I search several threads, but can’t seem to find an answer to my question. I’m looking at several 3.0L TDI vehicles but I’m noticing a power difference of 225 hp versus 240 hp. I assume that’s a GEN one versus a GEN two. I am finding several vehicles from 2010 - 2016 and wanted to know what the...
I sold my Audi Q5 today and have a few parts left from planned projects. One project was the rear hub and bearings. In September, I replaced the front set but never got around to the rear. I if you are interested, I am asking $225 for the pair; you pay the shipping or pick it up near Joliet, IL...
Thank you for all your help. I wanted to offer my experience with the change.
We used two people, but one did 95% of the work. I purchased a belt tensioner wrench from Harbor Freight and had the T60 in my toolbox. We used a short allen wrench to lock the tensioner in place and bent the first...
I watched a video that made an off-handed comment the Continental was the Audi belt. We all know everything posted on the internet is true.
I searched the internet for reviews on belts. I found good reviews for the Continental and the stock belt but poor or mixed reviews on others. I do not...
Hi all,
I am just checking to see if anyone can offer any tips or tricks for changing the belt. I have 170K miles on the original belt and pulleys without any cracks or squeaks (feeling very lucky), and I will change it myself. I purchased an Audi belt dampener and a Continental belt but was...
Offering my experience. I have a similar situation, '14 Q5, daily driver, 90% highway, between 100-150 miles per day, and rare towing. I have 147k miles (not km). I purchase CPO at 43K. I use Powerstroke products with each fill-up, 10K oil changes, and all services per Audi recommendation...
After changing my glow pugs (highly recommended as DIY on this engine) I connected the VCDS to clear the code and discovered a new code. Hu? The code is 02559, indicating Rear right midrange/woofer loudspeaker circuit has an intermittent open fault. Well, now I know why my stereo cuts out from...
I am approaching the 7-year mark with the stock battery and I don't want to be stranded in the winter. The dealership is asking $350-$400 for a battery change. Since I have the VCDS, I'm up for changing my own. I prefer the Interstate battery since I can pick one up at a wholesale. Anything I...
VagCom resets it. Check YouTube but I believe it is under something related to services reminders. It is a single click button.
Make sure your son has a VIN left because, once it is assigned, it is forever. I bought the VagCom specifically for maintenance and it has paid for itself in oil...
No smoke and no oil in the usual parking spot in the garage. Would the turbo be covered under the extended warranty? I am taking it in for a "pit stop" tomorrow (glorified general visual check with fluid top off so they can change me for fluids.) I planned on telling them but don't know if I...
Just wanted to find out what others are finding on oil consumption (or loss) over a 10K oil change. I am discovering I am needing another quart between oil changes. (Alert via the car's system.) Anyone else experiencing this? Is this something I should take up with the dealership for warranty...
Has anyone had a failed MMI? I am asking because mine takes several minutes to start playing music or connect for calls and I just recent ran across a video discussing replacement. With the age of our vehicle being around 6 years or so, this was maintenance I failed for anticipate and want to...
Never mounted and brand new. Part number is 8R0-092-115. Dealership tells me it fits 2009-2017. Included is a wiring harness from Stealth Hitch. Asking $300 plus shipping but feel free to shoot me a price.
Drive safe.
I'm rolling on Goodyear Assurance Weatherready. I have about 30K miles on them and seem hardly worn. I drive "spiritedly." I hope this helps.
Drive safe.
