[razza1]

So been away from audi after 6 years lost my S4 gearbox woes. And back into the fold with this beauty arriving Tuesday:

Question, has anyone got a black SQ5 with the all round maxton kit on it? I’m thinking that plus black badges…

Welcome back, @razza1 , and great choice on an SQ5 in black. By coincidence, I have very recently done the same, albeit an FY-platform petrol version. Still getting used to it from the S4, but loving it.

The roads are too crap round my village for the jag and fed up of getting moaned at by the wife for an uncomfortable ride. Test drive an SQ5 locally and loved it, can’t wait!!

I got one with maxton kit all around. Not black but blue

Nice, how did you attach it, as it shows to attach with bolts and nuts to the bumper, but for that to happen I guess it’s a bumper off job?

I’ve had splitters before with 3m tape and self tappers…but not sure especially on the mark 1 version of it will be suffice. Maxton just told me to take it to a body shop…

These comes pre installed on car but I did installation on my previous car. It's easier if you can access the ramp, I installed it with drilling holes in bumper and fit it with bolts. No bumper removal was required.

Think I might need to get the car Tuesday and look, as can’t get my head around how you use bolts, as assuming you’d need nuts in the inside of the bumper to screw the bolts into?

Yeah that's the way to do it.

Guess it’s an undertray job off then to get to back of the bumper. I’ve removed the bumper before my S4 to put the rs4 grill on, was just trying to figure out and try and order the kit ahead of delivery of car on Tuesday. As can then fit it whilst the wife is in the office… “oh no, that’s how the car came as standard when I bought it” lol

…”oh no, that’s how the car came as standard when I bought it” lol

I’ve done that a few times….

 

[razza1]

So full kit (except roof spoiler, as that seems to point upwards too much for me) ordered…roll on Tuesday

Welcome back @razza1. Enjoy the new car.

I’m like an excited child at Xmas, hope they drive quickly…

Yes, but warm the engine up fully first!

It’s coming on a flatbed

This thing is rapid…quicker than the jag for sure…was gutted not being able to tune it due to warranty but don’t think I need to

Black rings on the front…any idea how to get that SQ5 badge off to change for a black one?

Hi Audi forum, I note everyone describes a chip shortage. It should be noted that the shortage of chips to Audi and the VW group was due to their revised sales forecast due to Covid and the subsequent chip order reduction. These spare chips were absorbed into other markets. Now, with orders looking strong they don’t have enough. It’s their fault and they are now looking at it as a margin optimisation opportunity by deleting std safety options etc and only refunding marginal costs. However, if you purchased a based model and up spec’d something like matrix headlights you would have to pay full retail plus tax. Call them out on this.

Nice car and much prefer those alloys to the ones fitted to the latest cars (including mine which has now been built and due in 5 weeks or thereabouts).

That bad boy (and skirts all round) will go on when the wife is in the office next and I can take some time off…

Only issue with these ride does feel a bit harsh, I test drive one with 20’s on and was much more compliant than these 21’s. It’s better than the low profile on the jag and doesn’t crash the car when hitting a drain for example, but worried the missus will still think it’s too bashy. She shouldn’t complain of leg space in the front now however…so that’s two out of three requests resolved I guess…

Already booked in with audi as well, annoyingly the rear driver side door speaker doesn’t work, only noticed as I’d scanned the car with Carista to activate a few things and it popped up. Goes to show audi either don’t scan the cars when selling or they couldn’t be ***** to fix it.

In with reading audi in a couple of weeks, who apparently don’t even do courtesy cars anymore so I’ll need to work out the showroom for the day…very annoying…
