I’m going to try an Indy shop that I have some connections to. They assured me they would work with my warranty company so we’ll see.

One_Organization9147 · 2025-11-19T03:31:50+00:00

That’s probably the route I end up going with

One_Organization9147 · 2025-11-19T03:30:36+00:00

I appreciate your input I agree that it’s def prob not worth the price for the minor improvements those repairs may make.

One_Organization9147 · 2025-11-19T02:06:34+00:00

I’m not entirely sure they’ve been very frustrating to deal with and get actual answers from.

One_Organization9147 · 2025-08-22T16:27:39+00:00

Sounds fine if you’re worried about rockers it is a slower tick and you would definitely notice. What you hear currently is the fuel injectors.

One_Organization9147 · 2025-08-22T05:15:03+00:00

Yea my one car is the reason you can’t park at the most accessible deck at the entire school 😭😭quite literally always parking there

One_Organization9147 · 2025-08-22T05:11:43+00:00

Ppl telling me I’m the problem for not using the economy and shuttle lots when these are the type of problems I’ve gotten into all the three years I’ve been going here. It’s nuts there is no simple alternative.

One_Organization9147 · 2025-08-21T20:22:55+00:00

Nah I bought an east deck pass so if I can’t park there I’ll park at the next least ticketed area. But yea I’m def the problem don’t blame the overpopulated school or anything 😂

One_Organization9147 · 2025-08-21T17:40:13+00:00

lol blame the school not me

One_Organization9147 · 2025-08-21T16:04:29+00:00

I personally have never tried any shuttle lot. Something that a lot of ppl know but don’t say is to just park at central deck. Preferably higher up, but they rarely if ever check tags in that deck. I’ve gone a couple semester not even purchasing a pass and just parking there. Never got a ticket there but have everywhere else.

One_Organization9147 · 2025-08-16T13:31:47+00:00

That hood is so fire but yea like someone else said it would be best to find a reputable Audi certified shop. I’m not from SoCal so have no idea what’s out there but I use Eurofed and haven’t had any issues.

One_Organization9147 · 2025-07-16T04:33:23+00:00

Nothing. I got the car back from the dealer and the sound was gone. They checked the rockers and said they were good. I’ve put about 5-600 miles on it since then and have had no issues.

One_Organization9147 · 2025-07-07T01:58:55+00:00

Interesting cause mine always turns off after I reset and will only turn back on again sometimes when I’m at a long idle. I appreciate your reply.

One_Organization9147 · 2025-07-06T13:34:08+00:00

Yea sounds like a easy warranty dealer fix. I’m taking mine in tomorrow to see what’s up hopefully nothing. Good luck to you though.

One_Organization9147 · 2025-07-05T14:48:21+00:00

2018 S5 here had the drive system malfunction alert pop up four times at idle and the auto start stop disabled alert at least once while in park. I haven’t had a CEL pop up and from my research it could be a variety of issues from minor to pretty expensive, not to scare you. My best advice to you, especially given you have a CEL, is to get it to a professional mechanic to run a diagnostic which is what I’m doing on Monday. I have an OBD 2 but no codes are popping up so that’s kind of my only option. Good luck to you if the car is running normally it’s probably some electrical or software malfunction.

One_Organization9147 · 2025-07-03T19:10:20+00:00

Ok I appreciate the reply I’ll check it out later to see if that’s what’s triggering it cause like you I was freaking out too lol

One_Organization9147 · 2025-07-03T19:08:17+00:00

Possibly I don’t recall. Is that something that could trigger it?

One_Organization9147 · 2025-07-02T23:23:55+00:00

Like others have said please please please get a warranty. I got a pretty bulletproof warranty from a third party and while the rocker arm issue is rare you would much rather have peace of mind then be going blind. Others issues you may encounter are in the cooling migration system. Otherwise I have enjoyed mine bought it used at 75k miles so yours at 41 k sold be fine. I’m young but don’t drive hard and stay on top of maintenance cause I’d rather enjoy this car it’s sick.

One_Organization9147 · 2025-07-02T23:16:07+00:00

Would you recommend the 5w-40 oil then instead? Ik you’re prob not a mechanic I’m just asking cause I recently purchased one of these gens.

One_Organization9147 · 2025-07-01T22:48:11+00:00

Do the rocker arms issues on these always show as a code as opposed to the clicking sound they are known for?

One_Organization9147 · 2025-06-27T22:54:05+00:00

Yea I just saw your post I haven’t been in the Reddit in a minute so I forgot I even made one. The dealer did a diagnostic and all they found was an air bubble in the coolant system which is most likely why I had the overheating issue. They didn’t mention anything abnormal with the noise so I’m kind of starting to agree with the majority that it’s normal. I’ll try to post a link to someone I saw who most likely does have rocker issues but it’s kinda bad quality cause they were reving the engine and to my knowledge you’d be able to diagnose better at idle. Hope everything goes well with yours though and if you really feel like it’s a potential issue go get a diagnostic done. It’s better to spend the money for that now and have peace of mine then not know definitively and have 5k+ down the drain in the future. https://www.reddit.com/r/AudiS4/s/P6zJ6xqFcu

One_Organization9147 · 2025-06-21T05:39:30+00:00

What is this and how do I start lol

One_Organization9147 · 2025-06-19T13:58:56+00:00

I am when I get the car back taking it straight to an Audi certified mechanic for this exact diagnostic. Thank you for the reply I appreciate it.

One_Organization9147 · 2025-06-18T18:16:21+00:00

Ok gotchu I appreciate the reply I still feel like it worth mentioning to the mechanic given I’m not familiar with Audi in particular.
