I love My Jolin, its given me Better service than My Audi A3 sport back and A4 allroad.
Pros: better service
I got a full set of OEM+ discs and pads fitted last month for \u00a31400. you shouldn't get charged much more. that's if they even need replacing in the first place.
Pros: full set fitted
Cons: expensive replacement
Vehicle:
Audi S4
They quoted me $8k for standard brakes on my RS5. Bought all the parts myself for $2600 and did it myself ????
Pros: did it myself
Cons: expensive dealer quote
Vehicle:
Audi RS5
I changed mine 2 years ago on my c7.5, they were knocking at 83k. It sucks especially when you have to mess around with the heat shield on the passenger side but worth it in the long run, especially with the money you save.
Pros: worth it in the long run, money saved
Cons: mess around with heat shield
Vehicle:
Audi
Mileage: 83000 km
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
Vehicle:
Audi
Recently had the exact same issue on a 14 a6 ended up being a DOA t stat I compared the shaft length on the new t start to the 2nd new t stay and sure enough it protruded out about a mm further just enough to not seal properly causing the over cooling after the swap no more issues.
Pros: no more issues
Cons: over cooling
Vehicle:
Audi A6
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
Vehicle:
Audi SQ5
I decided against the allroad due to the ea888 engine issues. I can deal with some problems but was not willing to deal with the flawed and fragile timing chain/guide failures along with the low tension piston ring problems. It’s a shame because I love these allroads. I ended up buying a 2020 Volvo xc60 which thus far has been problem free but it’s not a forever vehicle and I’ll probably dump it when it gets close to 100k on the clock. It’s a real shame that Audi doesn’t seem capable of building a solid engine anymore. The Audi timing chain service will set you back $3-$5k and even more if the piston rings get clogged and stuck. Audi has known about both problems for many years and does nothing to improve this engine. Volvo had piston ring issues for a few years but addressed the problem in 2017 and up engines. I prefer a timing belt vs a chain. The Volvo timing belt interval is 150k miles and not terribly expensive. My ea113 VW timing belt is super easy to replace and has a 110,000 mile interval. From an engineering perspective the belt is superior with less weight and more teeth per area. If Audi would put the good old ea113 in an allroad I’d buy it. Keen Audi fans will note that when the tts came out Audi dusted off the ea113 to use in that highly boosted model because they knew it was a much stronger engine.
Pros: superior design (timing belt)
Cons: flawed, fragile, low tension, expensive service
Vehicle:
Audi A4 allroad
I can\u2019t believe my Audi has a plastic water pump and that when it went it took the oil cooler with it. The damn thing died at 44k miles.
Cons: died at 44k miles
