26 Q5. Rear of vehicle gets dusty quick

Washed my suv on Saturday and kept in a garage. Wife used it 3 times to go to the gym on paved roads. Rear roof and hatch glass are dusty while the rest if the vehicle is spotless. Has anyone noticed this? Probably lousy aerodynamics.

HELP: Miscellaneous charge?

Context: so we have a 2022 Audi Q5 with 65k miles. We had a power loss issue twice. The 1st time they replaced something for free and then one month later it happened agBTW. There is no sign or any codes that pop up. They had the car for 3 weeks and then come back saying they dont know what it is but they want to try replacing the engine wiring harness but are not sure if it will work. They are charging 4 grand but potential repairs can range from 6.5 to 8 depending on if it gets fixed or not. Is there any other options or should I just get rid of the car?? Because this is ridiculous for only having the car for 4 years. This is in GA btw.

2022 Q5e replacement keyfob

Hello, I bought a used 2022 q5e and it only came with 1 fob. Called the dealer about getting a second one. They required me to bring the car in before they would even quote me (then tried to upsell me on things it didn't need). Once they finally had my car, they quoted me $1007 for a new key fob. I knew it would be expensive, but not 4 digit expensive.

I've seen other posts for different models ranging from $200-$800, but over $1k is insane. Can others share if they've paid similar prices? This was a quote from a dealer in NJ.

2016 Audi 3.0TFSI ticking noise

I couldn’t record my version of this but here is video online that makes the same noise as mine. It’s been about 6-8 months since it’s making this noise, no power-loss or any other issues I saw it’s just the noise and it’s annoying. Please help.

2018 Q5 Technik 140,000km

About 80% of the time when I stop, it feels like it’s stuttering. Even with the auto/stop start on.

It happens in every driving mode.

Any thoughts?

2020 q5 thoughts?

Looking for some opinions on whether this is a good deal.
2020 Audi Q5 45 Progressiv S-Line/Black Optics, 133k km. (83k miles)
Private sale for $16k CDN. It needs about $2k CAD in repairs (both front axle shafts + rear shocks).

Would you guys consider this a good deal at $16k, or is 133k km too much for a Q5? Anything specific I should be worried about at this mileage?

Auto Start/Stop Malfunction

Going to take it to the dealer to have it checked, but was wondering if any of you had this before, and what I should expect. Other Reddit posts suggest it’s more likely a faulty turbo. Ugh.

Help confirming insert part number for 2025 Q5

Hello. Could anyone help confirm if a 2025 Audi Q5 has a rubber mat/insert here over the wireless charger?

I noticed that it wasn't there after interior detailing, and cant 100% remember if it had one or not.

If there was, is there a way to find the part number so I can order it?

Thanks so much in advance!

Advice on dashcam for 2019 SQ5

Q5 is probably the same. Optimally a dashcam/radar detector? I’d like to use the mirror compass or something that wires up clean. If I were to have to choose, dashcam is highest priority. One with parking mode - my Audi was broken into recently. I see other posts but nothing recent. Any experience would be appreciated.

2026 Model Year Q5

I have a 2025 model year and have had it with issues. Audi went back a computer generation for the 2026 model year and the dealership tells me that these have been perfect. Yeah, it’s a car salesman! Seriously, if you have a 26 model year, can you comment on any issues you have had? I may have the option of a buy back or trade assistance.

2018 Q5 - Shop just informed me that the rear differential needs to be worked on

I took our 2018 (about 68K miles) in for an oil change and I asked told them that I had a concern about chatter on turns at parking lot speeds. Initially they said that I might need a differential fluid flush but they just called me to let me know that the rear diff needs to be repaired and they are quoting 300 dollars. I initially clenched, but the quote for the work isn't horrible. Still, I told them that I'd bring the car back for the work because I need to space out the expense. I don't plan on waiting long to have the work done, but my concern is if waiting potentially is putting strain on other things. Can anyone give me some perspective? The car doesn't get driven a ton to commute daily, it runs to the grocery store maybe three or more times a week and does the school run mostly. We are talking about maybe 100 miles a week? Am I making a mistake to wait a month to do this repair?

EDIT: I got some clarity from them last night when I picked up the car. The 300 dollar service is just a flush and change of fluid on the rear diff. They seem pretty confident from previous experience that this will likely resolve the issue, they say they've seen it before. They also don't recommend I change the fluid on the front or center, their opinion is that it'd be a waste of money at this point.

EDIT part deux: I realized that I had the mileage a bit wrong, the car actually has 74K miles on it. It's not a ton of difference from 68K, but it's worth pointing out that I am officially over 70.

2025 B10 Q5 no A/C

2025 B10 Q5 running KD2 stopped blowing cold air from the A/C today. When the issue happened, the check engine light was on too. The light has since turned off, but the A/C still blows warm. Has anyone encountered this? For such a new car, I doubt the compressor has already failed… my money is on a faulty sensor or a software. Any quick fixes are appreciated, otherwise it’s heading to the shop to join my Q6 which has nearly been there for 3 weeks 🫠

New to me '23 Q5, Chrome Delete Qs

Hey everyone! This is my first Audi ('23 Q5 premium plus s line daytona gray pearl) and i'm ecstatic so far! I specifically looked for a configuration with the more premium wheels as I love the look with the intentions of getting a chrome delete.

My big question is, chrome delete all trim and badges, but

  1. KEEP chrome wheels as is
  2. Powder coat black current wheels
  3. or get new black wheels in general (would love suggestions if so)

Thanks for the help and excited to be part of the fam!

Help me pick: 2024 Q5 PHEV CPO — Premium Plus vs Prestige ($900 difference)

Hey everyone, torn between two 2024 CPO Q5 55 TFSI e options and could use some feedback—especially from anyone with kids or experience with the air suspension.

Option 1: Premium Plus (~$44.5k OTD)

Color: Black / Okapi Brown leather

Packages: Warm Weather Pkg, Black Optic Pkg, 20" wheels w/ All-Seasons

Original MSRP: ~$67.4k

Option 2: Prestige (~$45.4k OTD — +$900 difference)

Color: Glacier White / Black interior

Packages: Prestige Pkg, Sport Plus Pkg, Black Optic Plus

Tires: Summer performance tires

Original MSRP: ~$74.7k

The original MSRP gap was over $7k, so getting a Prestige w/ Sport Plus for $900 more feels like a no-brainer on paper.

My main hesitations:

The Seats & Kids: We have young kids. Sport Plus swaps the full leather for Dinamica suede inserts (and deletes seat ventilation). How is Dinamica to maintain with kids compared to standard leather?

Suspension: How big of a difference does the Adaptive Air Suspension actually make on the heavy PHEV platform over rough roads?

Tires: Prestige comes on summer tires, so I'd need to budget ~$1300 for all-seasons soon.

Which one would you go with? Thanks!
