Update on this. Original "new" 2016 Q5 TDI picked up in February 2018. Have over 11,000 on the vehicle. I used to regularly drive over 600 miles between fill ups. I actually drive more freeway now then with my 2014 Q5 TDI. I know we are in the winter fuel season in NJ, but I have yet to go...

The numbers I posted are hand calculated. Miles/gallons for each tank of fuel added. Reset the meter to 0 on every fill up.

Thanks. I believe I am past the break in period, which is about 150 hours. I drove it easy and followed the recommendations here: http://www.woltergroupllc.com/breaking-in-a-diesel-engine/ Hopefully, the transition from winter fuel and the break in will get me to 600 miles per tank and over...

But we went 200 miles round trip yesterday, all highway. Before we left, the indicator said we had 280 miles left before an empty tank. We barely made it 220 miles. The average mpg for the trip was about 32 mpg. In the 2014 Q5 TDI (pre-fix), we would typically average in the mid 30's on such...

On my 3rd tank of fuel. Still have not cracked 30 mpg. I used to regularly get 30-32 mpg in my 2014 Q5 TDI pre fix.

"New" 2015 and 2016 Audi MPG? I picked up a "new" 2016 Q5 TDI in early February. The first MPG calculation was off because the dealer had filled the tank, and it was not clear if the odometer had been reset. My 2014 Q5 TDI consistently got above 30 mpg, and close to or over 600 miles on a...

That's in Plano, TX. NY/NJ area had no such deals. And that's a 2015, not a 2016.

Best price I see on a Q5 is about 15% off. That is consistent with the 5 different local dealers I spoke too. Someone said 20% off is standard. That is a fantasy for Q5's, at least in the NY/NJ/PA area.

I bought a new 2016 TDI (traded in my 2014 Q5 TDI). Noticed this morning that cruising at 55 mph, for the first 5 minutes the RPMs were at 2000. Right at 5 minutes, the RPMs suddenly dropped to 1400. IIRC, my 2014 would consistently run at 14-1500 RPM at 55-60 mph, regardless of whether is...

How does the computer calculate the mpg and mileage left before an empty tank? When I would fill up my 2014Q5 TDI pre-fix, the computer would often tell me I could go 650 miles before the tank went empty. I would be lucky to go just over 600 miles in most cases, and in several cases, I could...

Went through about 6 dealers yesterday. 15% is the norm. There is a little wiggle room, but every dealer offered 15%, and none offered 20% even after haggling.

I am not disputing your statements. I have none of these issues. I was pleasantly surprised that my mpg readout on my commute home fir (35 miles of averaging 65-70 mph) showed mpgs of 32. y computer is not a lie-o-meter as some call it--it is generally only 1-2 mpg on the optimistic side...

I pulled the trigger on buying a 2016 Q5 TDI with 0 miles.

Did not realize that. Ford F150 will have a diesel too by August for the 2019 model.

I have a deal on a 2016 Q5 TDI Premium plus with the $4,500 technology package --sticker is $54,000, and they are selling it to me for under $46,000. The best trade deal I have on my car 2014 Q5 TDI is $22,000 (at other dealers), and I got that up to $24,000 for this deal. My out of pocket...

What are you using the F350 for? I am actually debating getting a Chevrolet Colorado with a Duramax Diesel or a "new" 2016 Q5 TDI. My car has over 70,000 miles, so I want something with less miles for my daily drive. I am leaning towards staying in the Q5. I want/need the pickup truck...

Got my fixed Q5 TDI back last night. Zero perceptible difference in driving. My commute is about 35 miles. It was snowing here this morning, and perhaps I was not paying that close attention to the engine. Will do a hand calculation on fuel economy if I get that far. Working on various...

Got mine back last night after the fix. Zero perceivable difference in driving/warm up. Dealer forgot to fill the gas tank. I e-mailed, and since then, my service rep has called 3 times profusely apologizing.

#MeTooQ5???:)

That's in line with mine unfixed 2014 Q5. Going for the fix in about an hour. Will report back.
