Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Hey everyone!
    New to this community, and keen to get to know a few Audi SQ5 TDI owners around Melbourne.
    I found this forum whilst searching what may have caused my super lumpy idle, and keen to learn more about what other have done to their SQ5’s to keep them running on top top condition.
    Mine is a 2015, in Panther Black. Fully loaded except for the rear heated seats.
    Been a bloody great little tank thus far, and keen to a lot more mileage from it before I’m done.
    It’s feeling a little tired, so interested to know what others have done to keep it feeling fresh.
    Cheers!

    Welcome!

    The SQ5 is a really nice car.


    With the lumpy idle, check out Lucas_R post here Playing with an Audi SQ5 TDI
    On the EGR and intake runner cleaning worked wonders on our Touareg and even had more carbon build-up.

      Hi and welcome - good to see another SQ5 owner on here. Had ours for about 5 years now and its a great car. Your lumpy idle could be several things, but most common will be carbon buildup in the intake which gives the car a rough idle and will eventually throw a check engine light if ignored.
