Lovely collection of cars 👌 think I too would have a car collection if I lived on a farm.

Oxygen sensor sounds a good guess. Might be worth having a diagnostic check carried out to see what fault codes flag up. Cheers Steve

Hi Mark, my advice would be to get a diagnostic check carried out. Is the engine running rough or any warning lights on the dash? Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Bruce, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Cheers Steve

You might find it hasn't got one it all depends on what radio you have a think.

So glad you got this sorted Steve. Ironically it's often the trim that causes the most headaches. Often doesn't want to go back on. Cheers Steve

Thanks for that Ray, will be useful for various members I think 🙂

Does sounds like you're another victim of this. You can try your luck at seeing if Audi will cover any of it under warranty but doubtful as the car is 11 years old and not full service history. My advice would be to bite the bullet and get it fixed. But be warned, it's not cheap. Cheers Steve

She'll definitely be a future classic. I'd do her up as you've got so much history with it. But again I'm biased as that's what I've done with my c5 as my dad bought it new. I'm sure you could find a performance cat cheaper from companies like demon tweeks. Cheers Steve

You're welcome 🙂

Another great video. 👍

An upgraded amp would finish off your new system I think 👍

Good guide that 👍

Could be a temp sensor or the valves in the ac. I'd get a diagnostic check carried out to see if there are any fault codes. Cheers Steve

How odd, I therefore stand corrected. Yes I'd say there's an issue. Might be worth getting ban auto electrician to take a look. Cheers Steve

I'd get it to the garage you bought it from asap as you have 30 days! Think the antenna for the sat nav and tuner is the same but I thought they worked independently,

You're welcome John, glad you got sorted 🙂

Well we know it's an engine seizure 😉

This is fantastic info, great work. Sure will help fellow owners 👍 Cheers Steve

Well depending on what kind of driving you do should help you decide whether to go for a diesel or petrol. Diesel better for motorway commutes. Petrol better for short journeys. It's all in the service history. Ideally should be full and make sure csmbelts/water pumps have been replaced on time. Make sure everything works on the car as parts can be expensive this includes the ac. Make sure the gears are smooth as clutches aren't cheap. Same for automatics. This YouTube video should help: Cheers Steve

I'd replace it and see if that resolved the issue to be honest. Cheers Steve

Al very similar to be honest. Take a look at the forums car detailing section for more info 👍

Welcome to the forum, glad you're pleased with your Q5 🙂 keep us posted on how you get on with the investigation. Cheers Steve

I do t believe it does. Was it a genuine Audi center? Cheers Steve
