    SQ5 Keyless theft protection??

    Just came across this: Choice of 2nd vehicle made me decide to share here!! Interesting solution. Not sure about the double tap thing tbh! Anyone done this yet? Or similar? FYI. I have no affiliation with anyone in, or connected, to this video. And while it could all be 'smoke and mirrors'...

    SQ5 2018 SQ5

    Yeah, checked just after I read your post. Nothing I could find. I assume it will show on the app not just web site? Edit: just checked there too; nothing showing.

    SQ5 2018 SQ5

    @q5man do you know which vehicles the recalls impact? We took delivery August last after really lengthy delays but I believe yours it a bit older?

    SQ5 Washer woes

    @RS3 S. ours lives on the drive too just because our garage is full of junk!! Currently in at dealer - sent me a nice video of what they found - apparently a stopper plug has gone so they need to replace the whole rear camera washer feed?!? Car should be done Monday but until then I ‘enjoying’...

    SQ5 Launch control, anyone?

    I see sadly that it’s going to be flattened to build more industrial estates. Shame as I was considering nipping down there in the summer for a play.

    SQ5 Launch control, anyone?

    According to http://accelerationtimes.com/models/audi-sq5-tfsi I could 9.1 seconds for a 200m sprint. Not sure the Mrs would be very happy if she was a passenger though.

    SQ5 Launch control, anyone?

    @terminator x ‘abused’??? You’re just showing you care ;) That is an element (sort of) of what these cars were designed for. Out of interest, what times were you getting on your runs?

    SQ5 Launch control, anyone?

    @terminator x … with no obvious side effects? So has your RS4 got the same transmission as 2019 SQ5? Tiptronic, I believe, as opposed to S-tronic, which does have a launch control function as per the manual.

    SQ5 Launch control, anyone?

    While I know ‘we’ don’t have official launch control, but has anyone tried something similar? I read on some thread there is a ‘torque converter’ method but it can fry the transmission, which clearly is undesirable. Might give it a try now the weather is improving slightly unless you folks know...

    SQ5 Washer woes

    Not sure if any of you other ‘18 SQ5 owners have had this issue but a heads up I guess. During the cold snap someone- definitely wasn’t the mrs!! - squirted the rear screen washer while the jet nozzle was frozen. It appears now that this blew the water feed pipe off as when you squirt at the...

    SQ5 Collecting new SQ5 TSFI on Sunday - petrol advice please

    @isleaiw Do you find using higher octane fuels provides better MPG? And does that out weigh the additional, albeit pence, cost. The additional performance is a given. Based on this very scientific research, I would opt for Shell v Power. Possibly ;)

    SQ5 Google earth MMI

    Surely it downloads the satellite image data direct from Google? Wouldn't make sense to download and cache all that stuff.

    SQ5 Full beam throw on LED matrix lights

    It must vary between a right giggle and a huge PTA keeping your beast under control in the snow ;)

    SQ5 Full beam throw on LED matrix lights

    @terminator x I assume you mean the Matrix LEDs? It was cool watching it activate/deactivate elements for approaching vehicles and signs etc. waiting for a really dark night to give it a bit more of a test. How does it handle snow? Does it recognise it as a reflective glare surface or just go...

    SQ5 Full beam throw on LED matrix lights

    The first couple of hundred miles were in comfort mode, but I was missing any exhaust note. I wanted to keep the engine/gearbox mechanics activity to a bare minimum, so left that in comfort, everything else in dynamic - height/dampers, steering, exhaust. Yes, we do have Air suspension so I think...

    SQ5 Full beam throw on LED matrix lights

    Ok, cool. I’ll have to go out and find some dark country lanes. There was some other traffic and street lighting, so I guess the system was tempering itself. Can’t believe you haven’t hit 1k yet!! So you’ve not pushed it yet then? The car has been in Individual from day one - everything...

    SQ5 Google earth MMI

    I switched to GM view for about 10 minutes on my way home on Saturday and all worked ok. Did have issues with MMI connect last week, so Audi could be messin’ with their servers but I would suspect the mapping data comes down live direct from Google unless Audi augement extra stuff on top.

    SQ5 Full beam throw on LED matrix lights

    During my limited ownership period of a month or so, I’ve only been out in the dark in the car a couple of times. The auto full beam and matrix beam works a treat and is pretty cool, but the distance illuminated when on full beam seems a bit short. I was expecting everything to be lit up like...

    SQ5 So the wait begins...again!

    Not posted for a while, so thought it was time for an update. After having the Q7 loaner for just over 2 weeks, miraculously our arrived in the UK and was ready for collection. Sadly this was 2 days before our hols so we postponed collection until we got back. Turned out to be a wise decision...
