yeah i was wonderin about it and when i saw it i was like yeahh it was only a matter of time. Geez these 2009 Q5's have quite a few issues...

so how many of us have had this DRL issue? is it just for 2009's? and when Audi fixes it, is it a good fix or just a temp?

Of course they did! No fails in cars with arrival after Nov 09. Stats gathered to date:
Total Q5 recorded.. 472
Total Q5 pre Dec 09 183
total with DRL fails 21 (now 22, adding edwyun)
Thats cars, some had both sides fail, some more than once. Some had both sides replaced despite only one side fail.
The #s hardly stack up to a recall do they?

Sorry newbie q: what is a DRL and should I be waiting for it to happen on my 2010 3.0 TDI?

DO you think the watter pump is also a risk?

Thanks!
