Hello!

I have a problem with my Audi Q5 2009 3.0 S-tronic, mileage 210 000km. When selecting D or R and start moving, I feel vibration. When car is standing, all is good. Also the same is happening when braking and the speed is reaching about 20km/h to zero. At higher speeds there is no problem - switching gears normally and all OK. Problem is only at very low speeds - for example at traffic jam, when accelerating from zero to 5km/h and back to zero, you can feel the vibration. Also the gear change from D1 to D2 seems to be a bit jumpy. When checking the car with VAG, the following error showed up: P157300 - Left engine mount solenoid valve; open circuit. Could it be, that changing the engine mount would solve the problem? I am thinking more, that it is the problem of transmission and I have been advised, that the bigger clutch is worn out. What do you guys think, what may be the issue?

I see nobody has responded. My opinion is that is can be many things, but I would start with inspect and replace if necessary the engine mounts. They are fluid filled and perhaps this is the cause.

Warped brake rotors can cause vibration as well.

Also, inspect for worn universal joint in the driveshaft.

Can't help in regard to DSG transmission.

With these many km's on your vehicle, it could be many items to check.

Could be misfire in one of the cylinders too- I had the same problem with Corolla I thought was transmission turned out it needed a tune-up

I had a similar issue from about 8 km/hr to 60 km/hr and dealership suspected a stone in the rotor. Drove it for a while longer and it disappeared. I did have vibrations at faster speeds previously 45-110ish and it was found to be both front and rear passenger side bearings were shot.

Did you find a solution? My 2013 TFSI is having the same problem and wonder how to fix, thanks buddy!
