Ive put a holding deposit down on a 15 plate SQ5 , Without the Audi drive select , Does drive select make much difference ,

Thanks for your help on this, But went to local Audi dealer this morning and got the QS5 ,s full spec list from them (very help full York Audi) The Garage in Manchester got a lot of the spec wrong, So Ive pulled out from buying it, Going for one now with ALL the right bits

Hi, Ive got a QS5 23K miles full history ect, Great car, But its 3 years old in 3 months, Is it worth getting a future warranty on this , Does much go wrong with them,

We see very few problems with SQ5s and sell lots of them. Brakes, tyres, and routine servicing.

Thanks Doc, It has warranty untill 21/7/17, had a health check at York Audi on Tuesday, mostly good, they told me it had been remapped , I said good thats saved me £200 ha ha, I thought it went well, The cars mint , all service history , full 2 tone leather, smart key, all keyless, full panroof, all black trim, debadged, TDI Quattro , Ive had lots of Audi,s this seems the fastest yet over the past cars A6, S6, (5.2) A8(4.2) A8 (3L)S5 (3L) It go,s very well,

If it's been remapped, an Audi warranty won't be available anyway.
I doubt any other warranty would cover it either, unless any issues were fixed by an independent who couldn't supply the warranty company with the TD1 flag in any data they requested.
The car will now be flagged with Audi as being TD1, which would repudiate any warranty claim via their Audi extended warranty.

Ive just got a 12 month warranty, (not Audi) I would take it to JJ Motors York, who are Good Audi Specialist,

How sure are they that its definately had a remap.

When I had mine delivered (new) from the dealer, the techies said to me it was the first one they had seen that had the upgraded engine power (326bhp) and it felt quicker than remapped older ones that they had driven.

Also said it felt the same as the Plus model (mine isnt) they were seeing and after having a bit of fun on my own private motorway stretch with one i can vouch for the performance match.

Just enjoy it - a mate asked me recently for some car help - X5 or an SQ5. I said both are great cars, both do their jobs amazingly but with the X5 after a few months you'll feel bored. He went with the SQ5 and keeps ringing me (3 months in) saying its his favourite car (travels LOTS of motorway miles) ever!
York Audi did full heath check, came back all good , They did 2 recalls airbag & aircon, Then as I was getting the Key back the service adviser asked if I was aware it had been remapped , She said future work may delete it from the ecu, Its a great car, Its a keeper , Bit to much swopping my private plate all the time ,

re map, dealer said if they had to work with the ecu ???? the map may be lost ?? dont really know, No real pics yet, and off on hols tomorrow, i will get some up when im back.
