neil993 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Hi all, my name is Neil and i am new to this site. I have just bought a 2014 Q5 S Line +, the only problem i have so far is that when when ever i set off and get above 10 mph it sounds like the central locking is locking then unlocking, or the other way round and this happens everytime i stop. Is this normal? Thankyou in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Welcome Neil, and thanks for joining. It sounds as if it’s trying to lock the car, as it should do with the ‘drive away’ locking- or whatever it is called - whereby the vehicle locks itself at speeds above an arbitrary 8mph. Not sure, but my initial stab at it would be a suspect driver door lock - hopefully others might be more specific for you. All in all, it sounds like getting it plugged in for faults, and/or the need for the services of an auto electrician. Perhaps you could keep us posted Neil. Kind regards, Gareth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil993 Posted August 20 Author Share Posted August 20 Thanks for that Gareth, I have changed the drivers lock yesterday thinking that would solve it but it hasn't. I will.get it plugged in and see it that shows anything. Thankyou again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the new lock have an integral switch, or did you attach the old switch. The other thing to look at is the wiring between door and pillar. The wires had a habit of breaking in the older A3s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil993 Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 Morning Clifford, I bought a new Actuator and had the mechanics at work fit it for me, sorry i don't know what the integral switch this is what i bought. Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Neil. I imagine that has all the necessary connections. The next step is to inspect and test the wiring harness to the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil993 Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 Hi Cliff, I will have a look at that this weekend and see if anything stands out to me. Thankyou for you help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
