Hi Folks, looking for thoughts and maybe some advise. My 2014 S5 65k miles with full service history and oil change every 5k miles is throwing an engine management light but still running perfectly on all modes. The light sometimes will go out after a day or 2 or can be cleared with a Carista and won't come one for a week or 2, car is used most days but mostly around town. As I mentioned there is no degradation in performance, even the mechanic said it drives really well. I was thinking maybe the PCV was faulty so had it checked as I have an RAC warranty. However, the mechanic, who is an Audi technician but working for a different garage now, had the car for a day and reported the attached. He said it's about 6 hours work just to get to the PCV and if it's at fault the warranty will cover it but if it's OK I'll need to pay for the stripdown and rebuilt which might be close to 4 figures. Any advice or thoughts? I can do most minor work on a car, breaks, suspension, steering etc but he tells me this is a nightmare of a job. Thanks in advance.

Hi folks just introducing myself. I've had my S5 for almost 3 years, it's a 2014 Audi S5 cab with 65k miles, FSH all, bar the last, at Audi. I had an Audi 80 Sport back in the 80s which I loved, I then moved to SAAB, Alfa the Porsche before coming back to Audi. My last car was Porsche Boxster, which I loved but wanted a couple of extra seats so after a lot of research bought the S5. Fantastic car and I'd say as fast if not a bit quicker than the Boxster, the S5 is a keeper.
