My wife and both have '15 Q5 TDIs. Hers is a low mileage garage queen and mine is going on 80k. They both, 99% of the time, drive completely normal. Then once in a while it acts like severe turbo lag then wide open. It is kind of unnerving in traffic but doesn't seem normal. Do I need to check the linkage on the turbo and lube it. I read on here that is one of the things that is done at a 10k service. What kind of high temp lube would be appropriate or is it necessary?
