    RSQ3 Retrofit matrix lights?

    I have them on my Q5 and they work really well. All I would say is remember they are only a benefit in places where you'd have main beam on if there was no traffic. They don't do anything when there are street lights so out of town use only. It really comes down to how much use/benefit you'd...

    Q5 8R 2011 Q5 - Water in boot around battery

    Rear wash wipe is def where I'd be looking. Does it work? I have previously read of pipes being blown off. I guess that could happen partially too also. Does the water smell of washer fluid?

    Are Audi mad?

    Q5 Genuine or aftermarket side steps/running boards on 17 plate Q5

    I've seen many comments on FB (one recently) where all the comments are 'they look nice but...'. They get in the way, the make your clothes dirty, they add no functionality, etc etc. I pondered them and decided against. If I was buying them I'd go 3rd party as the choice is massive.

    This has the EXO hydrophobic over the top ( plus glass, leather, interior treatments etc. Still not touched it yet despite it getting mucky up the sides.

    Gtechniq Serum Ultra

    I was told to leave it a few weeks and given the weather is so bad I've been happy to do so. I'll be following their guidance but I'll not be babying it. Its a family car and it won't always be immaculate...but when I do wash it it should come up good each and every time.

    Turning the dash scales/needle lights on and off via VCDS

    They deliberately get dimmer as the external light drops do thst the driver knows to turn on the headlights. I never had an issue. Are you using the auto setting or doing it manually to stop the lights coming on?

    Gtechniq Serum Ultra

    Just got my Q5 Sportback in Ultra Blue home after it's been away for a few days having the various protectants applied inside and out including the Serum Ultra ceramic. Only time will tell whether it is worth while but I'm happy with the first impressions
