| 142000 mi US $6800 |
Known TSI engine problem of O-rings scoring the cylinders and causing significant oil consumption. Supposed to only apply to 2012 and earlier models, but this is apparently not so. The repair seems to have been well developed and executed. |

| 92000 mi US $771 |
Check engine and EPC lights came on; replaced coil packs and spark plugs |
| 48000 mi US $250 |
Noticed what seemed to be oil near the dip stick. I had purchased a nice aftermarket dip stick from ECS Tuning so I could easily check the oil. This oil near the dip stick made me think the engine was building internal pressure. After some internet research I realized the oil separator was failing. This is sort of what us old time mechanics call the PCV valve. On a regular car it would be $10. On the Audi Q5 the separator was $250. Ouch. |
