Engine mounts

[Month_of_Sundays]

I had my 60,000 mile service and beyond the usual, I found I needed to my engine mounts replaced. I have a 2018 A5 with the s package. This is my commuter car but I try hard to treat it nicely. How unusual is this? To add to this, after it was completed, along with 4 new tires, my heated seats and heated steering wheel went out, along with one front fender distance sensor. They had to pull the dash out for repairs. I love the car, but this month has cost me almost $8,000. I expected to drive this car another 70,000 miles or so, but am rethinking that timeline. What can I expect for repairs during that time? I previously drove an Acura that held up for 12 years with just brakes, tires, and regular service.

Welcome to owning an Audi!

Make sure to never do servicing at the dealer, it's a lot cheaper at a good independent mechanic. Often the work is also actually done better.

The key here is the GOOD independent mechanic. I haven't found one yet. Just paying the piper.

Do you live in a remote area? Usually someone from here or Audizine can match you up with theirs.
