  1. If you want to investigate further you first have to work out which MMI you have - probably 3G+ with a hard drive e (HDD).

    Have a look at this website 

    https://mca.electricmura.ro/en/blog-audi-mmi-mib-models/

    It has a really good summary of the options and how to identify your kit. 

    You can then Google "your mmi model" map update and see what comes back. 

    If you're lucky there may be versions of maps available to download onto an SD card and you can do it yourself. 

    Either way - Waze is a better sat nav option although the maps look a bit boring!

    How much is it normal to pay for insurance? I don't want to overpay anything...

    In simple terms you will pay more than you thought and get less than you expected! 

     

    There is no normal so the simplest thing to do is to register with confused.com or moneysupermarket or one of the others - put in all your details and see what comes back. 

    That will let you see the range if costs along with potential benefits such as hire cars, AA insurance, reduced excess, etc. 

    Normally the websites offer you some sort of incentive to buy through them. 

    If you are registered with them then your renewal process becomes very easy.

    Yeah, I've driven a Stop/Start before, but this car doesn't have it, the engine is definitely still running at a stop.  It does actually feel a little bit like Stop/Start but with a very slight lurch forward. 

    The dealer does seem to want to help, but it is a bit worrying that they claim to have done all this work and the problem is still there.  

    I think if the dealer can't get to the bottom of the issue before my 30 days, I think it'll go back.

     

     

     

    OK - sorry I thought that a 2010 Q5 would have s/s 👍 

    I would still have to say that you will only get to 1st gear when driving off and when coming to a stop so maybe the gearbox isn't the problem. 

    When it is getting down to idling revs maybe it's struggling because of timing or something similar - has it had a scan? 

    Sorry I'm not being much help but the issue sounds strange to me - if you like the car then see what the dealer can do but be prepared to walk away 👍 

  4. Is the issue maybe with the start/stop?

    The only time that you are likely to go from 2nd to 1st is when you are coming to a complete stop. There normally is a judder type feeling when the engine is cut off by the system. 

    I'm guessing you've had a car with start/stop before? 

    Is you disable auto start/stop do you still get the judder? 

     

    Besides that 2 mechatrtonic replacements and a clutch sounds like the dealer either knows more than they are letting on of they just don't know. 

  5. So after a bit more experience it is definitely using engine braking - so it should be "economical" 

    As an offshoot it also helps on cruise control when you are decelerating. 

    Going from the 70mph (ish) setting to 50/55 for roadworks on the m6 (they're working overnight apparently) just by dropping the CC in 5 mph decrement it uses engine braking to get your speed down rapidly - for me it's a very useful feature 👍
