My A5 needed to have its engine replaced at 17,000 miles. I already had the 5k service and the 15k service.
Audi put in a rebuilt engine, which they said was basically new. I assumed then that I should treat it as new. I assumed I would receive the 5k and 15k services again. Instead, the dealer told me that I should just proceed as if nothing had ever happened and just wait for my 25k service. Not even an early oil change.

I believe I should get the 5k service again, and the 15k. And really, what are we talking about here? A couple hundred bucks? To keep a loyal customer happy?

I'm curious what you all think. Would you be ok with just pretending nothing had ever happened? Or do you think I should treat this as a new engine and re-do my services? Thanks....

 

I personally wouldn't have that. You now have a engine with no idea how it has been treated, you cannot be expected to take someones word for it!

Its obviously not a new engine by the sounds of it. Your call...

 

in "my" opinion, i would beat the **** of the car and do an oil change ever 5k. breaking in a new motor at high rpms was expressed to me in my early days when starting out as the engine will "seat" better and last longer.

i would do the first LOF at 1k to get the assy lube and break in wear out of the engine.
