I meant to update on this - i got the car Back within 6 hours of the scuff repair so it wasn't too bad, ridiculously they brought the car back with only the area of the repair washed...I don't like the dealer cleaning the car as they might as well use a yard broom, but I'd expect them to if they...
An update for anyone who’s interested, software updates applied, brake system drained and refilled all in the same day last week which was good - they claimed the pre-sense isn’t faulty despite the dash telling me it was, the suggestion is to turn its sensitivity down but it’s only on medium and...
...so it’s been a couple of months since I reported to my dealership that the car was listing a recall on the brakes. They didn’t do anything for weeks and I ended up going in and showing the fault to them so that they’d believe me.
After checking the system properly, they said that there...
Well the MMI says I’m getting much more, it says 36mpg average, but I’ve fully filled the tank 5 times and have managed about 420 each time so def not getting 36mpg. I drive very sensibly most of the time, and it’s 60/40 split on motorway/local driving, I use cruise control requally and I’m not...
Great stuff! I've done about 2000 miles now and on mixed driving, I'm getting 4-430miles per tank - it breaks my heard that a tank costs over £90 but that's the price you pay!
The park assist is a godsend, we have on-street parking and it's brilliant, there is one shortfall - it doesn't...
I've called them and I'm awaiting a call back to book it in - however this was a few days ago and given that this is brake related I'm pretty annoyed that they're not jumping through hoops to get it checked out!

This is interesting - I just noticed by accident when I was looking at the ‘myaudi’ App that I have 2 recall notices - interestingly my deal or Audi UK haven’t been in touch, and the app doesn’t make it overly obvious (no notifications etc!).
I’ll give them a call and get it booked in - also...
Thanks for the feedback, RE: Autoghost, did he demonstrate how it could be got around? The synic in me wonders if he’s making less commission on them as they seem to be a flat rate everywhere?
I know with the Audi standard stuff, disabled keyless entry the addition of a steering lock is still...
The best of it is I’m making it sounds like I a wanted a fan fair - I didn’t, but I did want to feel like they cared and I didn’t get that at all.
I’m lucky to be in the position I’m in, and I wouldn’t go to the supermarket and expect a freebie, but then this isn’t a supermarket - I went to a...
So this was my email:
Hi ‘dealer’
Hope you are well? – I’ve just received my questionnaire in regards to the recent SQ5 purchase. Before I fill this in I wanted to run a few things by you.
I’m not hugely impressed with the prep of the car, the minor things were the stickers that were on the...
haha - I def don’t find it hard to park without the aides and haven’t tried the self park yet, but it was mega to watch such a large vehicle park itself so quickly and acuratly!
I’ve just had a response form the dealer - not favourable.
Hi,
So my new SQ5 arrived last week and I’m thinking I should probably thinking about the additional security – we have on street parking, and following my S1 being stolen in Feb I’d like to try and hold onto this one!
My initial thought is to get Autoghost which I like the sound of in...
Had a great weekend driving around and getting used to the beast. Really capable vehicle, and now my wife has sussed out the self-parking [which I've got to admit is pretty impressive] she's really pleased with it too!
I've just had my emailed questionnaire through from Audi about the...
Yes BUT I’m not sure if they come as standard as they’re packaged up in the boot and the dealer said we put them in as they don’t come with the SQ5 for some reason - obviously I’ve not had the best dealer so do check with yours.
Yeah I completely agree - I have a lot on atm so havent had a chance to get back to them but I think I will report my 'niggles' and subtly report on the handover experience - I literally only asked for a demo on the self park and to be told to go to a quiet carpark and read the book isn't what I...
...just got cover with ALA for £330, interestingly they quoted £424 online, I did a quick online chat and they quoted less without being asked and then applied a 10% discount code - fairly happy with that cost to provide 40k cover over 6 years against a 60k vehicle.
RE: faraday - it will be a right pain, but I asked the dealer about disarming the keyless option and they said it cant be done - I did find a setting in the MMI that turns it on and off but it was set to off already and it's very much still on when I pull the handle with the key near.
I'll do...
Yeah I’ve read the above before - I’m being gentle-ish with it. It’s on a PCP but I’d still expect some handover on a 60k vehicle.
It also had 27miles on the clock which felt like a lot.
In a nutshell I’m really enjoying the car. It’s so much bigger than I remember on test, but I’m...
It's arrived! - no time to take any pictures but I'm sure you all know what a grey SQ5 with a pano roof looks like!
Went smooth at the dealership, albeit al little unceremonious - it was literally on the lot, and I was given the keys and essentially told to get on with it within 15mins of...
