Hi Gareth, thanks for this. I don't think my psyche would ever allow me to change the oil twice a year, but take the point about doing it at least once a year. The dashboard count down says I've 22 days to go, so will probably get it done soon after Christmas. Cheers.

Hi Gareth, last service was a year ago and covered just under 4000 miles since then. We have another car and share the mileage so low usage really. I know that the recommendation is at least one oil change a year, but modern synthetic oils are not cheap and I'm sure they are good for a couple of years at least.

Yes, that's what I thought. Thanks for confirming this. I've only done 4000 miles since the last service and am reluctant to have another one just so that they can reset the display. Need to find someone local to just reset the display for a nominal fee.

I have tried all the ways given on google and YouTube to reset my service/inspection notice on my 2014 Q5, but none of them actually work. I find it strange that Audi allow you to change the oil change required notice through the MMI but not the service/inspection notice. Am I correct in saying that the only way to reset this is using a VagCom or OBDeleven device, or is there some other secret way? I have a Fixd OBD2 running both Fixd and Torque Lite software, but can't see how to do it using these. Any advice would be most welcome.

I have experienced my drivers door not opening from the outside and inside, but never both at the same time! On two occasions, in really cold weather the central locking opened all doors except the drivers door. This lasted a few weeks after which it miraculously worked again. Audi quoted me £400 to replace the lock, but I just wait it out. The inside failure was just a snapped cable, which was relatively easy to replace. A couple of obvious questions. Have you tried opening it with a key? The other thing to try is the MMI allows you to select what doors are opened by the central locking, front only or all. Try toggling it a few times to see if that changes anything. Sorry, but can't think of anything else to suggest. The bolts that secure the lock are only accessible with the door open, so it's a catch 22 situation. I wonder what an Audi dealer would do? It may be worth asking them, they may give you some ideas.

Hi, does anyone have a 2014 Q5 wiring diagram, specifically showing connections to the ac compressor? I have unplugged the compressor but looking at the plug can only see one wire connection, presumably the return being through the body. Also, does the compressor work on a 12 volt, on/off basis or is it more complicated than that.
