Water pump was leaking coolant. I got a low coolant warning on the dash, checked the coolant expansion reservoir and it was very low. Towed it into the dealership and they performed a pressure test where they could see the pump leaking. Replaced under warranty.

Audi still use water pumps with the plastic housing. Eventually the leak. My last Q5 (2010) leaked with only 18k miles on it.
The 2016 SQ5 lasted till 48k miles before I smelled coolant. Replace under Warranty. Oils level sensor became erratic. Low oil level showed "add 1 quart oil". After adding 1/2 quart it stated "oil level is high". Hrs later "low oil add 1 qt". Replaced under warranty.

Vehicle went into Emergency Limp mode, of course it was in the middle of absolutely nowhere USA, New Mexico to be exact. Drove it slowly to a truck stop, shut it down, if it doesn't start then it's a tow truck on Audi. Came out, started it up and all was fine. It ran fine for the balance of the trip. Didn't bother going to the shop, as nothing seemed effected, fuel mileage and power were both fine.
