Audi Q5 facelift 2.0tdi stronic- any gearbox issues?

[Freedomfighter]

I've seen a few points raised about the s tronic gearbox which I believe is the 7 speed unit fitted to the 2.0tdi. Any of the more informed know anything about these? Reliability etc? Much appreciated.

Late ones are really good; still need oil at 40 but not experienced any reliability issues.

The problems are generally with the 09-10 cars.

Hi just looking at getting a 2012 '62 plate onward Q5 2.0tdi S-Tronic. Did you manage to find anything further with regard to issues vs the older units?
