Re: DRL dead
No, all the issues I had was covered under the warranty but I was wondering how much I would have to pay if they were not covered. Sooner or later, we will run out of warranty, and we have to pay for the up keeps.
No, I still have the vibrating issues at low speed (like backing out from garage etc.) and I briefly mentioned to the service rep, they said it is normal. I will monitor the situation though.Sorry if I didn't make myself clear
Good luck with your DRL issues. Take Care.

Re: DRL dead
So far there is the:
1) DRL
2) Engine mis-fire
3) Lose head light bulb
4) Head light condensation
5) Whining noise in steering wheel.
I am hoping to address 1 and 2 together this week (both known problem so should be easy)
Number 3 was pure bad luck they fixed it.
Number 4 was so strange, it happened hours after I picked up the car, they fixed it.
Number 5 well no a big deal but the noise was in fact there and they fixed it.
There is also the known issues where the steering wheel vibrates (sometimes) when the car is still and when you turn it. Audi said this is a known issues but no solution yet.

2) They ran a complete diagnostic on my car and didn't find any engine mis-fire issues. But the issue does exist with some Q5s.
Everything is fixed.

Re: DRL dead
Yes, it happens only that brief second when the car is starting and it only happens intermittently not always. They can easily pick up on it through diagnostics. It doesn't harm the car in any way. I was lucky in my case it was just my imagination.

Re: DRL dead
I am not sure whether you remember or not but I had the same/similar problem before and it was due to fuel injector leaking thus flood the engine when it starts once in a while. fianlly they changed 4 out of 6 fuel injectors for me and it is working fine now. If you need details, please let me know.

Re: DRL dead
Thanks very much Eddie, now that you mention it I do recall.
These guys swore up and down that the diagnostic scan came back negative and that I don't have the mis-fire issue. I hope they're right.
And to correct my statement above, they did in fact change DRL modules on BOTH sides even the side that was working.
The issue is not with the LED lights themselves, rather with the LED control module.

initiated the following from audizine.com forum, please referred to the following site, I got my mis-fire problem fixed because of the replies. I should have sent this to you earlier. I have downloaded a copy and took it to my dealer and ask them specifically to look into the fuel injectors. I was the same after they diagnostic scan came back negative the first time, then on the 2nd time I mentioned the above. I apologize for not sending to you earlier. Hope this helps.engine stall 2010 Q5
