what about the 3.2 motor?

[@ahsansyed1493]

Your reviews are awesome Justin! I LOVE that you focus primarily on used cars. Whenever I look into cars, I always consider used or lightly used models. I find your reviews are exactly on point!! Keep up the great work!!

[@JustinPritchard]

Thank you and great to hear!

[@pnwgolfer4798]

Dude nobody is test driving a car to an Audi dealership or mechanic shop to drop it off for hours and have them check the things you mentioned. This video would have been a lot more helpful had you provided more things that the buyer can check THEMSELF on the lot.

[@renc3920]

Legend has it Paul is still under that snowy & icy Q5 with his flashlight, trying to figure out what's GOOD about them after watching this video.

[@tinotino5778]

They not good cars?

[@billeldon]

Hmm, i'm on my second Q5 and neither one has a back seat that flips up and a sliding rear window. If you're not in the Q, why bother filming yourself driving a pickup?

[@Avation.Experience]

Just got a 2010 q5 for 6400 137k miles lol currently just looking at diy vids for knowledge but took a long 3hr drive back home and held up good

[@aronevdm]

Update? Are you happy with it

[@18_rabbit]

wow.. we mostly have the 3.2v6 in US, and few 3.0 turbo/SC'd

[@Idontlikethisever]

I agree it's all about "maximum peace of mind" 😀😀

[@Farooqummer]

Appreciate for making this video. But u r not driving Q5 and its too noisy background sound when u drive and talk. If u record without driving this video will become more useful. Thanks.

[@ibisgolf]

lol

[@stevenbean9706]

Hes not driving a Q5 cause its broke down

[@murkinranzyz9961]

2011 Audi Q5 3.2 quattro Premium Plus I’m looking to buy something like this. What do I need to know? What is the difference? Is this come with a turbo is this a goodbye?

[@buuzy252]

Awesome video!

[@kgbricks7426]

considering a 2013 q5 with about 153k miles for around 8k. how is maintenance gonna be? great condition

[@GlassHoss]

Wheres the 3.2...

[@jbbeamon3796]

Good Review Video

[@draganj7072]

Nice video, good tips. What about Q5 2.0TFSI Hybrid, petrol/electric 211 hp, 2012? I’ve heard that the fuel consumption is 15 mpg, not 34 mpg as per Audi specs!! And I also heard that the car jitters a lot at low speed when switching from electric to petrol mode and vice versa. Thinking to buy one but I’m not sure…

[@vascocarvalhodesousa6807]

Wondering how this ended up, as I'm thinking now in buying either Q5 2.0TFSI Hybrid 211hp 2012 (170.000 km) or Q5 2.0 TDI 190cv 2015 (167.000km).

[@pepealonso7846]

Ehat about the q5 vr6?.....is it reliable?

[@kaijinisthegreatest3170]

Thx so much

[@emiz56]

hey i want i buy 2013 q4 2.o tfsi quattro with 56300 kms, do you recommend it? can i change the display and get car play? easyly?

[@robsonselzelin]

How about the 3.2 V6 engine?

[@oliversimsiv]

Hi Justin. My dad just bought me a 2012 Audi Q5 3.2. I've had it for several months and nothing major is wrong with the car. My only problem is that the gas cap keeps leaking which causes the "Malfunction Indicator Lamp" light to come on. I just received a new gas cap and so far the light has not come on. Also when I go over major bumps I can hear a certain noise on the panoramic sunroof (not loud but it is just a small thump sound). Gladly, the sunroof does not leak when it is parked outside and raining. Otherwise, nothing is wrong with the car and I love it. Audi told my parents NOT to get the 2.0 engine. Now I can see why because my friend got a 2011 Audi A4 2.0. I have never seen her drive her car for more than a week straight because the engine either keeps shaking or it just shuts down. Thanks for the advice!

[@JustinPritchard]

+Oliver S glad to help! Enjoy the Q5 and use good gas!

