DRL dead
Been loving the car since I picked it up in January.. Just got my first problem this weekend and the passenger side DRL is out.. I think it's a common problem so hopefully they'll have the parts to replace it soon~
Anybody else have this problem so soon?

Re: DRL dead
No, haven't done any mods to it but apparently it's a common problem from what I read in US forums. My friend has had the problem twice in a year!
I took it to the dealership last night and they said a lot of the Q5 and Q7 are having this problem. Should take 1-2 weeks to get the parts shipped over~

Re: DRL dead
German cars are known for electrical problems, I guess there is nothing that can be done. I love how instead of fixing they always replace.
48 hours after I picked up my Q5 I see water condensation INSIDE the headlights, took to them they said it's NORMAL. I started laughing so they said there is nothing they can do but when I drove it, it was magically fixed. So in your case once they fix this you'll probably be okay going forward.

Knock on wood. Never had an electrical problem with German cars (and I only drove Oprl, VW and Audi). So far no DRL issues whatsoever. Where do yoi get the stats of 25% from? Does not seem right.

Re: DRL dead
Ah, sorry about that.. I was quite misleading with the 25%. What I meant to say is that 25% of people who voted on a poll had issues (20/80). That in no way is representation of all Q5's since people with trouble are likelier to vote (i assume).
DRL issues? (Poll) - AudiWorld Forums
But the dealer did make it sound like a very common problem when I took my car in. They said it's a manufacturing defect that is they have had to address in several Q5 and Q7.. Hopefully won't happen to any of us again =D
