Yeah they are only 10 months old, you might think I own the car I’ve got new callipers, discs and pads on order, if the pad is in constant contact with the discs and it’s wrapped, it will cause a judder even when not braking as the pad is in constant contact the disc if its not able to fully...

Trying to pin point an annoying judder/vibration at high speed. Noticed this on the rear caliper. Discs and pads are only 10 months old.

Replaced the discs and pads all round less than 11 months ago and only done about 7k miles the rears look terrible. (Eicher discs and pads). Is it normal on the Q5’s for the rear breaks to be used more and wear quicker? I don’t do a lot of heavy braking. On the break judder scale 0-10 it’s...

Anyone know of anywhere that does it North Wales/Chester area?

Can anyone confirm if you can replace just the indicator stalk on a 2013 Q5 or does the whole uint including cruse control and wiper stalk need to be replaced? Getting the issue where if you indicate to the right it switches on the left, apparently bad contacts in the stalk which looks a pain...

Had my 2013 Q5 for a month now and there is a odd scrapping sound which you can feel in the steering wheel when turning the whee at at low speeds such as parking, no issues actually driving. At first thought it was the clock spring so tested that with another and it was the same. I’ve got a...

Anyone fitted these? Seems most sets online say they wont fit the s line model for some reason?

My brother cracked his rear light on his 11 plate A3 so we replaced it, all the bulbs work fine but the error on the dash wont clear, I’ve used vcds to clear it but it always comes back, any ideas how can I clear it? Thanks

EML came on and a quick scan came up with P0121 and it looks like its the throttle body, I guess full of carbon, can I just take it off and clean?

Anyone got a working guide? Mate got a new stock replacement radio but needs to enable the aux option.

Yes the car that started it was the root cause but technically it was the car next to me that caused my car to catch on fire, we have had to claim on our own insurance as we could be waiting weeks for a end result of who's to blame, but if we do get a end person that we can claim off we can...

We were parked on the 6th level, and it was starting as we were walking out of the car park, I don't understand how the car park staff didn't contain the fire.

Yes :/ well so far its been a bumpy ride with the insurance

Anyone else parked there on new year's eve?

Right there is definitely something wrong, when I first fill up computer says 210 miles, then after about 10 miles of driving it ends up at around 165, but true result i get 135 with £20 which works out at 37mpg! Total rubbish, what can I check?
