So I ended up selling my 2010 A4 and picked up a 2009 Q5. Right away I had some weirdness with the oil gauge and thought I was going to relive this all over again. I called the dealer and he said it was unlikely, it was just the 4 cylinder models. However - I believe there are some rare Q5's out there with a 4 cyl engine instead of the typical 6 cyl. Since then I have come to find that my oil gauge is just a little wonky.

Now I need to figure out what is up with my convenience access!!

 

It's not rare. The 2.0L Turbo has a 4-cylinder engine, which I believe you knew has an under tolerance issue. Still, Audi has fixed this problem at their own expense. Better than most manufacturers would do!

 

My engine was rebuilt at no charge to me by Audi at 85,000 miles. I now have 106,000 miles and the level has not gone down below an eighth of the way on the electronic display at all. I go close to 10,000 miles between changes using synthetic oil and am no longer having any problems or oil consumption requiring any attention.
I am once again a very happy camper and glad I own an Audi. BEST service of any brand I have ever owned.


BTW does anyone have a blank trim plate for the front grill instead of the trim plate that will accept a license plate? Mine has two silver trim strips across it and the paint is coming off of the plastic. If you have changed yours out on a 2011 and have the blank trim plate with the trim strips on them and are interested in getting rid of it in your garage, please private message me. I'm in Florida. Thanks

 

125,000 miles now and still not burning any noticeable oil. Not adding a drop between 10,000 mile changes.

Still looking for a blank filler plate for the front instead of a tag plate if anybody has one.
