The dream car of my wife is an Audi Q5 and I'm in charge of finding one for her, no rush for now, around 2010-2012, 2.0 turbo, which all pretty much have more than 100.000 miles on the clock.

However, I'm trying to find common issues before buying one and I'm kinda scared with what I've have found. That's why I'm here, trying to learn from experienced people.

Is it true that the Q5 break all the time water pumps, timing chains, turbos (for the 2.0), alternators and a variety of plastic parts like coolant valves?

I already have some countermeasures in some cases, but when I saw the turbo failure and the price of the new part, with a bunch of upgraded accessories to fix other potential issues, that took the crap out of me, and that's only for the turbo, no labor involved.

Thank you.
