Hi Magnet. Yes - that's right After the all in one policy I had for two years, following the original two year warranty ran out, I've now taken out a 2 year service plan . Compared the cost of that with a local 4x4 garage , partners used for some time for a 4x4. . Main Audi came in cheaper. Nothing in it and I get to borrow a car for the day. Local garage don't offer that. 44000 mileage to date on my Audi and I now only do 3000 a year.

Thank you cliffcoggin. Lots to read on that forum. I have read about the warnings on other forums which lead me to buying a sensor and having a go myself. The company I bought from: "partsforgermancars" has been mentioned here a few times. Perhaps the switch is faulty but we have no way of finding out.

It's only just (3 weeks ago) had a service and MOT. Nothing picked up then. I'll see what happens on Tuesday. Diagnostic is going to cost £150 before anything else. No choice really now than to go ahead with this. Many thanks Steve Q

Hi. I bought my Q5 petrol four years ago. It's now 8 years old. No more warranty. Only problems have been the usual: brake pads ... Love the car. Drives a dream. AUDI garage have been good but I'm now worried with no more warranty, this car could start to cost me £££££s if a major repair needed.

I've put a new sensor on and problem still there. How serious could this be? It's now booked into my Audi garage for a diagnostic.
