Hi all, I'm a new user, but I have read the moderator comment about "post and run". I don't intend to be that guy: if I have posted in the wrong place, my apologies. I will try to keep track of any replies you are good enough to make even if my question is re-routed by mods to another forum. My Q5 (S Line, 2 litre diesel, 66 plate) (102,000 miles) went into limp mode last week, and the local garage identified an oil pressure issue. But it is not in limp-mode constantly. Driven conservatively, I can still get up to 65mph. Replacement of the oil pressure sensor, oil filter and draining the old (but recently serviced!!) oil did not eliminate the issue. The local garage is not an Audi main dealer, but competent. They say the likely next port of call is an engine-out belt replacement , sump scrub and oil replacement. Likely the rubber belt bathed in oil that they say degrades over time. With 100,000 miles on the clock, this seems a reasonable next port of call. But rather alarmingly, they say this job is too big (possibly too technical) for them and may cost "a lot". They actually suggested getting rid of the car, but to mind a 100,000 mile diesel engine housed in a good condition 66 plate should not be scrap! Can anyone give me some local knowledge of what "a lot" likely means, and whether this is something that should only be trusted to a main dealership? Or is it really beyond economical repair? Clearly, I'll speak to Audi, but would appreciate some lived experience. Thanks in advance.

Hi there, first time posting here. I have a 2011 Audi A5 2.0 TFSI with 85k A bit of backstory.. My cars timing belt went while driving and was replaced in January. This was caused by the timing belt tensener becoming slack. After that my car has been struggling to keep constant revs when cold and ended up misfiring on a long drive. I managed to limp it to my garage where they changed the O2 sensor. The car seemed fine untill about a month ago when a wired metallic rattle started when letting off the gas. Sounds a bit like a clockwork spring being released. At first I could only hear it after turning the engine off but has now got louder. Sounds like it is coming from the left side of the engine. My car has started misfiring again and is currently undrivable as one of the cylinders isn't working. It also has a fault code saying the engine is running to rich at idle. This has gone after both repairs but returns after a few weeks. I had a fault code last year saying the car was running to lean but went after a week so haven't been to worried about that. I hardly drive my car. Probably around 1000 miles this year. Could anyone provide a bit of help. Just want to sell it now but need to get it working first

Hey Guys. I bought an A3 2008 1.8 TFSI in june. Car was running fine until a few months. I start to hear weird noises like pulsating or something from the front. The sound only occurs when the engine warmed up. It can be heard when idle or in gear. If I push little gas the noise starts coming faster. We tought it can be the drive belt / tensioner pulley. After it was changed for a new on, but the noise/sound came back again. It can be maybe the timing chain ? I dont really have idea now. Check out the video down below. VID_20191228_202258.mp4

I had my timing belt, water pump and alternator belt changed in 2014 with 75000 miles. It has now broke/snapped with 87000 on the clock. Is this normal? What would cause this? It's the wife's car who don't go far or does excessive speed. The power steering pump was done last year, could this have caused it? Confused as I don't do engines at all. Just need s heads up what to au to the garage when I ring them to come fetch it. Many thanks in advance
