Thanks Gents, just for the record I had another look at the Q5 roof bars. They are too long, although not by much for the A6 roof and the clamp appears too deep for the A6 rails.
Will have a look at Thule, I am not convinced by the cheaper versions on ebay
Hi Folks,
I have a 2018 avant with closed roof rails and I am trying to find a sensible priced used set of Audi bars. I have a set of 8R Audi Q5 bars and apart from having an extra locating dowel that sits into the car’s rails they appear they might fit.
I would need to file down the extra part...
Hi Razza,
potentially yes, we have the standard Mk1 SQ5 20” alloys. The tyres are all Goodyears although the rears are at around 2.5mm with some cracking of the rubber. Have you any for sale?
Wondered if anyone has a set for sale or is considering selling?
We have the 20” wheels in great condition should a part ex be an option.
many Thanks
james
Sorry to see you sold such a lovely car. I was surprised by the price of these, are they supplied with the brackets as shown? Certainly different to the eBay stick on jobs.
Is it involved to fit them?
Many Thanks
@DJAlix are you able to activate CarPlay remotely at all please? I have a 2018 C7 with Audi phone box and dual USB connections?
I notice you are in North London and I am in Cheshire do distance is a problem. Can you give me an idea of what’s involved and cost please?
Many Thanks
Hi All,
Highly unlikely but are the standard front seats prepared with heating elements?

Many Thanks
Just to close the thread out. We have just received the car back after nearly two weeks. The timing chains, guides, tensioner, bolts baskets and seals have all been replaced. The noise has gone and the engine sounds super.
The chain was still under tension but one of the guides was chewed up...
Hi Matt, very strange that you should message at this moment in time.
I struggled to pinpoint the rattle myself and since my post the rattle became more pronounced when driven and became more noticeable when revving the car whilst parked.
We had it in at Audi for a service who couldn’t find...
It’s a strange noise, I wouldn’t necessarily describe it as a high pitch, tinny noise that perhaps you would have expected from a heat shield coming into contact with the exhaust.
Certainly more of a lower noise, more like that of a bottom end problem. When I followed the car it appeared to be...
Thanks for the post. Hopefully it is just that but wondered if it was raising its head as it is under increased load. I best get the engine tray off and have a proper inspection.
Many Thanks
Hi All,
I thought I would post looking for any suggestions.
We have a 2013 SQ5 with around 80k miles and full Audi history. The car runs very nicely and drives well. Tappety on start up buy they all are. We have noticed that when reversing up our drive there is a loud rattle from the front. It...
