Audi Q5 EGR problems and delete
An EGR delete on a diesel Q5 is £220 + VAT at your home or workplace, while a new valve has to be fitted by a garage.
Your options for the Q5
| Option | Price | Where |
|---|---|---|
| EGR delete | £220 + VAT | At your home or workplace |
| New EGR valve | Depends on the vehicle, plus fitting | At a garage |
Diagnostics are £100 + VAT. We don't clean EGR valves.
What an EGR delete changes on the Q5
The EGR is switched off in the ECU, so a sticking valve stops causing rough running or limp mode, and its codes are cleared.
Is it worth it on a Q5?
The delete avoids buying a valve that may clog again. If you'd rather fit a new valve, diagnosing first means buying the right part.
EGR delete or a new valve for my Q5?
It depends how the Q5 is used. A £100 + VAT diagnostic confirms the valve is at fault first, then you can weigh the £220 + VAT delete against a garage quote for a new valve.
Is a Q5 EGR delete legal?
Only for a Q5 used off-road or going for export, not one driven on UK public roads. Our guide on whether an EGR delete is legal explains the rules.
Will a new valve on the Q5 clog again?
It can, as soot and oil vapour still pass through it.
