    Transmission issue with Audi Q5?

    Audi Audi Advice Audi Q5 Audi Q5 Advice Audi Q5 2012

    My 2012 Audi Q5 V6 diesel is approaching 60,000km. I have been advised that there could be an inherent issue with the automatic transmission that may be very expensive to repair. Should I be concerned and start looking at a replacement vehicle?

    The seven-speed DSG gearbox has been the subject of a recall by VW and Audi. There have been problems with the transmission ECU and the clutch packs in the gearbox itself. In some cases the ECU has been replaced, in others the whole gearbox has been replaced. I wouldn't panic about what might happen, if your Q5 is driving normally and not exhibiting any problems I would continue to drive it. If you are concerned about it consult your dealer.
