I just got this done and Audi quoted me $2500 for just the thermostat. Mine was covered by the extended warranty Audi has on all water pumps leaks.
The only places where the Pirelli really shines is in the rain and the cash register. In every other aspect, the Michelin is the superior tire.
Mine was clogged in my '02 Audi A4 and instead of doing what you did, I put two hoses on the intake and exhaust of the core, poured CLR down that bitch until it came out the other hose, let it sit for an hour, then rigged up my hose to the intake and blasted all of that CLR and calcium buildup out of there. Had to do it twice, but man having heat again after no heat during a brutal MN winter was a godsend.
I have a 2019 SQ5, stock is 255/40 R21 but I found a deal on 245/45 R20 99V LM-32 Bridgestone Blizzaks.
Pads I always liked Akebono for low dust
I have run the Indy 500s on two Minis, Audi A8 with a 630HP tuned motor, Volvo V90 and Mercedes E550 with a Renntech tune. EXCELLENT tires for the money, Tirerack has great prices!
Just got a 2021 sq5 today, comes with 5 year CPO, so it has like 3 years left. My intention is to drive it for 4-5 years, they quoted me like 3.5k CAD after tax for two years. So ill have factory warranty until 2028.
The Conti’s were smooth, but their steering feel was just too soft and mushy for me, if that makes sense. The Michelins are a perfect balance, I feel.
I bought a brand new Q3 in 2019, didn’t use it that much only 15k on the clock with regular servicing until a few weeks ago I had two fuel injectors rupture which was pretty disappointing.
I had to replace my windshield twice within 6 months of purchasing my Q5. The 2nd cracks were caused by my husband flicking a mosquito inside the car with his fingers.
