Good afternoon all,

I'm new to this forum, but have been an Audi owner for a number of years.

Can anyone who has owned an SQ5 give me a quick run down on running costs /servicing costs?

Thanks very much.

hey Simon,

are you going for a new one or used? 

i've had a 2013 one for a while now - i average about 40mpg. (average over a tank of fuel) down to about 30mpg if i get regular 'heavy foot syndrome' 

I did drive a petrol version and at best, got 25mpg...

Hi - I've had a brand new Q5 for about a month now and I've done about 900 miles. Initially the breaks were squealing and I just assumed it was cause it was brand new, but it's still happening after 900 miles - is this normal? Should I get it seen to? Thanks in advance.

Brand spanking new? as in not a demo or anything? 

I think the bedding in for the normal pads and discs are about 1k miles. Seens as you posted this over a month ago i assume youve done some more miles - did it fix itself?

if not are you getting any feedback in the steering at all? or pulling? 

if you are, then id get it looked at but if not i think its a bedding in issue. Persevere as it should fix itself 🙂

i think it will be a lot easier/cheaper to repair and paint/wrap as long as you dont snap anything when you detach it 😀

Have an excellent mobile paint guru if you are on the west side of London? may be even worth just getting a quote from him just so you have options?

Gz on the new car!! enjoy 😄
