The dealership said it was a faulty error code on cylinder 1 - misfire. I'm not sure how much I believe that as the car had around 400 miles on it. However, the dealership has been very professional, and they even dropped off the car at my house and picked up the loaner.

Happy to hear they were able to fix the issue! My dealer also offers a drop-off and pickup service for oil changes and other service issues. Not sure I'll be taking advantage of it though as I don't feel comfortable letting the service guys drive my car.

I have some shocking news for you. They will drive your car even if you drop it off. They have to.

Driving my car around the dealership vs driving my car for the 30 + miles from the dealership to my house is not the same thing. Thanks for the "shocking" news though.

Yeah I agree on the service guys. However, my Audi Sport sales person drove it to me. He said he wouldn't let anyone young drive it lol

Oh okay. I actually have a good friend that works in the service department at my dealer. I would let him drive it to me. If you have a good relationship with someone then that can give you some peace of mind vs letting a random person drive your almost $100k car.

Update. The car is back in the shop for the same issue. As of today it only happens in Dynamic mode with spirited driving.

Which dealer in the Chicago area are your bringing your RS 5 to? I can say from working for an Audi dealer in that area, not all the service centers are the same.

I take it to Audi Morton Grove - no complaints. I know one of their senior technicians by name now — colossal computer nerd.They replaced the coils for cylinders 1-3, and so far no more misfirings on dynamic. I just tested it today. Also got my black badges in all around. Took three weeks!
