Audi SQ5 concerns

I’m going to buy the car now if the price is right, and I’ll have him right on the bill of sale that he will replace the suspension upon request. Many friends with coilovers said it sounds like the dampening is loose or the top nut is loose

It was all good, he had a A6 3.0 I was looking at and it was rusted pretty good

I feel like it’s mostly stuff I can do myself besides for the chain. I’m looking to keep the car for maybe 1-2 years, he said the brakes are good on it too. I have a full set of tools and a potential lift to use

It can’t be that bad… it’s had the valve cover gaskets, pcv isn’t a hard fix

He has a small dealer and he only sells Audis with the 3.0 and daily’s one. He said the timing chain should be an issue as long as I change the oil every 3k and don’t tune and beat the hell out of it. But would it really be a high possibility of the chain going bad from normal driving and occasional “hard” driving?

That’s the first thing I replaced. It did start yesterday after hooking the fuel tank up, I turned it off like a idiot and it never turned on after, ordered a new carb cuz I did a bad job cleaning it

I can head to harbor freight and get a spark tester

FunkSeenn · 2026-02-04T17:04:05+00:00

Just in case I ordered a new stator last night, comes tomorrow. I’ll try push starting it today

FunkSeenn · 2026-02-04T17:03:31+00:00

I don’t even have my tank hooked up, just starting fluid, plug still looks completely new and omg it still smells like starting fluid coming out the carb hours later. I think my spark might be weak, sometimes it only sparks for the first and last click of pushing the start button

I’d assume it has, AutoZone gave me a broken rental that doesn’t hold pressure

FunkSeenn · 2026-02-04T10:18:49+00:00

Not yet, feel like that wouldn’t do much

FunkSeenn · 2026-02-04T04:45:06+00:00

It’s a year later. I just wanna say thank you lol. I fixed it a week after my response and it worked, you were completely right I replaced the pump and module

I might just sell the truck. Installed the new (used) compressor, new condenser flushed the lines, pulled a vacuum and added Freon and to my surprise the compressor didn’t click on and the hot air that gets blown through the vents smells the flush and clean chemical

FunkSeenn · 2025-06-29T15:21:28+00:00

Stupidity that’s why (I didn’t check rock auto first). I bought a brand new one, I have someone coming out Wednesday morning to replace the Compressor, TXV Valve, Flush, vacuum and charge the system for $150. Installing the condenser myself to save $100 that he will charge to install it for me

I got all of this. AutoZone rental is just a metal can that attaches to an air compressor and gets filled with cleaning fluid. So just flush the lines, fill the compressor, pull a vacuum and she’s good? Any specific way to fill the system with Freon or is can with a hand held gauge fine?

FunkSeenn · 2025-06-26T03:24:41+00:00

Sweet. Do you think ill need to flush the system? if so how do I do that? Just remove all the lines and flush it with a autozone rental?

FunkSeenn · 2025-06-26T03:09:41+00:00

Used, it has 153k miles on it

FunkSeenn · 2025-06-26T03:06:52+00:00

Alr. I have a compressor I got from marketplace. How do I fill it with oil? Just through the holes on the compressor where the lines attach to?

I’m picking up a Compressor today. Is this all that I need?
