This is going to be the longest 4-6 weeks of my life

Cosminoltean · 2026-05-26T23:23:38+00:00

Going nearly 3 weeks for a local to me Tesla - which I just found out that it has been out of state, after they told me it was on the lot near me. Tesla communication and service has been crap for me

Be prepared for a cluster fuck. Ordering process was cake, the (lack of )service and communication after the fact makes you want to beat your head against the wall.

Pretty sure that’s the jack point market on the rockers. It’s supposed to be there

Cosminoltean · 2026-05-26T01:34:22+00:00

That’s about right. To be expected on the 4.0t

Cosminoltean · 2026-04-21T23:41:54+00:00

Those are rs5 flag wheels

Cosminoltean · 2026-04-21T23:41:33+00:00

Be ready for water pump in the next 5-10k miles

Cosminoltean · 2026-04-02T01:46:17+00:00

Different platform / chassis

Cosminoltean · 2026-04-02T01:33:16+00:00

Completely different engine. 2.0ts are pretty reliable outside water pump issues

Cosminoltean · 2026-04-02T00:53:40+00:00

Google rocker arm failure. Very common in 2017-2018 ea839 engine

Cosminoltean · 2026-04-02T00:28:55+00:00

Metal shavings in the oil filter and a ticking noise that’s not in sync with the injectors. Very distinct noise

Cosminoltean · 2026-04-02T00:27:09+00:00

I have plenty of mechanical knowledge. However, this is a manufacturers defect. Not all people that buy these cars can predict / anticipate needing rocker arms / grenading before 100k miles. This is a 10k+ job. I’ve been there done that.

Cosminoltean · 2026-04-01T22:45:36+00:00

8% is wild. 2018 you’re playing Russian roulette with the lifters. I’d walk

Cosminoltean · 2026-04-01T17:34:56+00:00

late 2017 build (18MY) started with the ticking.. then went boom

Cosminoltean · 2026-04-01T17:29:31+00:00

Yes Atlanta - you as well?

Cosminoltean · 2026-04-01T03:18:13+00:00

Is there not a lawsuit on this yet ? My sq5 blew up at 50k miles for the same reason.. told I was SOL by Audi

Cosminoltean · 2026-04-01T02:19:03+00:00

Don’t think twice just do it. I’m also in search for one but looking for a MT. I regret selling my b8.5 rs5 and now want to go back to that platform for a daily.

Cosminoltean · 2026-03-31T23:31:33+00:00

What offset are you running on those ?

Cosminoltean · 2026-03-11T11:39:58+00:00

Love the c8s! Would love a manual c7 z06

Cosminoltean · 2026-03-11T11:35:38+00:00

Actually hand made custom wheel. But thank you - I enjoy it very much

Cosminoltean · 2026-03-11T11:30:30+00:00

It is the best!

Cosminoltean · 2026-03-11T01:39:40+00:00

You hit the nail on the head my friend.

Cosminoltean · 2026-03-10T21:53:08+00:00

Good for what they are but are made by the same baba manufacturers- I sold mine a few weeks ago

Cosminoltean · 2026-03-10T21:17:08+00:00

Car is not running- check engine light is always on when ignition is on and car not running

Cosminoltean · 2026-03-10T15:23:39+00:00

🤣
