Just after hitting 1000 miles on 2023 Q5 2.0T, I started noticing a turbo spooling hiss noise on acceleration and a whoosh noise when letting off the gas. It's irritating and gets louder as the engine or outdoor temperature heats up. Dealer consults with Audi, who says they are familiar with the issue but aren't going to do anything about it because the noise is a natural byproduct of turbo operation. I would never have taken delivery of the vehicle if this problem was evident during test drive. Anyone else experiencing this ..read more

Hello, recently bought a 2024 Q5. One thing I noticed, and it annoys me, that when starting car and MMI is initiated , the Home button/screen is blank or not working. Dealership recommends to push power button for 15 secs to reset, sometimes a 2nd reset is needed. Does anyone else experiences this issue/bug ..read more

Hi Everyone - my fiance cracked the screen of the climate control module in our Q5 7 days before our lease is up for return. Audi quoted me $2600 to repair it. I found the part online for $150 and was hoping to fix it myself. I've worked on cars at a hobby level for my entire life but hoping someone could offer some shortcuts on how to replace this thing. Thanks in advance ..read more

I found this TSB which shows a different coolants for 2018 models from newer ones. The model year 2019 and newer vehicles use - G12evo part number: Ready to use G -12E-050-1G-DSP. Only G12evo can be used in the Audi e-tron. The model year 2018 and older vehicles use - G13 part number: Ready to use G-A13-774-1G-DSP. Is this REALLY saying to use G13 and not G12Evo for 2018 Audis? Finding any Audi coolant is hard enough. What do you use and if you had a 2018, which one to buy and where? ECS Tuning has G12Evo. I'd have to get G13 from Audiusa. I know that G12Evo is newer and **should** be backw ..read more

Hello! My rear taillight went out on my Q5 and I am having trouble removing the light from the trunk hatch. I have looked all over for a video or schematic on how to remove the taillight but have been unable to. If anyone has any documentation or tips it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks ..read more

I purchased some touch-up paint for my '23 SQ5 and based on the VIN they gave me what is called "Foil SIlver" (code ending in Z7G). However when I purchased the vehicle the exterior color was called "Florett Silver". I've never thought the touch-up paint matched very well at all and wonder why the touch-up paint is called "Foil Silver" and if that' even the correct paint. When I look at touch-up paint on TouchUpDirect it's called "Florett Silver". but it's not identified by the VIN ..read more

I filled via extraction my SQ5 with oil before leaving for 5 months. On return, drove for a tankful - only very short drives. I noticed a puddle under my car this weekend. I'm 1/2 way down on the MMI between the two marks - so presuming a 1/2 quart or 1/2 liter. I drove home and parked. There was no oil under the car the next morning. Questions: 1) Based on the image below, is this a cracked oil filter housing? Do I need the whole assembly replaced? Other advice? Engine Oil Filter Housing part number 06M115401L is from audiusa.com. FCPEuro has two versions: One with just the housing and anoth ..read more

For the first time ever a small little traffic light appears near the outside temp reading on the dash screen with a countdown timer. My 2020 I don’t believe had this feature and it was an option I thought but I think what I saw was a feature that determined when the next light would change. This car has been driven extensively in Ohio, Kentucky, PA, TN and over the last 4 years this is the only time this popped on the dash. Anyone familiar ..read more
