Thanks Haya! I also read up on an updated/improved PCV that I was thinking about swapping in. Looks fairly easy to do. Thoughts on delete vs. an updated version?

I'm getting the same sporadic responses as well from many techs, dealers, and enthusiasts. Spoke with a local shop, Achtuning, and they seemed to think along the lines of what you'd stated, that some...

8000 Miles on the 2.0t. Consistently getting 22.4 mpg city only. Infrequent spirited driving due to primarily having the family in the Q. This is calculated manually by me. Mileage seems to improve...

Thanks D Frost. Was a strange occurrence and surprising to say the least. Q was running like a top, pulling 24 actual mpg easily with all city driving. The shifts on this zf 8 spd were flawless until...

My heavy foot on the 2T nets us around 21 mpg primarily city. With my wife driving, it gets around 25 city. A long highway trip got us around 30. Not too shabby. I hear a perf flash might actually...

The FX35 is a quicker vehicle all around, just to be clear. Not saying anyone's wrong here, just that it's in published information. The Q5 is more refined and has a more functional cargo area in my...

My dealer told me they use mobil1 0w40 to top off my a4 when I'm in the area and it's a quart low. Nothing on the Q yet but just a matter of time I'm sure.

Just ignore him. He's pissed he has to self-proclaim his cool"ie"ness and ask to borrow his parents' Q5. The fast and the furious image in his signature is perfect. :)

I'd bet the Q5 would sell more if there wasn't a 3 month wait in most areas. The X3 is built in the U.S. and is about half the time to deliver.
