DEF Tip
At 7000 miles started getting the DEF refill warnings.
Wife took it to the dealer in Austin and came home with a receipt for $180. I nearly had a stroke. They charge $28 for each two liter bottle. It holds 4.8 gals.
Called Dallas dealer. They do a full refill for $49.
Since then I found the same ISO certified DEF on Amazon for $20 for 2.5 gals. Audi sells the two liter bottles for $12.
Even though the D V cost $75K I guess the still want to screw you on the consumables.

Buy Peak DEF at Pep Boys and get two 2.5 gallon containers until the end of the month BOGO free. I think they are about $15 each and it meets the ISO requirements. Also includes a refill hose, so no funnel required.

I picked some up at Walmart as well, do you know what ISO standard they have to meet?
Sure there is; they charge $60 because people will pay it without knowing any better.

I've now gone through two or three of them with zero issues.
