German cars are known for needing repairs after they reach 100K miles. This 2019 Audi Q5 is no different. The customer has extensive records of all repairs this SUV has ever needed. What did they ask the CAR WIZARD 🧙♂️ to repair?

tell this guy he only needs his NY reg and temp inspection sticker taped to the windshield when he's IN NY lol
recent-year Porsche and Volvo owner here… Automaker maintenance is recommended at 10k miles (or 1 yr, which ever comes first), which I always stick to carefully. But there's always that debate about doing oil changes every 5k miles, even if manufacturer says 10k miles. What's your take on that, for longevity? (I notice that, when you went through the Audi maintenance book there, you didn't say the mileages at which the oil changes and standard servicing were done. Was it the manufacturer-recommended 10k miles only?)
I have a 2019 Audi Q5 with 27,350 miles on it. Glad to know that it will take me places if I take proper care of it! I also own a 2005 MB C230 with 137,000 miles on it, and it drives great. German cars all the way!
I’d buy it, tune it, and still get it to 300k miles on the original drivetrain. 😎 🤟🏽
My 1999 Passat v6 has over 200k miles… hard miles too (I am embarrassed to say it was not very well taken care of). Never ever let me down
I have a 2006 Dodge Dakota with a 3.7 V6… it has over 327K miles… not known for reliability… it was traded in buy a doctor to Carmax… i paid nothing for it since I am a carmax employee and I needed a cheap truck…. Ran the carfax on it and he religiously change the oil on it, serviced the transmission, and serviced the rear differential on it. The only thing I had to do was replace the radiator. I have also replace the struts and shocks and did a tuneup. The truck runs and drives perfect. It looks great. It just shows what maintenance will do to any vehicle to make it last a long time.
Looks like ordinary service for the most part
184 is not 200k – clickbait title
@Car Wizard Any other older Audis that are recommended?
Thats the whole point German cars require more money and time in a workshop to maintain
On the other hand it probably won't be on the road 10 years from now. I also probably will never buy a used audi with 200k miles.
Wow Ms Wizard putting on work. She sounds so comfortable and natural.
Motor mounts are leaking
That service manual is glorious
Keeping up with regular maintenance on a German car isn't much different than an American or Japanese car. Where they get expensive is some of the goofy, unnecessary design decisions made by the engineers who designed the vehicle. One Volkswagen I owned had coolant running through the intake manifold. Any problem requiring that intake manifold be removed means it's a much more involved and time consuming job than most other cars. The car wasn't a high performance model, just a typical sedan so cooling the intake wasn't necessary at all. The car drove great but that had nothing to do with the coolant routed through the intake manifold.
What I’m surprised to see is that the car is supposedly still running on the original timing chain, water pump & PCV valve. I have Q5 myself, I’m very diligent with preventative maintenance, yet I’m kind of waiting with dread in my eyes the day when I need to replace one of those items.
How often do i need to change transmission oil on audi a4 2018??
Thank you for this video. I own a 2013 VW Passat. Love it. Super reliable. Do I baby it in the way I drive and maintain it? YES!!!
Next time, buy an RX350… save a fortune on maintenance.
Dashboard is not hard plastic. It’s soft
I see OJ!
Is it also because it’s the MBQ Gen III 2.0T engine platform? That was better built than the previous.
Thats it, im buying a french car
02 audi a4 big turbo with stock block and valves 250k miles still going strong just maintain your cars people
I’m oddly blown away at the amount of people boasting about their German cars getting to 100k-200k. Isn’t 200k miles on a car pretty much a standard number across the board?? I’m confused?
Like, 200k miles is the standard minimum for a Toyota, Honda, Mazda.. even Kia and Hyundai get 200k miles out of them now-a-days and have been for quite a few years now. 400k-500k miles is the “wow-that’s-so-cool-factor” in 2023.
I’m also really confused on the majority of people saying, “it’s just basic maintenance.. you just need to take care of your car.. blah blah blah”. That’s so beyond far from the truth I don’t know how to even explain it but I’ll try.
1.) F*CKING DUH YOU R*TARDS!! DUHHHHHH BASIC MAINTENANCE WILL HELP!! It’s about the AMOUNT and COST of maintenance vs a Japanese brand per se.
2.) Are you guys dumb or just stupid 🤪. The German cars could have all of the basic maintenance done to them in the world and still fail way earlier than 100k miles (WHICH THEY DO MAJORITY OF TIMES). Maintenance has absolutely NOTHING to do with the actual quality of components being used in their cars (which is not high according to ANY mechanic who’s touched one before). No matter how much oil flows through a piece of plastic, it’ll always break faster than if it were metal! 🤗
3.) IF basic maintenance were true for any car’s longevity across the board, Japanese cars wouldn’t dominate the market…?? Honda and Toyota wouldn’t have their reliability titles that they do. You wouldn’t see 1 Volkswagen for every 35 Hondas or Toyotas. Hearing stories of Mercs/BMWs/Audis having 300k miles with “basic maintenance only” wouldn’t have a shock value to them 😱.
4.) APPARENTLY YOU GUYS HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE SAYING, “you’re the exception, not the rule” BECAUSE IF YOU WOULD’VE, YOU WOULDN’T FEEL COMPELLED TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD HOW YOUR GERMAN SH*T-BOX HAS HAD “nO PRobLemS WhATsoeVeR” BECAUSE NOBODY WOULD CARE!!!!! Our culture doesn’t tell stories that have no shock value to them, no do we? 🤨
Yessir 🚗
All my friends have BMWs,Mercedes, Porches, Volvos over 200K and much better shape than fake legen Toyotas
Cars are different these days. Cars are lasting longer than ever. The old trope of 100k being a lot is no longer valid. This video title is sensationalism and or behind the times.
life is gay
Car Wizard, what kind of oil do you use on this Q5? Factory recommendation is a very thin 0W-20, probably for emissions. Would the engine wear faster on a 0W-20 compared to say a more standard 5W-30?
Please what is your opinion on the audi v6 supercharged engines from 2013-2017?
Would really like to know if it’s still running the original timing chain?
I'm so glad my Honda doesn't have bushings or bearings to worry about
189k on a 2006 bmw in my yard and it still runs fine. It needs gaskets for sure but not too bad. Spent less than 1000 on maintenance besides oil and tires over 6 years. Germans can be fine.
If you want an appliance, buy a toyota. When you buy a german car, you're buying into a lifestyle. It's not a cheap lifestyle but it will reward you with driving pleasure so long as you pay the cost of upkeep and maintenance.
