SQ5 Exhaust
- Thread starter banchory
- Start date
Mine, on a 2016 diesel SQ5, are: 90mm x 72mm (outside diameter measurement) x 135mm long:
What's the issue with your current tips?
I would like to fit the tips from the SQ5 plus. I'm thinking the actual exhaust will be the same so just a cosmetic difference maybe?

No problem but check here: https://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/audi+q5/aq5/2016-751/2/253-253090/
Interestingly, the TDi system (in the link above) shows 'fixed' tail pipe trims while the petrol version shows them loose, however, when you search for the 'trim' part number (item #16) in the petrol version none is shown...
I've just repainted my RS3 (removable) tailpipes in a matt black (Hycote Matt Black) - ok with a slight sheen:
and for sure if and when the time comes I'll be doing the same with the SQ5
PS: I used an acid etch primer + isolator primer and then the Hycote, job done...
Thanks doing same.No problem but check here: https://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/audi+q5/aq5/2016-751/2/253-253090/

You say the nicest thing Ju, and humbly accepted, thank you
Hope all is well with you and yours
Repainted the SQ5 brake disc hubs and vents yesterday with the 'same' acid etch primer:
Didn't really need re-doing after 12-months or so but I was getting seriously bored...
So bored I polished the wheel bolt heads too...
PS: the Ferodo Eco-Friction Green brake pads are still doing good, 100% recommendation here...
Maybe I should get mine painted but they never really bother me until someone posts a "look at my freshly painted hubs" post lol.
I don't know wether you saw the thread

Mine had seemed to have lost some of its sparkle since I bought it and sounded more like a diesel than I remember.
After reading that thread I took mine apart and wow what a mess.
All cleaned up now and the car is transformed. Back to a smooth sounding big engined car and more responsive.
May be another thing for you to polish when you get bored haha

Missed that one, Ju, interesting, very interesting. I've had a quick look and not that Karl (desertstorm) has commented, Karl lives close by. I drove Karl's car a few years back and was seriously impressed! Our SQ5 remains 'sweet' however with zero issues (it does get lots of exercise
) but for sure I'll be taking a look see - but not this next week as it's a multi hospital visit/appointment/chemo-treatment week.
Best wishes and I still hope things are moving in the right direction

Here's a photo showing the SQ5 TDI exhaust tips tack-welded in situ:
Could be a pain to change over...

Interesting, I never even thought they would be welded on. I just thought they'd be push clipped on as the S3 were!
Same as our TT, Ju, the blighters are welded in situ - another PLUS for the 8P RS3, lol...
Yeah I popped all 4 of the S3 ones off and gave them a good clean, thought the SQ5 would be the same.
Good job they don't get dirty then!
Looks like I'm not bothering with some plus tips now though

For sure easier to paint than swap over!
Stay SAFE, hope you and yours (H) and the job are all doing OK...
