The German crossover Audi Q5 is very popular in Russia, and it cannot be called male or female - you can see representatives of both sexes driving a car.

There are different opinions about the reliability of the car - someone drives and is happy with the purchased vehicle, some believe that breakdowns in the Audi Q5 are quite common.

It is difficult to say who is right in his statement, it is possible that the durability of the machine depends on the configuration - the engine installed, the type of transmission.

For the first time, the new Audi Q5 was presented to the public in November 2008, the premiere of the model took place in China, at the Beijing Motor Show.

The main competitors of the crossover are Mercedes-Benz GLK and BMW X3, but it is difficult to confuse "Ku 5" on the road with some other car brand - the car is easily recognizable from afar by its branded radiator grille and original rectangular headlights.

Restyling Audi Q5

In 2013, the car underwent restyling, the main changes were made to the interior - chrome elements were added to the cabin.

Also, in a restyled version, the chassis was modernized:

• instead of hydraulic, electromechanical power steering was used;
• improved suspension springs and shock absorbers;
• a new 3.0 liter V6 power unit has appeared in the engine range.

In the front optics of the updated car, LED lights were added, and their shape was changed. The geometry of both bumpers has changed a little more, the radiator grille in its lower part has become wider and more powerful.

Engine problems

The most common engine on the Audi Q5 is a two-liter gasoline TFSI with 211 horsepower in a pre-styling version and 225 hp. from. in the post-styling version.

Even on the car from 2009 to 2012, a 3.2 FSI 270 hp engine was installed. with., but cars with this power unit in Russia are quite rare - no one wants to pay a large transport tax.

The Audi Q5 2.0 TFSI engine on cars manufactured before 2011 is not very reliable, the weak point of the engine is the piston group.

Often on these engines there is an increased oil consumption, it can manifest itself already at a run of 50-70 thousand km.

Also on this ICE, other problems are noted:

• failure of the ignition coils;
• breakdown of the intake manifold;
• chain jumping and valve timing violation;
• malfunctions in the electric petrol pump control unit.

Failures in the timing chain drive occur due to the failure of the hydraulic tensioner, and if the chain jumps to a large number of links, the valves may bend, as a result, a rather serious repair will be necessary.

The 3.2l FSI engine practically does not have any characteristic "diseases", its only major drawback is its high fuel consumption.

Audi Q5 diesel is presented in two versions, power units are installed on the crossover:

1. 2.0 TDI - in-line "four" 170 horsepower (in the post-styled version 177 hp);
2. 3.0 TDI - V-shaped six-cylinder diesel engine 240 hp. from. (245 l. From.).

Diesels are quite reliable, they fail infrequently, their main drawback is poor start-up at low temperatures, but the internal combustion engine is difficult to start, mainly due to the poor quality of diesel fuel.

Another main problem of all Audi Ku 5 engines is the leakage of antifreeze through the control hole of the water pump, the pump rarely nurses more than 100 thousand km.

Transmission

In total, the crossover has three types of transmission:

1. 6-speed manual transmission;
2. 7-st. robotic gearbox S-Tronic;
3. Six-speed automatic transmission made by ZF (Tiptronic) on a pre-styling car;
4. Eight-speed automatic transmission (after restyling).

A six-speed manual transmission is paired with a two-liter diesel engine, a seven-speed manual transmission is supplied with a 3.0 liter diesel engine and a 2.0 liter TFSI petrol engine.

A six-speed "automatic" was installed until 2012 on cars with a 3.2 l FSI engine, and was also used on cars produced for the North American market.

The S-Tronic caused a lot of trouble for car owners, and after restyling it remained only on cars with diesel engines.

Paired with gasoline power units since 2013 went 8-st. Automatic transmission Audi Q5, this transmission, like the 6-speed "automatic", turned out to be quite reliable, car owners have few complaints about ZF automatic transmissions.

S-Tronic most often breaks down when operating a car in urban conditions, especially often breaks down when the car is constantly moving in traffic jams.

The main malfunctions of the robotic gearbox:

• failure of mechatronics;
• breakage of clutch parts;
• oil leak from the gearbox;
• incorrect operation of the control unit.

On many cars, the manual transmission requires repair at a run of up to 100 thousand km, but if the car is mainly operated on suburban roads, the gearbox "lives" on average twice as long.

Electrician

A lot of electronics are installed in the Audi Q5, but it is she who periodically gives various failures.

So, for example, when the ignition is turned on, music may spontaneously play, while the car is moving, the Check Engine lamp will light up, and the central locking will suddenly refuse to work.

The owners of the Audi Q5 also complain about the rotting of the electrical wiring under the driver's seat, for this reason, the rear window wiper may spontaneously work, and the position of the chair (the driver's seat with an electric drive) may change.

Chassis

The front and rear suspension on the Audi Q5 is multi-link; there are also crossovers equipped with pneumatics.

The chassis on the car "lives" for a long time, usually suspension repair is required after 100 thousand kilometers.

The first to fail are the wheel bearings and the lower ball bearings; the power steering, which was installed on the car until 2012, is not very reliable.

The braking system does not cause big complaints from car owners, but still the brakes on the "Q 5" are not as effective as on BMW crossovers.

Body and optics

The body iron of the German crossover is strong enough, it resists corrosion well.

The paintwork is not very good, but the paint coat is thicker and better than on many Japanese cars.

Some car owners complain that the windshield quickly scratches on the "Ku 5", while the car is operated with care.

It is no secret that car companies and their dealers make money mainly from the maintenance of their cars. Therefore, it is profitable for firms that their cars are visited by the company service as often as possible. However, in the case of the Ingolstadt company, they clearly overdid it - the compact crossover of the eminent brand does not just regularly call in technical centers with various kinds of breakdowns - it practically registered there. Moreover, the owners of cars 2008 - 2017 complain mainly about such vital components as the engine and gearbox.

Gasoline engines - mainly two-liter "turbo-fours", modifications with which accounted for the lion's share of Q5 sales - suffered from an increased appetite for. Its consumption turned out to be so high that the owners of the first cars were forced to carry with them not standard liter, but four- or five-liter canisters with operating fluid. According to servicemen, during operation, oil consumption is allowed up to 300 grams per 1000 km of run. It turns out that for the interservice mileage it has to be topped up about 4.5 liters - just a large canister. It will be too much. And in fact, the motors could "eat" it in much larger volumes - up to 500 grams and more. When the avalanche of claims exceeded all possible limits, the officials began to massively repair and even change the engines under warranty. Therefore, when buying a used Audi Q5 2.0 TFSI, ask your dealer if the engine has been overhauled or replaced by an authorized dealer. Otherwise, look for another option or bargain for at least 100,000 rubles. Approximately the amount of the engine will pour out.

True, they worked on the mistakes - they changed the design of the oil scraper and compression rings, as well as the pistons. Therefore, on the post-styling Q5 petrol "turbo-fours" noticeably curbed the oil appetite. Although on modernized engines, oil is gradually consumed for waste, but not in those colossal quantities as before. By the way, three-liter “sixes” are more attractive in this regard - they certainly do not suffer from increased oil appetite.

But turbodiesel units have proven themselves on the positive side. Usually, only after 150,000-180,000 km of run, you need to pay attention to the injection pump and oil drips. By this time, you will have to change the glow plugs (6,500 rubles each), as well as diagnose the injection nozzles. The second stumbling block for Audi Q5 owners was the S-Tronic robotic transmission. It's the infamous seven-speed dual-clutch transmission similar to Volkswagen's DSG.

Moreover, the box could kick up both 80,000-100,000 km and a very modest mileage of about 20,000-40,000 km. We must pay tribute to the official dealers - the VAG concern usually compromised and even repaired the transmission for free under warranty. And after the end of its term, in some cases, he took upon himself the cost of work (half or completely) to replace the mechatronics unit and the clutch assembly. And this is a lot of money - with all the pies and consumables, the repair of the box cost up to 250,000 rubles from the dealer! What measures the officials did not go to in order to increase the resource of the unit - the software of the control unit was regularly updated, and for Russia they introduced a mandatory oil change every 30,000 km. But the Germans did not come up with anything better how to install an eight-stage hydromechanical production ZF on restyled cars for our market.

By the way, about restyling. It would seem that he made the Audi Q5 quite reliable. But no. Even on fresh copies on two-liter engines, the timing chain is pulled out, the engine mounts wear out ahead of time, the oxygen sensors and ignition coils "burn", the EGR valve fails. It is not so easy to control the oil level - there is no dipstick in the engine, the information is stored in the MMI. The sensor may fail after each topping up and may not show the real level ...

There are no big "ambushes", but those who like to drive over bumps will have to regularly call in the service to replace the levers and their silent blocks, wheel bearings and ball bearings. In the steering, the rack was often changed (from 45,000 rubles) under warranty. Frequent complaints were about the weak cross-piece of the steering shaft - it changes in collection for 11,000 rubles. The owners of Q5 have a lot of complaints about the electrical equipment - it crashes, ESP also fails, the dashboard, the electric drives of the fifth door and power windows are buggy. But these malfunctions are not of a massive nature, manifesting themselves mainly sporadically.

As for the strength and resistance to corrosion of the body, then Audi has always been in perfect order with this. However, there were some surprises here too. The fact that chrome-plated body parts fade and bubble is no surprise. But the fact that on relatively fresh cars the paint peels off from the area under the license plate is nonsense. Moreover, this cover changes together with the false radiator grille and costs 40,000 rubles for dealers. True, if the trouble happened during the warranty period, dealers changed it for free.

The Audi Q5 is a very popular crossover in the aftermarket. Why should you consider buying this SUV Audi SUV very carefully and carefully? In detail and point by point.

Audi Q5 has been produced since 2008.

In general, the reliability of the Q5 is not so bad. Full out was until 2012 with a 2.0 TFSI and DSG engine. The new generation of Q5 has removed the problem with this engine, but other nuances have been added, which I think have played a disadvantage for this Audi model, and as you have already noticed, it is practically not bought ... The secondary housing is full of these cars and with different engines. Today I'll tell you what is worth taking, and what is worth running from like fire. And don't think you're lucky. There are no miracles. All copies from grandmothers who went for bread have long been over ...

MOTORS Audi Q5:

The engines were installed on the Audi Q5: gasoline - 2.0 TFSI with 180 and 211 hp. and 3.2 FSI 270 hp, as well as two turbodiesels - 2.0 TDI 170 hp. and 3.0 TDI 240 hp.

After restyling, the engines increased slightly in power: 2.0 TFSI to 225 hp, 2.0 TDI to 177 hp, and 3.0 TDI to 245 hp. Instead of the naturally aspirated 3.2 FSI, they began to offer a supercharged 3.0 TFSI with a capacity of 272 hp. which is now 333 hp.

If you look at the Q5 of the early years of production, then the most reliable engine was the aspirated V6 3.2 FSI. The only problem is the leaking pump.

But this defect occurs on all Audi Q5 engines and at different runs.

A 2-liter turbodiesel is also reliable, but better from 2011, because It was in this year that almost all the jambs that were in this engine at the beginning were fixed (kosyachny nozzles, it used to drive the fuel pump shavings) In general, many problems of this engine, of course, are due to the quality of the fuel, which is not particularly relevant now.

As for the 3.0 TDI, it had problems with the intake manifold flaps. The same injection pump, drove the shavings. At the end of 11, the pump was modified and the program of the engine control unit was slightly corrected. In general, this engine was installed and is being installed on very many models of the VW concern, therefore, as they say, GOD HIMSELF.

The 2.0 TFSI engine is at the end of the list for reliability of this model. Models until 2012 ate oil in barrels, because of the piston joint group. Oil consumption was considered NORMAL up to 1.5 liters per 10,000 km. If the owner ran out of patience and he still turned on his head and turned to services, the connecting rod-piston group changed according to the revocable company, the oil cooler changed.

Note that after replacement, this problem is not completely eliminated. Masloger is present. But not 1.5 liters, but about 300-400 grams, you will still top up ...

But that's not all that concerns this motor ...

Another "nice" surprise of this 2.0 TFSI engine is the timing chain jump followed by valve bending. Repair will cost the officials more than the cost of the contract motor. I remember when I worked for Audi, the estimate for the order alongside in 2012 was about 200,000 rubles. In general, be careful, Fortunately, there were certainly few such cases than with the "maslozhor".

CAUSES:

There are several reasons for the chain jump:

chain stretching (chain strength does not match the power of the turbocharged engine), the chain tensioner sagged when the oil pressure dropped (after a long idle period) (then its design was changed) and the camshaft position regulator (phase shifters) stop valve failed.

And more. This motor really does not like private starts, starts and short sections in an unheated state.

When buying, be sure to check the condition of the chain, which can be done either according to the control risks of the tensioner: if there are already 4 of them, then the tensioner full stroke is selected, and the chain is stretched. Or it is done with a diagnostic scanner, according to the state of the phase shifters. The maximum tolerance according to VAG standards is 3.57 gr. This is a critical value.

Also on the Q5 with a 2.0 TFSI engine there were problems with the fuel pump control unit, ignition coils and intake manifold.

A 6-speed manual transmission was installed with a 2-liter diesel and gasoline engine. Such cars were usually brought from Germany. There were no problems with this box, but there was one caveat. It broke the drive shaft landing cup on the left. Vibration appeared. Repair in such cases is not provided, or replacement of the box body. The installation of various compensating plates did not give much effect. In general ... A non-acidic surprise can form out of the blue. But by the way ... if you look soberly, in the conditions of industrial repair, this seat can be easily restored.

The Q5 with a 3.2 FSI engine was equipped with a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. With the rest of the engines 7-speed DSG S-tronic.

The first S Troniki as well as all DSGs. They pushed, kicked, there were blows when switching, the inclusion of only even or only odd gears and other nuances.

They constantly changed the software, changed the clutch, more often the mechatronics circuit board or the mechatronics engineer itself.

But unfortunately, after the renovation, the chance that you will come back is much greater than not.

After restyling, the S-tronic was left only on diesel versions of the Audi Q5. On gasoline modifications, they began to install an 8-speed "automatic" Tiptronic.

And now, after changing the chassis of this car, again DSG and the machine is only put on the charged version of the SQ5.

SUSPENSION:

In the suspension, as a rule, the lower ball joints and front hubs are dying on the Audi Q5. The spare parts are full of analogues and it makes no sense to go to the officials with this problem. True, extruding the hubs without removing the fist without VAG devices is almost an unrealistic task.

If the Q5 has a Knock at the rear of the suspension, this is usually caused by the free movement of the shock absorber bumper along the rod. You need to either fix the bump stop, or put the modernized ones ...

Squeaking or short-term biting when turning the steering wheel is a symptom of the steering shaft cross problem. Replacing the shaft will cost you about 40 thousand rubles.

FOR EXTERNAL CROSSES, I note:

Audi Q5 disease is condensation in the front optics. Disassembly, drying, etc. it won't give you much, because the ventilation of the headlights and the general area around the headlight in general is a little wrong. And in wet weather or after washing, everything will happen again. Then, after melting, this problem disappeared. If the problem persists, then the whole headlamp is changed. The cost of the new headlight will not please you, so many people buy the Chinese analogue of Depo, which is just a miserable copy in terms of light quality. Therefore, when buying, check whether the headlights are native or original on a particular copy.

Often on these headlights the LED "eyelash" of the size burns out, but this usually means that the control unit has died. Disassembly is full of them. Don't try to buy a new one.

Also on the Audi Q5, the climate control fan often dies: due to the banal wear of the electric motor brushes. A malfunction is diagnosed by hitting the glove compartment area: if the fan starts working, then it’s time to change it. The cost of a new stove motor is about 15 thousand rubles. But analogs are much cheaper, and of quite excellent quality.

ELECTRONICS:

In the Audi Q5, as indeed in all Audi, there is a large number of Electronic Units, in which various floating non-critical "glitches" constantly occur. Therefore, if you see a lot of errors when diagnosing a car before buying, and they are deleted and do not appear again. Don't worry too much. This is often due to voltage dips caused by resistance in wet weather in winter in spring. And they do not affect performance in any way.

I can say that the most common: "glitches" are an electromechanical handbrake, a tire pressure sensor, keyless entry, loss of sound in multimedia after the start of movement, freezing of the dashboard display.

Things like Airbag Fault Lighting are treated with new airbag ECU firmware.

The "glitch" of the washer fluid level sensor is simply an incomprehensible chemical composition of the anti-freeze systems that are sold in our country. There is only one way out: by testing, select the liquid with which the level detection sensor works correctly.

By the way .. Due to the decay of the electrical wiring in the positive tee under the driver's seat, the rear window wiper and the electric drive of the front seats may stop functioning. This is usually a nuance of operation. It's just that water gets onto the wiring from the rugs.

Well, that's probably all. What would I note from the most frequent and serious seen on the Audi Q5. Otherwise, the car is not bad, comfortable and if you find an unused specimen and the correct year, I think it will only delight you.

Thank you for reading to the end, great luck Friends, when choosing a car.

Childhood diseases Audi Q5 (2008 - 2012, restyling 2012 - present).

Since 2008, Audi Q5 has been produced in Germany, Ingolstadt. Q5 was also collected in Kaluga. The assembly was SKD (they imported a "car kit" - to reduce "customs clearance"), so you shouldn't worry about the quality. But if this is important for you, just look at the beginning of the VIN number. For cars assembled in Germany - WAU, assembled in Kaluga - XV8.

The choice of 4 turbocharged units with varying degrees of "boost" and one atmospheric. Diesels: 2.0 l. - from 143 to 190 hp, up to 100 km from 11 to 8.4 seconds, average consumption - 5.7 liters per 100 km, 3.0 liters. - from 235 to 258 hp, the first hundred kilometers from 6.5 to 6.2 seconds, mixed consumption - 7 liters per hundred. Gasoline internal combustion engines: 2.0 l. - from 180 to 230 hp, up to 100 km from 8.5 to 6.9 seconds, average consumption - 7.5 liters, 3.0 liters. - 272 hp, up to 100 km - 5.9 seconds, city / highway consumption - 8.5 liters, 3.2 liters (atmospheric) - 270 horsepower, acceleration to 100 - 6.9 seconds, mixed consumption - 9.4 l / 100 km.

3 transmission options: mechanical - 6 gears, robotized in 7 steps (wet - DSG), 8-band "torque converter".

In management "ku-fifth" is precise and pleasant. The suspension is stiff but energy intensive. The ground clearance is 200 mm, a definite plus for our country.

In the basic configuration: four-wheel drive, manual transmission (6 units), el. heated mirrors, LED running lights and taillights, bi-xenon headlights, multifunction steering wheel, climate control, anti-rollback, assistance when descending from the mountain, cruise control, 6 airbags, el. boot lid drive, start / stop, rear parking sensors, heated front seats, CD - AUX audio system. To the "base" can be added: 2 rear side airbags, control of "blind spots" and lanes, pre-heater, adaptive headlights and cruise control, leather interior, heated rear seats, el. folding mirrors, electric front seats with memory and ventilation, HI-Fi navigation system with Bluetooth, keyless entry, light and rain sensor, rear view camera.

What to look for when buying a used Audi Q5.

Sores	Solutions
Engine
2.0 TFSI - the timing chain is pulled out, the phase is shifted - the engine is "troit", the dynamics falls, if you don't notice it in time - the valve bend may appear even at 80,000 thousand km	installation of the upgraded chain and tensioner, before purchasing - check the "tension" of the chain with a scanner (it is advisable to check the chain tension once a year)
2.0 TFSI - increased oil consumption - poor design of the piston group	since 2011, a modernized piston has been installed (consumption has decreased, but has not disappeared), if the car is before 2011 - you can write a letter to the manufacturer to fix the problem (free or 50/50) for a recall campaign
2.0 TFSI - weak oil separator diaphragm - poor mixture error, rpm float, sometimes accompanied by a characteristic "whistle", consequences - the crankshaft oil seal can be squeezed out	immediately check the membrane, you can buy it separately from the oil separator (for example, on drive2)
2.0 TFSI - the engine stalls, the starter does not "crank", an error due to low oil pressure - the filter / balancing shaft mesh is clogged	replacement of balancer shafts
weak ignition coils (gasoline internal combustion engines) - on average enough for 80,000 km)	bosh is installed from the factory, so do not overpay for a VAG sticker (it is advisable to have one coil in the car)
3.0 TDI - intake manifold rods often break	installation of modernized rods
2.0 TDI - the timing belt can break at 50,000 km, and maybe even after 200,000 km, the pump wedges - the belt breaks (statistics are not large, but the engine is not massive)	after purchase - replace the timing belt and pump (preferably the original), check the timing with an endoscope every - 50,000 km
3.0 TDI - power drops, accompanied by a Check Engine error (at first, the problem is floating) - intake manifold air flaps are stuck	removal together with the EGR system
3.0 TDI - due to a defect in the high-pressure fuel pump, chips enter the fuel system as a result - expensive repairs	be sure to check the warranty replacement of the injection pump at the dealer, if there is no data, it is better to refrain from buying
Transmission
DSG 7 - not the first time the gears are turned on, the box "jerks" - "kicks"	replacement of the clutch, control boards or installation of modernized mechatronics, repairs are also possible according to the program - Kulanz,some auto repair shops - repair mechatronics, obligatory oil change every - 50 tons km
Suspension
bites the steering wheel - the development of the intermediate shaft (its cross)	replace the shaft assembly (you can try your luck with - Coolance), change only the crosspiece in the shaft dangerously - there is a risk of being left without steering on the go!
Electrician
the "running light" (eyebrow, eyelash) stops burning, the protective diode in the control unit burns out	repair from an electrician or purchase a diode in a radio store - solder yourself
"Whistling" or the motor of the cabin stove does not work	clean and lubricate the motor, if it does not help - install a new one (there is not an original -Hella)
headlights sweat - not enough ventilation or clogged drain pipes	clean the drain pipes, dry the headlight, if necessary drill small ventilation holes (behind the headlight)

When choosing Q5, it is better to consider a diesel (less problematic engines, and even more so with "mechanics") version or a gasoline version with a "hydraulic converter" in 8 stages (since the end of 2012, they have installed a box -ZF, on diesels only DSG or "mechanics") - the engine has already been upgraded (now it produces -225 hp), the main sores have been fixed (but it's better to check them before buying). There is little information about the 3.2 (V6) power unit, but most likely it is already eating up oil (due to its age, after restyling they stopped installing it), the timing chain could stretch out - a mandatory diagnosis. For the US market, from 3.2, a 6-speed gearbox (torque converter) was put, but finding a well-groomed option is problematic. If the budget is only enough for the "first years of production" - choose only with dealer service, ask the dealer about repairing a robotic DSG gearbox, piston, replacing the timing chain, etc.

At first glance, the Audi Q5 impresses with its brutality and beauty. But it is important to remember that you cannot always drive as much as you want in a beautiful car, the main thing is reliability. But is this the case with the Audi Ku 5? Therefore, the following will describe the negative sides, weaknesses and shortcomings that every future owner should be aware of. And what you need to prepare for after purchasing this car.

Weaknesses of the Audi Q5

2L TFSI engine;
Timing chain tensioner;
Water pump;
S-Tronic box;
Electronics.

Now in more detail ...

2L TFSI engine

This engine is famous for its unreliability not only on the Audi Q5, but also on other Audi models. With this motor, problems arise most of all compared to other motors. It can be immediately noted that the two-liter TFSI has a weak piston group due to the unsuccessful arrangement of the rings and pistons. On many cars, even with a mileage of 60-70 thousand km. problems appeared, manifested in the form of increased oil consumption, which, accordingly, indicated the wear of the piston group. But it is important to remind that this problem occurred on cars before 2011, later this design defect was corrected. Also, the Audi Ku 5 with this engine showed several more frequent malfunctions, such as ignition coils, which rarely "survived" up to 80 thousand km, as well as malfunctions in the intake manifold, which also manifested themselves in the area of \u200b\u200bthe same run. It is important to know that the elimination of all the aforementioned malfunctions is quite an expensive procedure.

Timing chain tensioner.

This rather serious element of the gas distribution mechanism often failed. It is also important to note that the malfunction also manifested itself on vehicles prior to 2011. The most dangerous scenario for chain tensioner failure and stretching is valve bending. Which in turn will require expensive engine repairs. Therefore, before buying, it is important to pay attention to the age of the car and accordingly be aware of it.

Water pump (pump).

The water pump is disease of all Audi Q5s with a run in the region of 80-100 thousand km. Although not a few owners of these cars met with this nuisance both at 30 and 40 thousand km. The essence of the problem lies in the fact that the pump begins to flow, and this, in turn, will directly and indirectly affect the performance and failure of individual elements, both the cooling system and engine operation, etc. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to this when buying.

S-Tronic box.

Many owners of the Audi Ku 5 with this box remember it not in very positive terms. And of course there is a reason! She often went out of order even up to 100 thousand km. mileage. The most common failures are electronic printed circuit boards of mechatronics and the multi-plate friction clutch of the gearbox. Therefore, when choosing a car with this box, it is important to remember this and check before buying, for the absence of jerking and hard work.

Electronics.

As you know, almost all German cars are stuffed with electronics. Only her work often fails. And in all directions. Anything can fail, from music to display failure, power seats, airbags, etc. When buying, it is important to check the operability of all energy consumers of this vehicle.

Disadvantages of the Audi Ku 5

Bad start of an Audi with a diesel engine in the winter;
High cost of maintenance;
Increased oil consumption;
Poor quality spare parts;
Small volume of the luggage compartment;
Loses in value quickly.

In conclusion, we can say that when choosing an Audi Ku 5 car, you need to be very careful. The most important thing is that if the choice fell on this particular car, then when buying, the ideal option would be to carry out a complete diagnosis of all systems and assemblies. And also remember the above. After all, as mentioned earlier, the car is very expensive to maintain and German quality is currently the opposite definition.
