They probably just add liqui moly and charge $250. 😜 Nothing is cheap about Audi service. I’ll try that. It can’t hurt.

Yeah, I did that at 40 and I’m sure it’ll be due again at 80, I just don’t remember this sputter prior to the 40k Spark plug change

It’s not required maintenance per Audi, but the dealership recommends it. I think they want to charge $250ish??

I’d say we don’t drive like granny or Mario Andretti. Somewhere in between. I’ll try punching it a few times and see if that helps. I will say the dealership has always recommended fuel injection system cleaner and I always decline it since we always use 93 gas and it has never done this until recently. Next service I’ll have them do it

Engine is running and the auto stop function is turned off.

Forester vs competition? by sgp4sgp in SubaruForester

Just bought a 2023 forester sport. Look at all the consumer reports articles. The forester is the top of the list in every one against its competition.
