The first recall knocked my wheel alignment out, the second recall put it right and they replaced the rear tyres that were wearing round the edges.

It will cost Audi a fortune, mine had the alignment checked twice, that would cost a fair bit if you had to pay yourself and 2 new tyres at £160 each

Mine was back in yesterday, they replaced the back 2 tyres, said the fronts were fine and they realigned the car again. I was given paperwork saying work done as a result of the recall.

I had asked that my Q5 was set to variable servicing but the dealer set it to fixed. When I asked about this (at 2 different dealers) I was told that I can reset the oil change interval once met at 9,000 miles. I did that last week and both oil change and service is now at 19,000 miles. No need...

Recall update: Ive just got the car back from the Local dealer, the alignment was out due to the previous recall. As the rear tyres have excessive wear because of this Audi UK have authorised a full set of new tyres is fitted to the car. It’s booked in to have this done in two weeks and once...

Turns out there is a recall for my car as the previous recall to fix the rear axel has put it out of alignment so I need to book it in for for a check. Apparently if it is found to be out of alignment Audi will replace the tyres if they show excessive wear. I’ll believe that when it happens!

Cheers, I’ll get it booked in!

I’ve noticed that both my rears are wearing around the outside, much more than the front tyres. The cars done 8,000 miles and the outside of the rear tyres is on 3mm of tread left, the centre of the tyres has 5mm. The fronts are hardly worn. Is this normal?

I did about 30,000 miles in my A6 (40 tdi) and didn’t put any oil in, I swapped it for a new Q5 with the same engine, 6 months ago, in the first 5,000 miles I’ve had to drop 2l of oil in it. I thought it had a fault or a leak at first but it just seems to burn a bit more oil than my previous car.

My Q5 2.0 tdi wanted a litre of oil putting in it at about 3000 miles.

Hope you enjoy it and don’t have any bother with it! looks like you live near where my Aunty lived, she lived near the Jolly Bowman but it’s about 15 years since I was last in there.

I managed nearly 700 miles to the last tank but it was all motorway miles, over 50 mpg. Around town is around 30 mpg though.

Got in the car today and it was fine again. Showing the correct location. I don’t know if its a dodgy sat nav reciever or a software issue. I’ll see if it does it again.

I’ve got a 3 month old Q5, yesterday while driving home from Birmingham up the M6 the satnav suddenly put me in Hereford, over 100 miles away, it gradually got further away the further I drove up north. I started the car this morning and it’s fine, back to showing the correct location. Anyone...

My 21 Q5 has this issue also, I’m waiting for Audi to ring me to get it booked in to be fixed, apparently it’s a connect issue with the car.