[@robertkirakosian7770]

Oliver S i

[@mikewangg]

Oliver S Is the 2.0 engine really that bad? I’m looking at the 2012 Q5 for my first car and the majority of Q5s in my area have the 2.0 engine.

[@oliversimsiv]

Michael Wang In 2017, the 2010-2011 Audi 2.0 engines are plagued with problems…next year it may be the 2012 2.0 engines that are plagued. Honestly, and with all of the problems I saw my friend go through, I wouldn’t recommend the 2.0 engine unless you are buying one in a 2015-current model year. I hope this helps.

[@215nerf]

are u sure its a very common engine i dont think it having much problems is a possibility

[@davidallen141]

Thinking about buying a q5 via long distance purchase. Any advice? What do you think about 2015 year and 55-65k in mileage?

[@sofloflow]

Id never buy a car sight unseen

[@gabrielmergm]

I Have 2 Audi Q7,.but im very disappointed with both ,the first one is 2007 {95m)i has many mechanical problems witch i spend thousands of dollars,them i bought 20015 ,with a very low miles {26,m} and also has mechanicals problems with the steering for now ,{and i bought in very prestious dealer in Manhattan ,i love Audi s but they also disappoint me ,....Im thinking a Porshe Macan,what can you advise me

[@ttbu29]

Thanks Justin; just curious . . . it appears you have the second row seats folded up. Do they do that in only certain model years? I have not seen that feature shown in other Q5 videos. Thanks.

[@impolw22]

[@thegiftofgabbz9360]

Hello I have a question I’m looking to purchase a 2015 - 2016 q5 2.0 premium can you give me some pointers it will be my first truck and I’m a little nervous as I’ve read some comments about having issues with 2.0 is that still the case in the 2015-2016 as well ?

[@cmaccarter93]

Hey there! I honestly would stay away from any audi 2.0 engine. The diesel is way better if you're looking for good gas mileage

[@timothybracken1728]

What about the 3.2 ? I want to buy a used 2010 q5 with 87k miles for 10k USD ?

[@firstjohn3123]

Re: Autostop. Vehicle must be warmed up to function. If it does not function, there may be 1 of 2 issues. Electronic or bad battery. If the battery is weak, the autostop senses this and ceases to function. And...You are in a truck reviewing buying a used Q5?

[@AW-xv7dq]

there will be a dealership in your that provides a certified preowned designation. Make sure you shop around for this and make sure the upcharge is minimal if non existent. Be patient... there is always one.

[@rodgazinya]

You forgot about the 3.2l V6 option

[@Eric-tr3nh]

what year is the audi q5 u show in this video

[@JustinPritchard]

I believe 2015

[@alanlandon5743]

You mention the 2.0t has timing chain tension issues. The 2.0t is timing belt. please explain

[@UltraNsx25]

the Q5 comes out in America just timing chain only. The issues on this type of car is the tensioner, and oil consumption. If you have a Q5 that the mileage is over 75000 miles I suggest you do a timing chain job because of the faulty design tensioner so might as well replace all the chains and guides since you already doing a tensioner replace.

[@jollyrodger1537]

3.2 engine RUN AWAY!!! (repairs can get costly) recommended engines are 2014 and newer 2.0T and the great 3.0T engine, I also like the Diesel engines

[@jpch8814]

what about 2.0TFSI from 2009?

[@golduinabraham153]

jp ch 2.0 TFSI engines have drinking problem, cuz the have a turbo+supercharger, small engine, and heavy body, so its good in high way but terrible in the city

[@jpch8814]

They only have Turbo to my knowledge...

[@rontoth6159]

I have a 2011 with the 3.2 with 182k miles and it feels like it's got another 180k in reserve Also had a 2007 A4 with the 3.2 that I traded with 140k on it no problems. I like it better than the 2.0T. I'd buy a SQ before I would consider the four banger.

