Engine Replacement for Audi Q5 2.0T

[LessGo99]

So I’m stuck with the unfortunate task of replacing the engine in my ‘12 Audi Q5 2.0T. I’m kinda stressing about potential issues with piston rings and oil consumption; so I really want to make sure I’m getting a solid replacement...

Got any good recommendations for where to get a reliable engine or tips on what to keep an eye out for when buying one?

Before considering a replacement, have you tried all possible troubleshooting steps to address the engine issue?

Yeah, I’ve tried all the usual stuff - compression tests, oil checks, even ran a diagnostic scan. But honestly, it’s just not improving. The engine’s pretty much shot, so I’m thinking swapping it out is the way to go.
