Bought in 2017. Serviced according to log box with Audi dealer but once it approached 3 years, it kept having problems. Decided to use independent mechanic (not cheap either). Same issue, problems each time. Just reached 100,000kms. Mechanic told me right CV joint needs replacement, $1500. EPC light comes on, turbo needs replacement, about $4500. Anyone with similar issues? Is there any way I can get it fixed at lower costs?
Got my outer cv joint done in About 800-900. In cairns. Not sure about other things.
Hi, my Audi Q5 2l TDI just stopped whilst i was driving into a car park. i tried to restart the engine, although was only partially successful for about 1 second. When i attempted too restart the engine it only just turned over like my battery was flat, and that was it.
the only engine light to come on was the Glow plug pre engine heating light.
when roadside assistance came he did find that engine drive belt was significantly damaged.
i have had a new belt fitted and a new battery as well, although still have no success.
the mechanic is talking about a new starter motor, although i can't see how tis could cause the engine too shut down.
does anybody know if the engine shuts down automatically if the drive belt fails, and if so does it need to be reset so the engine can then start again.
should anyone have a suggestion i would love to hear it?
thanks, peter
Hi Peter
I have no experience on the same, I have not faced this issue
It's possible that the timing belt has jumped if the drive belt has wrapped around and jamed up.
