I haven't owned any B9 long enough to know about any real issues with them. My previous car was a 2021 A4. The one before that was a B8 (2010 Avant). The engine was replaced at 80k miles for (you guessed it) oil consumption issues. The only other issue that car had was the steering rack at about 100k miles.

Thanks for sharing for the 2010. Really seems like odd things break on Audis. Never heard of a car breaking a rack on another car...but this is the second time I hear of an Audi needing a rack.
