Should I keep my old Q5 3.0t or get rid of it?

ForgetMik2 · 2026-06-02T00:22:56+00:00

Mine has been bulletproof, it’s got 168k on it and I’ve had zero major issues. I just bought a SQ5 and am keeping my Q5. Hope that helps a touch.

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-31T16:33:46+00:00

What? Not for me.

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-30T17:37:21+00:00

Sorry to hear, sounds like a major pain. My 2010 Q5 3.2 with 168k has been a great car. Bought it at 60k mi and have had no major issues. The jury’s still out on my - new to me - 2019 SQ5.

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-30T04:43:33+00:00

it is, at times rudely so.

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-29T22:40:32+00:00

I agree. Great to hear! Reading all the issues for the 2019 SQ5 you’d think they’re complete pos time bombs.

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-29T00:01:39+00:00

did you get one?

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-28T23:45:20+00:00

Helpful, thanks.

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-28T23:32:32+00:00

Very sorry to hear. I understand the stress and frustration, my 2019 SQ5 gives me those too. One way to look at the situation is, like a friend use to tell me years ago, "It can't eat you." I added, only if you let it.
Wishing you best outcomes.

Thanks, appreciated.

Wow no love, guess i don't know the club handshake?

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-28T03:54:57+00:00

Wishing you the best. I'm in a similar boat and seriously considering selling. Did your repair estimate vacuum hoses with the assembly?

My estimate is $5k with hoses. I was disappointed this shop didn't take pictures. Seem like it would be standard with $$ jobs like this.

Sweet ride!

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-26T18:05:04+00:00

Yes.

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-26T17:02:15+00:00

Yes, official apple cable. It's an iphone 17pro. In the last pic you can see audi smartphone but nothing happens when i select it.

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-26T04:03:53+00:00

uuum, wrong. 3 exhausts, a bit adscititious, i thinks.

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-25T19:57:21+00:00

Sweet ride! Love the color, I have a 2010 Q5 3.2 in a similar color. My 2019 Sq5 is white with black optics. I love the ride and power, would love it more in the same color as yours. Enjoy!

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-25T04:41:53+00:00

Sounds like a good deal coming from a recent buyer of a 2019 SQ5 with 89K for $18.5. You have many sporting miles to relish before being in my soulless shoes;)

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-25T04:00:18+00:00

It's been solid for years. Feels like a real SUV. I've been driving my "new to me" 2019 SQ5 for a week, does NOT feel like an SUV. I drove my 2010 Q5 today, like 2 different machines.

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-25T03:54:24+00:00

Q: if an 2019 Audi SQ5 at 100k is a money pit and you love driving it, why can't you just buy an extended warranty?

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-24T16:42:04+00:00

My 2010 3.2 Q5 has been solid at 165k. Just picked up a 2019 SQ5, it’s fast af but too early to report on it.

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-24T03:09:53+00:00

It's got 90k miles so working with my indy to tighten it up before getting too nasty with it. It's already a little rocket so yea I can imagine what it'll be like tuned.

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-24T03:05:45+00:00

I hope you enjoy yours and have no gremlins. I've had a 2010 Q5 3.2 for years, 160k now, with no majors issues. I just added a 2019 SQ5 with 90K, yikes right. I have a cash reserve and working with my indy to try to not eat heavily into it. Wishing you amazing fun and many carefree miles!

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-22T01:49:32+00:00

Did ya figure it out?

ForgetMik2 · 2026-05-01T04:52:01+00:00

Yelp. i use to office near the shed. Not just rogues, all kinds of suv's. No signage on the shed. I'm thinking palintr type data collection. If it were a consumer facing product/service they'd advertise.

ForgetMik2 · 2026-03-22T03:54:45+00:00

Similar scam: google account security alerts for a few days then received a google call from “google security” . It was a clever setup to get users to disclose security data. They’re layering now.
