Hedge72 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Hello all. I did try to look through previous posts, but could not find a thread. My 2015 SQ5 Tdi has started to vibrate when in a high gear with low revs, high torque required. Also can it be, at times, clunky selecting Drive or Reverse. I think it feels like a clutch slipping a little. Any thoughts? Torque convertor? A sensor? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Does sound more mechanical than electrical but you could get as diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. When was the gearbox last serviced? If it's the torque converter or clutch I'd get this sorted asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedge72 Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Gearbox serviced 6 months ago. Many thanks for the advice, I shall get it looked at ASAP. Edited October 8, 2023 by Hedge72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Hello Steve, Not a progressive answer, but has this issue occurred since the gearbox was serviced, and did this service involve diagnostic resetting? Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedge72 Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 Looking back I feel this has been a progressive development and nothing to do with the service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 You could well be right Steve. I take it it was a gearbox specialist who did the gearbox service for you -? If so, my way forward would be to ask them to inspect and test it for you. Kind regards, Gareth. p.s. We take it this was a multi £100s gearbox service -?

Hedge72 Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 Ah, I was wrong, diff serviced, not gearbox. It has never been serviced. On 85k miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Thereby could be your best route then Steve. Find yourself a recommended gearbox specialist, and seek road test and inspection there. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
