A few subtle changes since my last post !
Now running 034motorsport stage 2+
with all supporting mods.
Also added a new set of tsw bathurst alloys in 10.5j running a 285 35 21.
Good morning. This is ours lowered 35mm on h&r springs and 15mm front and 25mm rear spacers before I changed the alloys. Hopefully this gives you an idea.
They do throw up codes when they fail properly. From what I've read when they go the whole engine stops pretty quickly and a rebuild is required.
The main problem with the old type is the bearings are too small. So when they start wearing they start rattling just a tidy amount due to the...
Nothing to worry about as far as I'm aware. The problems with rocker arms have all been petrol from what I have read.
Could be worth a look into though as the noise you have mentioned sounds exactly the same as the rocker arm bearing fault.
Another comman issue with the petrol sq5 is...
I've not read the whole thread on this so apologies if its been mentioned already. I've been reading up on this recently as I'm thinking of having our timing chain done soon and a lot of companies offer the rocker arm replacement at the same time.
In the new (2019+) 3.0tfsi engines they have...
Hi mate,
From what I believe Audi class the rear diff as a lifetime fluid. I've asked a few garages and they have recommended getting it done before 100k. Good video below. May be completely different for non S variant.
We bought our 2018 almost 2 years ago and we haven't looked back. Been an almost faultless 2 years as well.
The only options ours hasn't got is air suspension which I wish we has gone for and we didn't get the upgraded interior lighting either which I suppose would have been nice.
Seems to be...
Good morning all,
Been a while since I've posted. My sq5 has ran faultlessly in the nearly 2 years of ownership but last night this ended.
The drivers side heat controls are only blowing cold air! Has anyone had this fault? From a quick Google it seems it'll be the temperature sensor but...
I have a 2017 face-lift as well and was curious so just started the car and had a look around. I wouldn't say I have a ticking as such but it does sound like a loud engine especially with the bonnet up!
I can add a video if it would help? If you have a video that would be great as well.
Managed to pick the car up a week early! First impressions we are both extremely happy with the new purchase.
Thanks for the message and advice I'm sure I'll be adding some questions in the future.
Now time to go for another drive :)
Thanks for the replies.
Looks like we have just put a deposit on a 2017 black sq5 with a nice load of extras. Has the grey seats too which we wherent sure on in pictures but love them in person. Only thing it doesn't have that I would have liked is the air suspension but not a big problem...
I have been having a good read of that this morning, thank you.
We do really like the Bi!TDi as well so would be great to have a drive of them both (will have to wait till the C word is over an done with!).
I think the wife will like the newer shape though and the mod cons. We where going to...
