You're not sounding annoying at all. Not being able to trust your brand new car to start is a major issue. I'm just as concerned.

Providing feedback that you "did experience the engine not starting once already" since getting your injectors replaced is very valuable information. The rest of us with this issue will be more closely monitoring our cars because of it.

Picked up the Q5 today. The service department found the same problem and used the same solution. The injectors were leaking into cylinders 1, 3 and 4. Injectors were replaced on those cylinders. Wish they had just replaced them all, but my fingers are crossed that the other don't fail. On the upside, it starts like never before. Almost instantaneously.

Unfortunately they did not have time to install my new springs.

m450, did your dealer specify whether all or some of the injectors were replaced? I'm guessing they would have only replaced the bad ones. Perhaps the others are leaking now too?

only injector 5 was replaced at the time. I got a call today saying they are going to replace the other 5 injectors. Yeah you are right they should have replaced all 6 at the same time. Well, I am currently dealing with customer relations regarding this issue. I'll see what they'll do for me. Probably nothing lol

I am glad a tleast it's fixed but I can just imagine the hassle you've gone through. Hopefully this won't end up being a recall on the Q5s.

request a new Q5...

Does anyone know if this was just a bad batch of injectors and if so I assume they are using only the good ones in the newly produced Q5's?

That's a good point. The 2 cars impacted with this problem do we know roughly their built dates?

hm.. I bought the car on Nov 22, 09 and received it around mid Dec. My guess for the built date will probably beginning of Oct. I got a standard, hid, panorama roof, and A. grey option because that's is the only one available. It was originally bought for the dealers demo car. Thinking back, if I was not in a rush I should have waited for a Premium with Navi option.

However, I would like to say that even with all the hassles I have gone through I will never settle for other crossovers. Driving the Q5 is fun and enjoyable. I didn't get the same feeling when I test drove the X3, EX35, and GLK. . Also, the exterior appearance and the backseat is WIN.

I couldn't agree with you more, I did 6 months of online researched prior to purchase, practically watched every video and read every single article. Went to the auto show and all, drove the EX, GLK, XC60, X3, RDX, everything in it's class. Every time it came on top. So glad.

I specially appreciate the interior design and quality. The head lights and the large grill is absolutely gorgeous and the drive, that's a different story all together.
