I am looking at a 2014 SQ5 with 60,000 miles. I have done a decent amount of research on the SUV but was wanting to know from owners (Q5 also) what to look for or concerns? I have always serviced all my own vehicles unless it is something I feel I cannot handle. Will that be possible with a Audi? Research on the motor looks solid. Could it make it to the mid 100,000 or 200,000 without anything besides average service? Any glaring issues with first gen SQ5's I should be aware of? Thanks for the groups consolidated knowledge in advance.
May be a contributing member soon!

I would think with the reg maint service at the mileage it should have no problem going over 100k if all the reg service has been done the 1st 60k.

Thanks Shok. We usually hang onto our vehicles for awhile. There is always the unplanned that can pop up but most vehicles seem to have consistent weak points to watch for. I just wondered if anyone else had an SQ5 that had higher miles and if anyone in the community had common issues to look out for.

My 14 SQ5 has been faultless bar one DRL control module failure which was covered under CPO warranty. Now at 120,000k (75,000 miles).

Thanks TP!
That's what I like to hear.

I'm bringing in my 2014 SQ5 today for the 100K service...
My only complaint so far has been a small air leak/noise coming from the front of the sunroof...I think it needs to be tightened down.

Oil changes every 5K miles...that's my only obsession!

Jason,
Thanks. Another positive response.

Update...

My 2014 SQ5 (w/ 100K) needs motor mounts...They are leaking fluid and need to be replaced.
Ugh!

Stop flooring it every chance you get! lol

What's the fun in that?!
I'm in discussion with Audi (via my dealer) to see if they will cover motor mounts, since I have the 100K warranty from the CPO.
The problem is that my car has 101,500 miles on it! I made the service appointment a few weeks ago, but the dealer didn't have a loaner available, so I waited until 3/19.
The dealer has been great so far, so I hope they'll go to bat for me with good results.

Sorry to hijack the thread!
