FAQ: Audi Q5 Maintenance Tips
Q: How often should I change the oil in my 2.0 TFSI?
A: While Audi suggests long-life intervals, many UK owners prefer an interim oil and filter change every 10,000 miles to protect the engine. Our manual shows you exactly how to do this.
Q: Does my Q5 have a timing belt or a chain?
A: It depends on your engine code. The 2.0 TDI usually has a timing belt (cambelt) that needs changing every 5 years in the UK. Many TFSI and 3.0 TDI engines use a chain. Our manual provides the specific check and replacement schedules for your exact code.
Q: Where is the AdBlue tank on the Q5?
A: On diesel models, the AdBlue filler is usually located next to the diesel fuel filler neck under the fuel flap. Our guide explains how to refill it and how to clear the dashboard warning.
