audi q3 auto lights issue
Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch ๐ I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Are the auto lights working properly when driving?

Thinking of buying an Audi Q5

Well if you have a code reader it might show fault codes. But clearly an Audi job.

AUDI A5 S LINE 35 TDI - Auto Hold Dis-engaging
It'll need a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. It could just be a wheel sensor but but usually/in theory there'd be a hold function disabled or similar warning if the car had picked up a problem. see what Edinburgh Audi says. Keep us posted on how you get on.
