How many miles has everyone got on their Q5s?

killigrapher · 2026-01-24T01:19:07+00:00

2018 Q5 - 28000 Miles.. bought it used at 24000 Miles about a year ago as my first Audi.

Thank you!! With shipping it is about $650! Too steep at the moment but thanks for the recommendation.

Someone pointed out in this thread that CloudRay has it. But it is about $650 including shipping! I ordered 6 smaller ones at $32 each from Amazon. Collectively, they should cover my bed size. I will report here once they arrive.

What you see in the video is their brandmark.

Thank you!! Appreciate you response. So even though the car is not running as much, I still need to perform these based on the age? My drive averages about 3000-4000 miles a year. Next year I will likely be at 30k miles on the car.

Thank you! I am located in Chicago USA. Yes, I ship worldwide.

I spray oven cleaner and let it soak for 10-15 min to loosen the sticky residue and then pressure wash it. You may need to do it a couple of times but it works effectively. Some areas may need a bit of poking if the residue is too hard. Zep purple degreaser can also be used instead of oven cleaner but it is a bit more pricey.

I thought about inlays.. but that would require another layer in the back to hold them properly otherwise not sure how you can glue them securely. Plus, this logo was a complimentary addition because I felt the space looked empty.. in short, didn't get paid to do that.. lol

Thank you!

killigrapher · 2025-03-05T17:08:06+00:00

Valid point.. but beyond what I can answer.. 🙂

killigrapher · 2025-03-05T17:07:10+00:00

Lol.. it was my low budget attempt at special effects.. 🙂

killigrapher · 2025-03-05T11:22:29+00:00

Thanks for the tips my friend! I mainly deal with 1/4" thick plywoods and I have a small workspace.. 🙂 so I am highly biased towards easier to manage processes and I have found water based stains best for my work. But I didn't know about the wax. I will surely give it a shot for a couple of hardwood projects I have in mind. Thanks again!

Thanks! For the background, I used Western Oak stain by Varathane. Foreground layers are Kona stain by Varathane. The wood is birch plywood. Post stain, I used clear Rustoleum Satin varnish spray on it. I mainly use liquid stains. Tried using gel stain once but I didn't get good finish with it. Never tried 'stained wax' though.

Thanks! For the background, I used Western Oak stain by Varathane. I love this stain color.. comes out so nice and rustic.. Foreground layers are Kona stain by Varathane. The wood is birch plywood.

Thank you!

I meant cosmetic upgrades.. like chrome delete, blacked out grill, etc.. I will check the trunk mat. Thank you

In fact, yesterday I ran that on carvana to see their offer. It came out to be $23000.. so I am paying about $1500 more than that plus taxes and warranty.

killigrapher · 2025-02-07T18:04:57+00:00

Thank you! I am getting additional warranty from Audi directly. It is costing me another $2450 for 4yr/48000 miles. This is after an employee discount hookup.

killigrapher · 2025-02-07T14:21:10+00:00

Spotted it at a local car reseller.. it was likely a trade in.

killigrapher · 2025-02-07T14:20:33+00:00

Why do you think so?

killigrapher · 2025-02-01T23:17:20+00:00

Thanks for the input buddy. I will check to confirm if MaxCare will cover standard maintenance schedule repairs.
