2021 Audi Q5 Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Audi? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Audi tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Q5 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Q5 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Q5's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Audi Q5 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Audi. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Audi Q5? Yes, your Audi Q5 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Q5 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
