[@addd717]

To be honest Audi should do a recall for these rollers.

[@Lucentlens]

Even without being honest!

[@samsterstormhobbies]

I am a tech at main dealer and we don’t see an awful lot of them, I have seen more roller issues on 3.0 than the 2.9’s, the thing is unless it’s affect a majority of vehicles it’s not worth it for them, they will just pay on a case by case basis under factory warranty if it is covered etc… Annoying I know but I do see lots I would expect to be a recall!

I just purchased a 2022 RS5 and after watching the first video I was nervous and was going to trade it in until he said he rocker arms were upgraded from 2019 onward

[@ProgTrance]

Just out of curiosity.. Say the rocker pins did fall out. Is there enough valve clearance for them to fall into the cylinder? Just trying to figure out if it would be a catastrophic failure if they failed or if it could be caught in time. Thanks!

[@richardyim7543]

[@morganlingsweiler9813]

@@Jolinator yea I've been desperately searching the forums to see if there is anyone mentioning a way of doing it with the subframe partially dropped etc. My wife and I would love an SQ5 as our next car but I will talk her out of it, into a x3 m40i if this does require engine removal. I wouldn't want to go longer than 50-60k miles between valve cleanings, especially if the car was tuned. This would make the SQ5 like the b5 Audi S4 v6tt for me. A car I absolutely love but will never own unless I hit the lottery.
