Audi SQ5
The work bus
90% complete
A part exchange very kindly stuffed into me by a customer with no moral barometer, this SQ5 has a plethora of issues. However she stands in defiance of the scrap yard gods and provides us a work bus and daily driver. We try to find out if it is fixable...

1 year in and we have more problems
After a year of ownership things haven't got much better for the cheap SQ5 - here we try to dodge huge repair bill and realise just how expensive these 'cheap luxury' cars can really be.

A heartless customer kindly part exchanged this problem car in, with a hidden and VERY EXPENSIVE fault.
We bought a CHEAP AUDI SQ5 and pretty quickly, things started going wrong. At first, it seemed like a great find... but now we’re wondering if the seller knew something and just didn’t say a word. Was it a simple case of bad luck, or did we just walk straight into a VERY EXPENSIVE MISTAKE?