[@jollyrodger1537]

@@PasvMnySNPR10x good luck with that the 3.0 T is not a turbo by the way

which of the q5 engines suck oil a lot ?

[@alexmoreno710]

Its an Audi. They all consume oil. Especially turbos.

[@lyfandeth]

Oil problems fixed with the 2013 model year. Earlier years had recalls and mods to fix them.

[@scottnorman6603]

@@lyfandeth no 2014 uses 1 litre every 700 miles.

[@RacinAlpinestar2]

they come in 3.2L literally only reason i was gonna watch it.

[@DeRock401]

So basically you need to get the car for a week to have a mechanic look at all this lol

[@gaelylesly]

3.2 engine is missing

[@ivanhurd6512]

Getting a car chipped does not void manufacturer warranty. They can only deny service if they can prove that the tune was the cause of the issue.

[@onirico7913]

A video about a car you are not driving does not really make sense. A lot of noise and not easy to follow man, but thanks for uploading anyway.

[@longdonglarry]

stay away from the 2.0 TFSI engine. Many of them have serious oil consumption issues that will at some point lead to an extremely expensive engine repair or damage.

[@user-xf3ws1zr5k]

tuvalu actually ea888 engine is not expensive to repair. But oil consumption is truly serious

[@millardc6768]

That was an issue prior to 2012. I believe they fixed the oil consumption issue after the 2012 model

[@scottnorman6603]

@@millardc6768 no they didn't. I have 2014 and it uses oil. 1 litre every 700 miles.

thx for the info handsome

all of that mechanics check and check .for that better to buy a new car

[@tyronvangreunen]

Take my advice, first tip is do not buy one. These are money pits that will literally bleed you dry. No motor plan= run for your life. Far more reliable cars out there.

[@omegaman7241]

THANKS I WON'T BUY ONE NOW....SOUNDS LIKE A PROBLEM

[@eddiebrown687]

I love how these guys just assume we know a mechanic, or why would we pay hundreds of dollars to schedule an appt. with one for a used car test drive.

[@kevinmurray3301]

I paid $200 for a mechanic to check out 3 cars in the NYC metro area last year when i shopped for my SQ5 - didnt have the time to travel and do it myself. He charged me $100 for the first car and $50 for each additional. The first SQ5 i was after was a lemon, best money i ever spent. IDK how people buy cars WITHOUT doing this.

[@petersrightbut8297]

Common sense

[@Ceh000]

So.. basically take the car to a mechanic before you buy it. Cool.

[@qudlaty99]

that's what I got out of it, I thought he'll give some "out of ordinary tips" but his tips are all obvious things to check when buying a used car. You can take this video and instead of "Audi q5 - 9 things to check" do "ANY used car - 9 things to check".

[@stevenbean9706]

Got my Audi from an Audi dealer and took it to another Audi dealer to pick apart doesnt matter who you take em to they are either complete junk or they run fine for a long time nobody can tell you anything your not going to see or feel on your own if you take it out for a ride.mine was fine a few months and started to implode immediately after. And the dealer i took it to is considered one of the best in the state so you never know.

[@jkirk1626]

5:18. Good, informative video, but get your ass out of the left lane.

[@stevenbean9706]

My 2010 3.2 is junk ill give it away for what payoff is which is around 3500.00 ive replaced everything in it now the ecu needs to be replaced i got the replacement, dealer says only about 50% of em are successful. 50% ! Whats so great about 50% ecu donor success rate ? Just replaced starter cause it wasnt cranking over. Hit brake push key in and it popped fuses. Junk junk junk replaced water pump , alternator, all engine gaskets, battery, serpentine belt , tensioner, blower motor, blower motor relay, map sensor, maf sensor, hi pressure fuel pump, low pressure fuel pump, im sure ive forgot a bunch of stuff ! Money pit junk piece of crap VW product ! You couldnt give me a lambo now ive dealt with this junker !
