    Q5 Q5 Air con Issue, Recirculation flap fault

    Q5 Air con Issue. I have a 2018 Q5 and since a couple of years ago the air con has been acting weird. Past few weeks it has stopped working on passenger side and switches off drivers side, leading to a very hot car. I took it to a local garage as engine light came on and turned out to be glow...

    Q5 Audi Q5 clicking pedal

    Funny this post came up as I was just browsing the web to see if clicking was an issue on the q5. I’ve felt the light clicking as I get going but never after and wondered did I have a dodgy pedal or worse. Was going to ring dealer and mention it tomorrow incase it was something bad. Thanks for...

    Q5 Hill hold assist

    Just picked up a new Q5 that was in Audi stock and came off the boat a few weeks ago. But hill hold assist isn't on there and i thought it came as standard when i looked on configurator running through it with the dealer. Was there a MY18 change that included this as standard ? and maybe mine...

    Facelift decisions: 2.0 TDI or 1.4 COD

    I've had the 150 tdi a3 and then got the 1.4cod in pretty much same spec due to mileage. I would say there is a marginal difference in mpg. I'm often in the 55s to 60s with the cod on way to work and tdi was similar. Only thing that bugged me with tdi was the dpf coming on a few times a week and...

    TFSI 140 COD: vibrations in 2-cyl mode

    I have felt a vibration occasionally but wouldn't say it was bad. Most of the time it is silent and I don't know it is on apart from on the screen. When it does vibrate it almost feels like the engine is struggling under load cause it should be using 4 and not 2 cylinders.

    1.4 or 1.4 COD

    If I'm driving carefully to work I have got up to 58mpg before and If I'm running late it's about 45. No motorway driving either. Range was 500 miles last tank fill up. Guess I'm taking it easy still as its 2 months old and I've not done many miles.

    1.4 TFSI COD

    About £50 ish to fill up. Mines brand new and been getting between 45 and 51 mpg every day with average driving.

    Anyone got pictures of a A3 Sline SB on SE suspension ?

    You can tell the difference very slightly when looking at it compared to sport suspension but SE doesn't look high at all with 18s.

    S3/A3 ride/handling...? Honest opinions

    I don't have an S3 but an A3 sline Tdi with SE suspension. Lost count of the amount of times I've almost crapped myself going round a corner thinking will I make it or bouncing all over the place. Not sure what to go for next as its put me off a bit.

    DPF Recycle

    Is it worse on newer models due to having to make the engines cleaner these days? Never noticed it on other diesels I use and had in the past.

    DPF Recycle

    In winter it comes on more than summer but I guess that's due to the engine taking a while to warm up when it's cold? It's about 12 miles to work and in winter I would say it kicks in at least once a week. Also I find the car isn't as responsive when the DPF kicks in but I can never tell why...

    1.4tfsi 150 COD or 2.0 tdi 150?

    Interesting! 37 seems low for the cod? I got about 48 on my test drive and that wasn't hanging around. I often get 49 on my diesel and thats why I was interested in the petrol. I have found after 2 years it isn't quite as nippy as it used to be and the engine has that typical diesel noise I've...

    Is it safe to wax without claying/alternatives?

    I think if you use a good wax like Collinite and top it up before the car needs rewaxing you can get away with a good wash. Last time I cleaned it properly there was no tar or much picked up by the clay bar as the wax was still on the car as it lasts so long.

    A3 S-Line hatch - colour choice

    Out of those choices I wouldn't consider the white as it looks like an off cream colour.

    1.4tfsi 150 COD or 2.0 tdi 150?

    I only tried it with myself in the car but it felt like a mini sports car compared to mine as the acceleration is so good. The diesel is a nice engine compared to ones I've had before, but my next one will probably be the petrol with sports suspension. Everyone has a different view so best to...

    1.4tfsi 150 COD or 2.0 tdi 150?

    I have the 2.0L TDI 150 and then had a go in the cod. I was really impressed by it and wonder why I went diesel for my 8k a year. It's such a smooth engine, really quiet and has some nice power/acceleration in the lower gears.

    Post your Sound Settings!

    That's what mine is on and it's good. But I have really noticed using high quality MP3's makes a huge difference along with a good SD card.
