appears the water pump went out on our 2015 Audi A3 1.8 T FSI. It has been drinking coolant the last few months and leaving the garage smelling like anti-freeze... the coolant leak is visible beneath the airbox/battery area.
My oem rotors warped after 45k miles.
It’s so incredibly frustrating how easy it is for these windshields to crack. My 2013 a5 is so prone to tiny rocks cracking the windshield
