SQ5 Buying advice

micalee · Jul 2, 2020

Hi. I have been looking at getting an SQ5 (MY2013 - MY2015 seems to be my budget) and just joined this section of the forum. I am after any buying guides or advice available, what to look for etc.

I have just read about there is 'adblue' and 'pre adblue'? What is this, what years were these relevant to and which is preferred?

If anyone knows anything about reliability, or common issues that would be good also. Lastly, is there anything to worry about high mileage examples, over say 70/80k?

AMAZING machines! I've a 2016 SQ5 TDi and 100% recommend!

See my own purchase report: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threa...-and-counting-down-to-a-place-near-me.386559/

100% content with our 2016 SQ5 - our RS3 and TT are 'parked'...

If you need 2010/2015 AUDI UK Q5 SALES BROCHURE FEBRUARY then PM me your email address...

DO look at: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/2015-65-sq5-floret-silver.418277/

Ju should NOT be selling this stunning machine but he is...

Hope this helps...

"Whether you’re considering buying a new car or already own one registered after September 2015, you’ll need to be aware of what a Euro 6 standard is and how it can affect you." See: https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice/emissions/euro-6-diesel/

From September 2015 the Audi SQ5 uses Adblue. Mine is a 2016 and uses Adblue. It is not an issue for me! Mega clean on the exhaust, etc.

Euro 5 standard cars will become a 'Gretta' issue way before Euro 6 standard cars.

Oh, and in 18-months I've topped my Adblue tank up once!
