Mate, this is probably the timing chain and tensioner.
You’ve already got **P0016**, stalling at idle, worse with start stop, and some cold start noise. That’s all early timing issues on these.
Pros: early timing issues
Cons: stalling at idle
Vehicle:
Audi Q3
Every 5,000-6,500 km oil change using **VW.508** oil (NO 10,000 km oil changes)... Oil like Liqui Moly **Top Tec 6200 0W-20**
Pros: Frequent oil changes
Cons: Requires specific oil
Vehicle:
Audi Q3
Mileage: 6500 km
Been running these on my Q7 the last few winters. I’m in MA and it seems like we rarely get snow anymore, and the dry performance feels pretty on par with my all seasons. Just got back from a trip to VT where it was insanely cold, icy, and snowy and did a fair bit of driving on unpaved unplowed roads with no issue. I even intentionally tried to break traction or get the ABS to trigger and it just refused.
Pros: dry performance feels good
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
Got some for the SQ5. Great performance in the snow, while still pretty good on dry pavement. A bit prone to aqua planning on heavy rain days. I do find them a bit noisy on dry pavement after a couple seasons though, but that could be a snow tire thing.
Pros: great performance in snow
Cons: prone to aqua planning
Vehicle:
Audi SQ5
I have them on my SQ5. Agree with all the other comments, they’re excellent winter tires.
Pros: excellent winter tires

Brake dust- so much brake dust.
Cons: so much brake dust

I own a tuned Audi, the only thing to go bad in it is the water pump which is a super common issue to the point Audi repaired it for free under extended warranty.
Pros: repaired under warranty
Cons: common issue

I'm currently driving a brand new Q5 while my car gets a new water pump. The dealership *apologized* for giving me that loaner Q5... lol. I honestly, really, truly hate it. It has a premium price, but sitting in it with all the plastic everywhere, does not feel premium.
Cons: plastic everywhere, not premium
Vehicle:
Audi Q5
Ditching my 2024 SQ5 for something without throttle lag and brakes that you have to press through the floor to engage. Audi says “drives as designed” and nothing they could do so I’m out.
Cons: throttle lag, poor brakes
