2013 vs. 2014/2015 - 3.0T
With 3.0T Q5's are there any reliability issues to watch out for with 2013 models that were perhaps resolved in later 2014/2015 models? Or anything to watch out for period with 3.0T's?
Thanks in advance.

The 3.0T is pretty much bombproof. I’ve had no reliability issues whatsoever in over 35k miles. If you read other threads, you’ll see that most people will say the same thing!

Yes I would agree re the 3.0L although I'd go for bullet not bomb proof.I'm conservative.Just make sure the oil was changed on schedule and with the correct oil and filter.Ja !

It's only 1 data point, but I'm at 79k miles on my Feb '13 built 3.0T and it's been drop dead reliable. I tuned it to Stage 1 (APR) at ~25k miles and Stage 2 + other stuff at ~50k, drive it every day and drive it pretty hard many days. My only issue is I'm starting to get a little heartache about what I'd replace it with...
Good luck!
