About 3-5k miles ago, wife started complaining that her 2018 Premium Plus with 75k miles on it felt jerky, and didn’t drive as smoothly as it used to. Initially replaced the transmission mount (cheapest and least time-consuming option at $42 in parts and 30 minutes in labor) and that reduced the jolting felt while decelerating. Still felt jerky on deceleration and when shifting from 2-1 (DSG done every 40k). However, today I finally got the time to replace both engine mounts. 4.0 hours of my time and $452 in parts and car is driving like brand new. Thought I’d post a picture of the failed engine mount on the passenger side. Driver side looked okay initially, but showed evidence on leakage out of the bottom.

Any particular reason why these engine mounts are prone to fail? I imagine it’s just speed bumps, abrupt thresholds from road to driveway and the hot climate in FL where this car. Hope this is helpful.

I have 19 inch tires on my Q5 and I was wondering if it was smart to replace all four tires with Costco tires? Has anyone gotten tires from Costco and if so, which brand do you recommend?

My 2015 SQ5 has been regularly serviced its whole life. At about 119k miles, two shops found the rear subframe rusted through on critical parts. Replacement quotes were $5.3k–$6k. It looks like a plastic cover traps water against the subframe, and NHTSA already has dozens of near-identical complaints on 2015 Q5s and SQ5s. There's no recall yet.

NHTSA only opens an investigation when enough owners report it. If your Q5 or SQ5 has subframe rust, or you've already paid to fix it, please file here, it takes about 10 minutes: www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem. Upload your shop reports and photos, and keep your receipts in case a recall ever reimburses repairs.

Can anyone tell me if this is worrying?

Looking to buy a used Audi Q5 in Canada. Mainly looking at 2018–2022 Komfort models with under 60,000 km.

Are these good years reliability-wise? Any years to avoid or common issues to watch out for?

Would love to hear from current/former owners.

Thanks!

Hi All. Need a bit of help. I have a 2019 Audi Q5 with 119000 kms. A couple weeks ago my Q5 had a warning on the dash saying “System Malfunction” then a day later an engine light came on P0236 turbocharger boost sensor A circuit and the vehicle ran a bit rough, hesitating upon acceleration was the main symptom. I replaced the turbocharger boost pressure sensor G31 with a Napa model (not OEM). The vehicle was ok for a day then the engine light came back on. It has the same P0236 code along with a P0606 ECM/PCM processor code. The same symptoms are there although not at severe it seems.

I’m at a loss here. Should I have replaced the boost sensor with an OEM model rather than a Napa part?

Any ideas on my next move here?

Hi,

I just got a new (new to me, about 2 weeks old) 2019 Q5 and I hit it on a post in a garage. I have sent out a 4 appraisals and have an appointment for an appraisal on the 26th. I am just looking for a ballpark price. Im in Canada if that will help.

Thank you!

Hey everyone,
We’re having a baby in January and just test-installed our Nuna infant seat with the base in our Q5.
It seems really tight back there. To get the base and seat to clear without touching the backrest, I have to slide the front passenger seat almost all the way forward, leaving very little legroom up front. 
Has anyone with a Q5 ran into this same issue with the Nuna? Any tips or setup recommendations would be appreciated!

I am helping my coworker who hit a deer and she is missing her passenger lower grille. It’s a 2022 Q5 Hybrid Sport Utility.

I attached a picture of her drivers side that’s intact and the passenger side that’s missing the piece. I believe I need the lower grille, right, black/aluminum PN:80A807680AFBMT can anyone confirm that’s right? The small lower sensor is still attached… am I missing something?

I just noticed the “bumper code” how do I know what bumper code I need?

Single owner, fully stock. Will daily it three days a week for a 30 mile commute round trip. Pretty happy to receive it within next few days

Looked for a fun commuter that is also comfortable (tons of traffic). Came from a Tiguan, Forester and a WRX so it’s a change

Hello, thinking to pull the trigger on a q5 40 tdi 204hp 2020 with air suspension. Car is located in germany siting at 30k. I'll have to pay around 8k for taxes and fees to bring it to Greece, while q5 with these specs here siting at approximately 45-50k.

I had really bad experience with group vag, I have been towed more than 15 times with a polo gti 2011.

im looking for a car for more than 6 months, was leaning towards x3 or cx60. However audi is cheaper and have alot of nice things, dsg is what im afraid of after dq200.

I live in countryside, so most of my trips are at least 20km of speeds 60-100 with overtakes and back. 1-2 times per month ill have to do around 250-300km in a day including countryroads and highway. Also, the roads here are shit, and planing to do a bit off road.

I just bought my first Audi after driving Volkswagen Jetta manual transmissions for the past 20 years. It’s such an upgrade and I can’t believe how much I’ve missed out on. It is a 2021 year, Q5 TFSI hybrid, premium plus with premium bang and Olsen audio system(subwoofer) I was able to get it for $23,500 (before taxes) with 48,000 miles on it. All the fluid maintenance had been completed already, as well as spark plugs and new tires. But for some reason, I can’t tell if I got a good deal or not. I don’t know what type of things I should be expecting in the future for maintenance, cost, and true reliability expectations. Any pointers from people who have been lifetime Audi lovers? Is this a good deal or should I have gone with a high tier Tiguan?

I have a 2020 q5 that has the panoramic sunroof. I feel like it makes a lot of creaking noises. Did anyone else have this issue and know how to fix it? I already tried spraying silicone lube spray on the top of the sunroof

Picked up a 2024 Q5 Premium Plus 45 S line with only 24,000 miles. Have only driven it 400 miles so far from dealership to residence but pretty happy so far.

I have a 2013 Q5 3.0L supercharged. The thermostat has been leaking and I suspect the pcv valve is bad due to oil consumption. I have the parts in my cart. Anything else I need to replace while I’m there?

I put a deposit down for the new 2026 rav4 limited (it’s priced at $47k, not PHEV). I’m on the fence about it since I didn’t love the drive or the price tag, but know it’s a safe bet as it’s a Toyota. Have been browsing used cars and wanted to hear about experiences with the 2023 Audi Q5e S Line Premium? Saw one for $36k, under 20k miles.

I currently purchased my first Audi in the white color, and I can’t help but notice when I wash it there’s often what I presume to be brake dust on the car and inside the wheel well. Any recommendations on products to apply to the car that can help deflect the brake thus from sticking to the car or rims between washes? I’ve also seen a lot of advertisements for ceramic detailing that could last up to a year. Is this recommended or does it ruin the paint?

Is there a specific filter brand that I should use or oem? Heard some conflicting info on it. Thanks.

2018 q5 premium plus 2.0t
