    Q5 2016 facelift q5 stronic..is gearbox problematic like the earlier stronics?

    absolutely beautiful! The one I’m looking at is “only a bog standard” 3.0tdi but is the same colour and has the same wheels! I’m just super concerned about the gearbox issues I’ve been reading about as I’d be looking to keep the car for a few years and as it’s just coming out of warranty, if it...

    Q5 2016 facelift q5 stronic..is gearbox problematic like the earlier stronics?

    Hi guys, I had a Audi A4 3.0tdi convertible (manual) a few years back and loved it. I’ve currently got my eye on a 2016 q5 facelift 3.0tdi stronic (the first model not the new version). I’m reading horror stories about failed gearboxes all over the net albeit they seem from earlier cars around...

    A4 cabriolet rear high brake light intermittent problem

    Guys, the dash light comes on intermittently on my 2007 a4 cab saying the rear high brake bulb has blown- it hasn't. It's very annoying and I'm guessing its a faulty connection. Seems to happen more when it's raining or after it's rained. I took it in for a service today and mentioned it to...

    DTM Wheels Value

    How much are the tyres new? £120ish? Say £400 plus £500 for each new alloy, so roughly £2400 new. £1000 is reasonable imo IF alloys and wheels in fantastic condition...like above poster said their worth what someone would pay...

    DTM Wheels Value

    Personally, at circa £500 a wheel new, plus tyres I'd say they were worth a grand for a set of four. I have them on my a4 cab as an original option. Not a lot of them come up second hand and luckily enough mine are in good condition but I would happily pay a grand for a spare set...if your...

    Winter Protection for a fellow member

    And I must say I was thoroughly impressed! Literally from the moment Luke got to mine he didn't stop all day, just continuously working on the car to get IMO some great results. He did advise me to have some machine polishing beforehand but I was happy to see what he could achieve by hand first...

    Hi guys, I'm normally over on the a4 pages. Was wondering if an A3 2.0tdi on a 55 plate would ppossibly suffer from the dreaded oil pump/balance shaft problem? Ive seen one for the misses but need to know if this car could even potentially have the issue? Any help would be much appreciated!
