Default Q5 recall Q's.

Have a Question about recall repairs.
Received a letter from Audi regarding a recall. Can't remember the exact issue, but it has to do with the oil loss.

Took it in to the dealer and before they could check it for the recall issue they say my engine has oil sprayed all over the place. Turns out the cam sensor O-ring needs replaced. Fixed.

So now I'm in diagnostic mode to see if I'm loosing too much oil too fast. If my Q5 fails they told me audi will rebuild the motor. New internals. Complete overhaul.

Has anyone had the rebuild due to the recall?
Will I get a free loaner while it's being serviced?


Had my oil warning come on twice in the past few months.

That link has a cute 14-second delay before forwarding to a second page full or articles links, but mentions nothing about any oil consumption problems.

And you still don't say if you are talking about a new issue, or the OLD ONE that was resolved several year ago, with engines that are no longer in use on the newer models.

Are you talking about a 2014 or later recall for 2014 or later models? Or not?
