Just to add - complete guesses as haven't heard your noise, but may help research into the problem. Suprised the mechanic doesn't know where to start??
Just from previous experience the injectors work harder under under load - so the more fuel required to drive the engine the more they have to work to pump it in.
I'm sure I've seen on one of the ODB apps (maybe VCDS?) you can look at injector cycles and pressure for individual units - someone...
Possible noisy or blocked injector? - mine sounds a bit rattly when accelerating under load (eg: in 6th and giving a bit more gas up a slope), but put this down to the general diesel noise as they aren't the most refined engines.
Well, i've spent the last few days obsessively trawling forums for info on this and it seems the Koni Yellows with the H&R springs (sport kit), is the best option for close to stock (or better) ride quality - with the option to stiffen them up if needed. The Bilstein kit gets better overall...
Hi All,
Decided to do a complete refresh of the suspension as I have to replace control arms and top mounts on my Q5 - i'm looking at either the bilstein b12 pro kit or the Koni Sport kit.
Does anyone have any experience of the two? especially if its on a Q5 - I don't want anything too crashy...
So, just had my annual service and its been pointed out a couple of my control arms are perished and both top mounts are badly worn - the cars on 79k, is it worth replacing the shocks as well while its all out? or are they good for another chunk of mileage?
Also, anyone recommend the control arm...
Hi, Does anyone know if the standard SQ5 ARB's are thicker than the 2.0tdi versions? just wondering if it could be a cost effective upgrade for models that don't quite have the SQ5 power punch! :grinning:
