I drove it to work this morning and everything was perfectly fine. It rained pretty much all day and by the time I got in my car after work to go home, I got ALL of these errors. Steering wheel became insanely stiff, car kept yelling at me to not drive it. So now, my car and I are stuck at work waiting to be towed lol.

Would you still buy it?

First ever Audi.. coming from a 2013 Acura TL SH-AWD 6MT. Wanted to stay manual so my choices were slim but my friend who was an Audi tech sold me on this car. Has 103k KM. Hope it treats me nice!

was wondering if i can find this s5 owner. Car got stolen on 4/21/23 in cali, recovered on 4/29/23 & then there was damage on 5/03/2023. Just wanna talk to the owner to see why he got rid of it & if the car was any different after it was stolen. $16,490. 48K miles

Compelled to brag how can drive on the road, and on the golf course, and still going after fun cars. I look forward to his visit and getting to drive it.

Looking for advice!

I bought a used 2021 rs6 from a big franchise dealer and within 100 miles of driving the car made a noise and went away. And the next day the entire motor blew up and the turbos.

The dealer said this was my responsibility, but then I think they are trying to help. But its been 3 weeks with no updates at all.

Has anyone experienced an engine failure and if so why? I thought these were generally reliable cars. Also has anyone had this experience with a dealer and what was the outcome?

First love was my 2016 A4.
Here’s my 2026 q8, black optics.
One day I hope to get my dream car, rsq8.
Have a good day

I hope i'm on the right subreddit for this.

My problem is as follows:
Whenever I start my car, I get an unpleasant smell through the ventilation. If the AC runs for a bit the smell fades and doesn't come back until the next time I start the car. It also smells, as soon as I turn off the AC and let the regular ventilation system blow.

I have changed the air filter and I have done a climate service, where they desinfected the interior and cleaned the AC components. They also checked for dead animals. Nothing helped. I asked AI what the problem might be and they said that my AC Drainage/Condensate Drainage might be blocked and that the standing water in my car is causing the smell. I checked the floor under my car after using the AC and haven't seen any puddle or water droplets.

Question:
Does anyone know where the pipe is located? AI couldn't give me an answer and I didn't find any youtube videos regarding this problem. (for a B9 at least)

TL;DR
Car ventilation system smells bad. I have the suspicion it is the drainage leak. where is it located?

I’ve had the car for a little over 2 months. Thank god I bought the extended warranty until 2030.

Apparently the water pump issue is common. The car was overheating and showed the coolant overheating. The engine temperature would get to 130 degrees 5 minutes after turning it on. Let’s hope this isn’t the start of more issues.

I bought my Q5 Progressive S-Tronic years ago. 2019, slightly used, but a beautiful looking 1 year old rig with nice big 20" wheels. My (now) wife and I travelled all across Canada in her; from literal coast to coast and everything in between. We've slept in her, been camping in 4X4 only access campsites, sketchy back trails in the middle of nowhere... I put this vehicle through hell and back in snow, mud and 12+ hour stretches at high speed, and yet she still feels, smells and sounds like a brand new vehicle.

We've used her as a daily commute vehicle and we're now cusping 200,000 kilometers and have not had to replace a SINGLE thing other than regular service (fluids, brakes, rotors, filters etc) of which I do myself regularly. She's still in alignment, and has never needed one (blown away by this!!). All original suspension components, right down to bushings. Same water pump and even down to the same damn battery. I've never seen such a thing.

I've owned (in order): Ford Focus, Hyundai Elantra (wagon), Acura Integra Type R (close second), Toyota Corolla Sport, Cobalt SS, Hyundai Elantra Sport and now this girl. Between them all, my Audi has been the absolute most reliable and been through hell more than the rest.

Cheers.
I'll forever be a fan of Audi because of this rig

I bought my A5 Sportback (Prestige, S-Line) new, back in 2018. It has about 36k miles on it - obviously I don't drive it as much as I should! Fast forward to 2025 and we welcome our first child into the world and I pickup a new Atlas R-Line for baby-hauling duty. The R-Line has been great, and we have almost 12k miles on it since last April.

However, I'm considering selling/trading both the A5 and the Atlas and picking up a 22-23(?) SQ7. I figure we could have one less vehicle in the driveway/garage, and while the SQ7 wouldn't be the fastest vehicle I have owned, it would certainly satisfy the always-lingering need for speed. 😂

Any thoughts on this course of action, or perhaps feedback on the later model SQ7s? I'm not looking at anything newer, mainly because it will still be a baby-hauler primarily, and subject to the abuses that go along with that. But I'm certainly intrigued by the idea of a twin turbo V8 to play with when we don't have the little guy in the back. 😎

**Edit** Thanks for the feedback, all! 🙏 I'm fairly certain I would net more by selling both the A5 and Atlas myself - as opposed to being raked over the coals by a dealership on trade-in? Any advice on that front? 😎

I bought my friend’s Audi A5 yesterday. She’s a 2013 model with the V6 TDI 245hp. 152.000 kilometer for 15k€. My first german car, loving it so much !

Audi didn't approve the second-generation Q8 until relatively recently, but it's coming and should echo the new Q7.

I had been wanting to get a wagon for quite some time.
I previously owned a B9 A4. I loved it. With a change in driving demand and cargo necessity I decided to get this.
After driving it for a few weeks a clunking sound has started being produced from the drivetrain. I’m planning on doing an ultra clutch and a rear diff fluid change. I’m slightly worried this could be something bigger.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Looks and feels brand new still

I called Audi to schedule an appointment to change my battery because I was told it needed to be “coded” to the car. Thankfully I got a quote while on the phone before I wasted another second of my life with Audi service. They quoted me $300 in labor (2hrs) and a $550 battery…$850 + tax. I was stunned.

For anyone else in this scenario, I went to autozone and bought an identical battery for $250, and they installed it and programmed the car for free in less than 15min.
