Wow that's one expensive winter package. I got my 18" Audi rims including sensors and 4 sets of winter tires good brand all new installed for $1700.00. I guess as long as it does what it should.

Congrats on the car.

 

Thanks!

Sorry, I should have mentioned that we got a big overall discount on the vehicle so we did not pay this much for the winters when you work in the discount, etc.
That is the amount that was on their line-by-line invoice...

 

That makes, as long as you got a good deal.

 

Uber, I've been looking at the pics of your Q and the dimensions of the driveway where the garages are (they appear to be on both sides). It looks deceivingly tight. Is it difficult to pull in and out of the garage? This has nothing to do with the Q5, but it peaked my curiosity.

 

It is rows of townhouses - it isn't bad at all, we usually back up into our garage so it's easier to get out... Camera at the back really helps!

 

As your Q5 is one of the newer ones on the post did you have the hard metal valve stems for the TPM sensors or the rubber ones?

I'm not sure if the S Line comes with a different setup than a premium, but I am due for delivery in a few weeks and have sourced out new wheels and wanted to know if you needed to add the monitors to your winter set or not?

Thanks.

 

2010 models use passive TPMS. It's set up with the ABS sensors. You do not need any additional wheels sensors for the TPMS system for your upcoming Q5.

 

I second Tony's statement. I of course didn't know this when I bought my winter tires and wasted 180 dollars on sensors which I have in there now but they're useless.

 

Also have a look at this discussion:

Cheers.

 

Agreed.
