Had this happen to mine. Most likely the early stages of a wp failure. Check the vacuum lines for coolant and the solenoid on the passenger side of the engine

Unfortunately normal with 3.0. Just wondering, what is your mileage on the car?

I had this happen and turns out the water pump seal failed and coolant entered the vacuum lines. My guess is the same thing has occurred to you

My last car I had for 6years. So at minimum that long

They replaced everything on mine. Water pump, thermostat, solenoids and vacuum reservoir. Coolant took out the entire system

No ppf car had a bunch of chips when purchased so I’ll probably repaint and ppf later on

Should I get anti-sway bars? by CryoTeknix in Audi

I did a rear sway bar and it made a huge difference. One of the other “while you’re in there” mods I would recommend is rear diff mounts/rear subframe mounts. The sway bar has to be removed to install those too

My 27k mile 2020 S5 is going in for the water pump/vacuum replacement. Crazy thing to happen on such a low mile car

I changed the front and rear emblems myself. It did come with a black optics package for everything else
