Audi Q5 2.0TFSi S-tronic Variations problem

[uber4007]

Hi I had the same problem with my Q5 although it is the 3.0 TDI model. (see "Q5 surging problem" on YouTube) Long story but after trying many fixes the dealer pressured Germany to replace the 7 speed DSG gearbox. Problem was solved instantly.

Same thing with my cousins Q5

You are right about the update it was the first thing I asked them about . They said it is already had the latest update. After they checked the memory of the car for any fault they told me that one of the vale sensors is bad. I really don’t know what is going on with Audi these days . I still have other problems with them.

Last month I got an A5 with the same engine TFSI 2.0 and it has the same thing . I went to the Audi maintenance shop and they checked it .They said that one of the valve sensors has a problem and they need to change it.

@zarieahgmail well thats interesting! the problem is supposed to be solved with an ECU update that Audi has released over a year ago. i guess your engine would not need that because it's much younger that mine (March 09) and should carry the most recent ECU program. although i have almost fixed the problem now, i will have the valve sensors checked next time i visit the maintenance shop since the Audi mechanics are kind of lame here in Greece!

My 1-year old Q5 2.0TFSI S-tronic started malfunctioning last week. The guys from ETEA are currently trying to re-install the gearbox ECU hardware. 2500 Euro the cost, thank Buddha that it's on warranty.

Maybe its just doing it in time with the music! lol

[gmalliaris]

Great choice.

My Q5 had the same problem. It's an issue of the Stronic which can be corrected within 10 minutes at the dealer. They just re-programm the gear box. Other than that, I have my car for 4 months (15.000 klm) and I have no other problem.

Dude.... first of all nice music :D Stratovarius :D Now... about your car... 1st Excellent choice... 2nd you have your Cruise Control ON... so the car to keep the speed of your choice sometimes has to give more RPM or Less

[StefanAlfisti]

Thanks! First of all the music is Dream Theater! Second this is a usual problem for the Q5s! It has to do the ECU mapping and just a week ago Audi released an update for the ECU in order to fix it. Next week I'm going to my dealer to do the update and I will upload a new video.

[dezzin]

U are right about the Band :P Soz... Of course it might have some problems... its a new car... Deferent from the Q7 in the Technology stuff.... The good thing is that Audi keeps updating them

[999extraaa]

aha.... show this problem to the company and they will fekcet 4 u :(

[StefanAlfisti]

ok...whatever...

[999extraaa]

nothing wrong in your car .

i have q5 to  and it's agod car =D

whach my vedio ....

[StefanAlfisti]

of course there is something wrong with the car...this happens in the majority of Q5s here in Greece. There are also problems with the stability of the brakes and the steering. The local Audi Service has mentioned the problem and it does S-tronic software updates and brake disks changes for free.

wierd... nice car thoug!!!!!
