Hello, sorry for the delay in responding. At the end of it all, it was the rear diff which was replaced under warranty. I don't own the vehicle anymore...outgrew the car so I'm in an MDX now.

I posted a thread about this a couple weeks ago. I have the same noise on a '13 3.0T. I notice it most on warmer days once the drivetrain is up to operating temp. The dealer says they're not sure...

I never really considered the 2.0T when I bought mine, first time I drove one was last week as a service loaner (2014 2.0T). Although I have to admit it's adequate for driving around town, there is,...

Bob, I've owned a few AWD cars and a bunch of different tires. '05 G35X with Toyo Observe G-02's was awful compared to my '11 A4 with Dunlop Wintersport 3D's. However, I disliked those tires so much...

I haven't experienced this at all in 19000km driving my 3.0T. I can't speak for the Q5 2.0T, but I've driven a 2013 A4 2.0T (same engine/transmission) and if you want to start talking about...

As an aside, I've noticed the ride smoothed out quite a bit dropping from 19" all seasons to my 18" winter set up.

My '13 has 5.7.3, which I find to be pretty up to date. Good to see they're updating them more regularly. Seems like 5.5.5 was used for a couple years and is terribly out of date.

The strange thing is that on the UK website, the 3.0 TDI is rated for 5280 lbs with a 12% gradient hill. The 2.0 TFSI is 4400, same as we have here. So it seems as though the chassis and suspension...

I too heard that the hitch is severely back ordered right now. My dealer suggested there would be no chance to get one until October but it seemed as though it was just a shot in the dark guess.

I was told by my dealer that you need 18" + on the 3.0T's for winter. They were also really fussy about offset, said that I can't even use B8 A4 wheels. What's the offset on your oz's?
