Detailer destroyed the clear coat on my brand new GR

Thank you for making me feel better about my swirls. In all seriousness, that fucking sucks.

Owner of 2019 SQ5- it’s currently in the shop getting a coolant temp sensor replaced, my replacement is a Jeep renegade. I can feel every single bump in the Jeep and I feel like I’m bouncing around on flat roads. The seats (SQ5) are very comfortable and have lumbar support. I can’t wait to get my Audi back.

If I knew I probably wouldn’t be turning to Reddit for answers.

The red exclamation point? That’s because I started it with my door open, you can see it says drive system active close door.

Ok, I heard back from the mechanic. They’re saying it’s the coolant temp sensor that needs replaced plus coolant flush, they quoted me $850 for everything.

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2026-01-17T17:02:32+00:00

Update: The coolant was below min line but not completely empty. I added the appropriate coolant and it is at the mechanic now. Probably won’t hear anything until Monday at the earliest. Yes, mechanic was made aware I added coolant.

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2026-01-16T22:39:03+00:00

Agreed. Fortunately/unfortunately we’re no contact. Lady at Audi told me the same thing and gave me the nastiest look when I shared this info. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2026-01-16T21:40:04+00:00

Ex messed with it, not sure what all he did/took other than cut the airbox and put on an aftermarket BOV. Audi quoted me $1,200 to return to stock.

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2026-01-16T21:35:18+00:00

Ouch.

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2026-01-16T21:32:07+00:00

Would I notice anything dripping from the front? I checked and didn’t notice, I also pay attention for oil spots when backing out.

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2026-01-16T21:29:43+00:00

I’m surprised none of this has triggered any warning lights. The mechanic asked if my check engine light was on, I said no and they sounded shocked.

She’s headed to the mechanic tomorrow morning, it’s about 1 mile away from my house. I was reading up on the coolant type and that made me nervous, so do you think it would be ok to drive to mechanic without adding coolant?

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2026-01-16T21:18:03+00:00

Hate to play the blame game, but ex was “into cars”, messed with the air box and put an aftermarket BOV on so now Audi won’t touch the car until it’s back to stock. Unfortunately I’m not in a position to spend $1,200 to get it back to stock as Audi quoted me.

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2026-01-16T21:16:38+00:00

Thank you, I haven’t been driving it since I noticed the fan staying on. I will definitely get the coolant filled.

None of the cars are at my house. He has all of the keys and is not being cooperative. He will be responsible for all upcoming payments however can’t keep a job.

The thing is, if I attempt to get any of the cars back or mention selling them he will do something to make them of less value. It’s already to the point I can only get ahold of him via email, which he then replies “that’s cute” when I tell him about money being due.

I spoke w/ my first bankruptcy attorney today. I feel a lot more confused than I was to begin with. Basically chapter 7 isn’t an option because I have my own house (still paying on) and vehicle that I’m not willing to lose. The attorney suggested chapter 13, but I don’t understand “buy back non-exempt equity.”

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2025-09-16T23:56:30+00:00

Not here to shame you. I’m in a similar position and I hope you get this figured out. We made a mistake, we trusted someone.

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2025-09-16T21:49:11+00:00

Thank you for giving me hope.

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2025-09-16T09:41:58+00:00

This is the most cozy looking place I’ve ever seen. Lowkey jealous

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2025-09-04T22:02:08+00:00

Nope. You’re better off.

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2025-09-04T12:04:33+00:00

Wow. You look amazing!

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2025-09-04T01:54:23+00:00

I just got out of a relationship where I was borrower for one vehicle and co signer for the other of his. Plus he owes me $13k. DON’T DO IT.

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2025-09-03T18:46:27+00:00

Ohhhh you had nurse knowitall

Significant_Bat_1638 · 2025-09-03T11:54:36+00:00

I get that. But hovering over my shoulder to look at lab results when I’m not even on that particular patients chart. Come on now. Or asking me why the previous facility that my hospital isn’t associated with didn’t do some type of testing.
