I went through this as well. I bought a used 2016 Q3 with 80,000 miles on it. Ran great for a couple months then I started getting an intermittent engine light. Had it checked by a dealer and was told it was the intake manifold, not just the gasket. The repair was $3500, no turbo issues, so I bit the bullet. It’s my wife’s daily driver now, runs as good as it should.
Reviews of spare parts for Audi
Stock 2018 with 68k. Mine has been solid and a blast to drive. Finally dealing with the water pump issue, but nothing until now.
Michelin does have all season Pilot Sport tires. I have these on my A4 Quattro and they are amazing, as were the previous versions I had before. I had plenty of tread on the previous tires with 35k miles, but they were replaced because of a hole in a sidewall. The grip is excellent in dry, rain, and cold weather and they have little road noise.
Get Valeo wipers and you will be all set. I purchased those for my Q8 etron 2024.
I have a '21 but I think it takes the same blades. I wanted Bosch Icons but couldn't find any that were confirmed to fit. But I got a set of Bosch AeroTwins and they are great
Looks just like the 2014 A6 c7 3.0 I purchased in sep 2025 same rims but it’s silver i bought mine with 63,000 miles I will be a supremely happy camper if I can get 200,000 miles my A6. It came with like new continentals new brakes new lower control arms / w receipt for 3k in glove box
The pump on my S5 just went out at 50k, almost exactly. $950 for parts and it's actually a pretty simple diy job.
Only have had to do the typical water pump/thermostat (and associated solenoid valves)/motor mounts/lower control arms/oil filter housing gasket.
Just had my water pump done on my S4 last week while it was at the dealer for the engine knocking. My Brake pedal was very stiff if the car sat overnight, almost like concrete. The tech found coolant in the vacuum line, the Brake Pedal was losing Vacume and making it extremely stiff after sitting overnight. Turned out my water pump went bad, I never smelled any coolant and did not have any warning lights.
I just replaced the waterpump, thermostat and vacuum system on my B9. Leaked internally into the PCV, I would check the solenoids. Mine has about 68.5k - replaced with the new 6 bolt pump.
