I just had to do this on mine as well. Thanks for figuring that out for the rest of us.

All great stuff - thanks! We won't be in any huge hurry going through in either direction, so not a problem if we're held up a day or two as long as it's in a hotel and not a snowbank. And we'll...

Thanks for the info. I keep forgetting to look at the manual when I'm in the Audi to see what it says about chains.

Dalancroft - what type of chains did you buy? Most of them look like they'd...

Seattle-Phoenix in November, all seasons ok?

We plan to drive on the I-5 to LA then I-10 to Phoenix. I understand there are a few mountain passes along the way but I have no first hand experience any time of the year. I live in BC now and...

It's great we have a choice and personally I think it's a good tradeoff - added weight up top vs sitting in a dark cave. For me this is a comfortable SUV that handles nice and looks good. Not a...

I also have a couple of Yakima Forklifts that I leave on all the time. Adds some noise but to me it is more than worth it. It's a personal decision though. As I recall it was a big increase in...

I'll take the built-in NAV with all its warts any day. Smartphone nav is better than a paper map though - assuming you have coverage, a data plan and adequate data bandwidth when you need it. ...

As predicted the kit wouldn't all go back into the correct places. Even the jack is difficult. I managed to pop off and lose a plastic trim rivet. The tool bag? Not a chance. Not that it really...

Finally used the spare tire

While out on the town this past weekend I returned to my Q5 to find a rear tire completely flat. I'd run over a screw at some point. Anyway, pouring rain and all, I decided it was time to check out...

On my 2012 the headlight washers give a squirt every fifth or so time you use the windwshield washers.

My 2012 was the same (by design apparently) but the dealer fixed it. So before it was on 6 from Nov-Mar and now 6 gets too hot after about 5-10 minutes.

Love those wheels. They look great. Two questions:

1. Are the center caps painted to match the wheels? Looks like they are. The Hartmann Audi center caps are not.

2. Isn't the wheel offset...

If you're planning to keep the car after the warranty runs out then you may want to disable the auto fold. I had my Mercedes mirrors replaced at about 5 years - under extended warranty, but...

Mine seemed to be intermittently not working but I think it was just when the Seat Memory switch had been accidently turned OFF (LED lit) when my wife exited the car.

If you regularly wash your wheels in the winter, you'll appreciate a simple, smooth, 5-spoke design like the PR-C2T?? (the optional 19" wheel for the 2012 Q5?). It seems I spend as much time on the...

My wife and I share vehicles and on her Mercedes the knob direction is reversed, as is the parking brake switch so I'll never get used to either vehicle.
