Steve Q

Has it always been graded out? Or just happened?

Has it been bumped? If it's snapped a bodyshop night be able to plastic weld a bracket?.

Steve and Gareth, pub trivia I believe seatbelt warning won't sound when cars in reverse as it's not a legal requirement to wear a seatbelt when reversing 🤔

Try your battery first. A failing battery can cause all sorts of electrical issues.

Glad you got sorted. If you're needing c5 parts there's a good parts dealer in Peterborough on Facebook. The guys name is julius and he's a top bloke. Had numerous c5 bits from him.

You could try a head unit reset. But I'd suspect there's something stuck or the sensor to indicate there's something stuck has failed. Am I right in thinking the cd player is in the glovebox? If so it might just be easier to source a second hand unit off eBay

Sorry for the delayed reply. Could this be a dpf issue?

Your friend is correct. Start stop is quite intelligent, if the system thinks there a chance the car won't turn back on if it were to stop due to battery strength then it won't run the risk of turning off.

Yep Audi dealers.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 looks a lovely car. 👍

As I say I'd recommend you contact the motoring ombudsman. If you can I'd recommend you try and get it assessed by at least one other Audi dealer that's not under the same franchise as tour current one. Or alternatively an independent ev specialist

Brembo and ebc do I believe and well trusted.

This all depends on spec, engine, gearbox, service history, condition, colour etc. Please post some pics and we'll help where we can 🙂

How old is the battery? I'd definitely look ok at getting this changed if it's more than 5-7 years old. I'd also recommend speaking to an auto electrican

Now that's cool. Never seen the work being done before.

I find the aftermarket ones that are tailored to the car can be just as good.

No probs at all, I find car buying is always a difficult process. Regarding cazoo and similar sites I think they offer to bring the car to you. However I did hear stories of them selling crash damaged cars from a trusted source. I'd always recommend looking at main dealer. When ever I compared them to private companies such as available car etc they were often no cheaper than main dealer prices. Looks a nice car, but recommend you compare it to those offered by main dealer.

Thanks Kev, it's got engine trouble though.

If it's sos fault it could be an issue with the switch. But I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

Was the battery changed after it died? As a failing battery can cause various electrical issues

I'd say save and get the right parts. I know how it feels wanting it finished. I'm starting to prep for my rebuild but itl take me a while as I'm not wanting to compromise on quality.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch. Hope you're pleased with your new purchase. Here's a link if how to turn off the Q5 speed alert. I'm sharing this as the process should be the same to turn it on: https://www.vehiclehistory.com/questions/how-to-turn-off-speed-limit-exceeded-audi-q5-373420 You can purchase OBD11, VCDS for example for coding. But you'll need the advanced version.
