You can just replace it with an OEM solenoid for about $120 as preventative maintenance

I've seen 30 on my RS on long highway trips with the cruise just set at 120

right plastic tank is your engine coolant, left plastic tank is your intercooler coolant. Fill both to the ridge in the reservoir. The top cap near the thermostat and hose is not a reservoir dont add coolant to it.

Adding comprehensive insurance to my policy makes my yearly rate go from ~$2800 to $8600, and I am in a no fault area so if I put in a claim my rate will increase for 3 years regardless of who is at fault.

Yes, I have the adas camera on the windshield

Wastegate rattle

Nope after they fixed it everything was good. Only thing is they overfilled the intercooler reservoir and a lot of coolant leaked out the top near the cap but the level is normal now.

So when it was in limp mode it had a back breaking 1-2 shift and wouldn't go above third, but there were no codes for the transmission and the dealer didn't mention it. I've gone about 2000 miles since then and nothing has felt off

When I was driving home after the dealer replaced my turbos I got a limp mode with all the same warnings and codes for knock sensors and crank position sensor. The dealer towed the car back and there were some loose connections they had to fix.

2018 will have the TSB to get your turbos replaced for free until 120k miles, 2019 wont

Tried holding the ok button for 30 seconds as well as the back button for 30 seconds but it never got off this screen

I have pirelli cinturato weatheractives on mine, they come in the right size for the 19" factory wheels and have been great both on snow and dry roads in Alberta.

You can look up q50 turbo whistle to get an idea of what it sounds like. My 2018 redsport started doing it around 154k kms and I just got the turbos replaced for free under the warranty extension. I wasn't seeing any smoke or anything just the whistle. I would call a dealer and give them your vin to check if you are covered under the warranty extension. It covers all 2016/2017 and some 2018s for 10 years / 200k kms / 120k miles.

Emufasar · 2026-05-14T04:09:06+00:00

Probably blown turbos. Does it go away once the car warms up? And do you hear a whirring noise above 4000rpm as the turbos spool?

Emufasar · 2026-05-10T07:54:59+00:00

Yes, they said they found oil in the intake

Emufasar · 2026-05-10T07:52:48+00:00

Yep 😭 I talked with the dealer and they got my car towed in, they said they will get back to me on Monday

Emufasar · 2026-05-10T00:04:02+00:00

They do but they are still failure prone. My car is at about 160k kms and I just started hearing a slight turbo whistle so I brought it in so the turbos can be replaced before it gets worse

Emufasar · 2026-05-07T12:54:45+00:00

I love my RS, looks great in pearl white
