Just asking for info. I'm looking for a hardback Haynes manual for an 2011 Audi q5 3 litre v6 diesel. I've tried online and can only find downloads, i like to have the book not carry my computer around with me. If anyone knows where to get one. Much appreciated in advance. Steve

I agree, it's got to the point now that find it very difficult to trust any tradesman/company. Mechanics is one of those trades where you do need trust, do they drop the oil or suck it out, do they really change filters etc and of course the hours they charge for labour, did it really take 3 hours or are they adding an hour on because they say it was more difficult than they thought.

That's what I thought, they had no interest in cleaning the DPF, 10 days after that appointment I needed to lift the bonnet to add wind screen wash, Audi had not put the plastic engine cover back. When I went back to complain and get my cover the guy said, I thought that I would get a new DPF. I think that it was a very sloppy service.

Hi, I'm new to this site. I have had problems with my DPF for 4 months, no DPF warning light just engine warning light and flashing coil which put me into limp mode. I was told on 3 occasions that the filter was blocked and couldn't carry out a regen. I took it to Lookers in Guildford (Audi) they had it for a day (£800), they said that they tried 2 times to regen,they couldn't do it so said the only option was a new DPF (£3500). The cars only worth £5000. I booked it in for a DPF clean but while I waiting for the date to arrive I tried a regen with my £220 diagnostic tool (Launch).........It worked, cleared engine light and coil back to full power. It's been a week now. It's only done 85000 miles but I only drive short trips but now I'm doing a longer trip a once a week and using DPF cleaner/Regenerator. I will say that the car worked well just in limp mode. I hope this may help others having the same problem.

Hi, I have a similar problem with loss of power. It started 29/08/24, the car drives fine but is in limp mode with the coil flashing. There hasn't been s DPF warning light although 3 mechanics including Audi, say the DPF is blocked, £800 for Audi to tell me that. Audi said it needs a new DPF (£3500). The problem I have is how long would a car run normally with a blocked DPF, by the end of this month it will be 4 months and as I said, everything works as it always has. fine. My Q5 is 2011 3.0 and has only done 85000 miles. anyone out there had the same problem? Many thanks in advance.
