2018 Audi A5 Sportback Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Audi's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Audi A5 Sportback? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem.

  • How often does my A5 Sportback transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Audi A5 Sportback’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Audi, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
