Being the target of recurring problems on your car is especially irritating, furthermore the economic aspect that these complications represent, one must also add the time lost with a non-operational Audi Q5 and the time spent to detect and remedy the breakdown. On the other hand, some problems are less major than others, which is not to say that they do not stress us. Today we are going to check out a trouble that can affect many of us, having vibrations at acceleration on Audi Q5. This trouble can in some cases be complex to perceive but it must be handled. We will consequently start our content with the roots of these vibrations on Audi Q5, then, with the solutions you have to reduce or stop these tremors.

Why does my Audi Q5 make vibrations when accelerating?

So let’s start our content with the roots of this kind of trouble on your car. You should already know that an engine, especially if it is old or if it has been driven quite a lot, can naturally vibrate without being a trouble behind it. Large diesel engines, especially those with a lot of torque, can provoke this sort of feeling, both at idle and when accelerating.

I feel vibrations on my Audi Q5 only when accelerating

Let’s take the most interesting circumstance for us in this content. The fact that you come to feel trembling on your Audi Q5 during your acceleration periods, in this scenario you will have to check the condition of some components because a good number of elements can be at the starting point of these vibrations and whether or not you are unfortunate a combination of several of them may also be possible, here is the list of parts that can be concerned.

  • Turbo: If the turbo of your Audi Q5 is defective, it may provoke vibrations that you will feel when you accelerate at the moment it is turned on.
  • The turbo pressure sensor: This sensor will manage the pressure exerted in the turbo of your car, if it fails it may disturb the performance of your turbo and generate vibrations that you may experience during acceleration of your Audi Q5.

    • .

  • If the turbo is punctured or harmed, the consequence will be the same, the power supply of your turbo will be troubled and its performance too. Make sure to visually check their state.

I’m having vibrations on my Audi Q5 at acceleration and deceleration

We will now concentrate on the scenario where you experience vibrations on your Audi Q5 when you are accelerating but also when you are idling. If you only experience vibrations when you are idling on your Audi Q5, please have a look at our content focused upon this trouble to resolve your problem. If, on the other hand, you identify that your Audi Q5 vibrates when accelerating but also when it is stopped, here is the list of things to check:

  • EGR valve: In actual fact this valve which handles the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and disrupt the evacuation of exhaust gases which can provoke Audi Q5 vibrates when accelerating but also when stopped.
  • Injectors: Your injectors that regulating the fuel/air mixture flow may be dirty or damaged, which will discharge the wrong amount of mixture and thus prevent your engine block from working properly, it is even possible that one or more of your cylinders are not running correctly.
  • Fuel Filter: Like the injectors, if the filter is clogged it will not let the fuel pass correctly and therefore disrupt the performance of your Audi Q5, up to the point of producing vibrations during acceleration.

Here are the most important motives of a Audi Q5 that vibrates at acceleration

What can I do to stop the vibration when I accelerate on my Audi Q5? What can I do?

To conclude, in this last section, we will tell you the answers available to you to handle these tremors on your car when you accelerate. Here is the best attitude to adopt based on the component that is concerned:

  • Turbo: If your turbo starts all these vibrations when you accelerate your Audi Q5, it will be good for you to control all the parts linked to it because changing a complete turbo is a big budget and in most cases the trouble does not come directly from the turbo. So remember to check out your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your Audi Q5 to your workshop.
  • EGR valve: The EGR valve has the benefit that it is quite often easy to access and easy to disassemble/clean. You can always examine it and clean it, for this see our content on cleaning the EGR valve of an Audi Q5.
  • Injectors: Injectors are very sensitive parts and a few impurities may be enough to disrupt their performance. Use a fuel additive to simply clean the injectors, if this is not enough you will have to go to a professional.
  • Fuel Filter: If it is the fuel filter, only replace it. A fuel filter doesn’t clean itself, so if it is clogged you will simply have to replace it with a new one.

Now you have all the information you need to locate the origin of the vibrations at acceleration on your Audi Q5. If you don’t feel able to complete certain procedures don’t hesitate to go to your technician.
