During all my oil changes, I\u2019ve taken a sample and sent off to Blackstone for analysis.\n\nEven after 12k miles, there\u2019s still enough TBN left that I could have continued using it out to 15k miles.\n\nDissolved metals and other elements were still within universal engine norms so it wasn\u2019t like the sample was abnormally contaminated.
Reviews of spare parts for Audi
I did the brakes and rotors myself for $300. Ebc brakes all day.
Got quoted 3k CAD for pads/rotors, bought Zimmerman drilled and brembo ceramics for 1500 and did them myself. Took 4 hrs taking my time, very simple job if you have the means to do it yourself
No. Looks perfectly normal.
Those numbers were similar to numbers I got for replacing engine mounts and shocks.
I had all 6 of my front control arms replaced on my S4 and the euro shop I go to charged me ~$1300.
I remember on my S4 the water pump had a plastic impeller that was guaranteed to fail at some point. The aftermarket made one that was metal.
My Q5 with 75,000 miles on it developed a leak in the water pump area. Initially Audi denied there was a leak, so I took pictures and showed it to them. Then they diagnosed it with thermostat leak.
I have the stock Hankook Ventus S1 evo2's in 245/35ZR19 on my 2023 A4. When I test drove the car I noticed a slight pull to the right, requiring slight but steady left steering input. This spring when I swapped back to the summers I noticed the right pull again. Over time the issue has remained, and I've noticed bad tramlining all the time. I feel like I'm constantly fighting the steering on most roads. Also, I highway commute to work and have noticed these tires hydroplane badly in the wet. Because of this I'm planning to get different summer tires next spring.
Got a new brake set Zimmermann on my S5 and immediately got this look - the anti rust coating around the front rotor edges don’t want to come off. The rear ones are fine and have even wear. 1,5k miles later it’s still digging my eyes.
