    Back in an Audi - SQ5

    Feels good to be back. I had owned a B6 Nogaro Avant 6spd a few years back and have missed it. Picked up this Sepang last week and loving it. I believe it has every option other than the cruise control distance monitoring. Figure'd I'd post some pictures. So far I've done the 034 intake with modified air box & afe intake cone. Are their any other simple mods I should look into?

    Also, did Audi make a rear cargo cover that also included the rear privacy screen? My b6 avant had it and I loved it...seems as if the Sq5 has the hooks in the roof for it. IMG_0856.jpgIMG_0857.jpgIMG_0860.jpgIMG_0871.jpgIMG_0872.jpg

    A rear swaybar is a fairly easy and somewhat decently priced mod.

    Ditto that!

    A cargo cover (rear deck) comes stock. You should ask the dealer to ask the previous owner if it's in their garage somewhere.
    I second the 034 RSB and end-links. Lowered or not, it's the best bang for the buck in handling.
    If you're not lowered, don't even bother with the softer setting for two reasons: You'll want the greater stiffness with the higher center-of-gravity, and the end-links will rub the axle in turns.

    Install the 034 Motorsports trans insert. $80 and installs in 5-10 minutes and makes a HUGE difference.

    I think he’s referring to the spots in the headliner to attach the screen to block stuff in the cargo area. The pet guard or whatever it is.
    They come with a rear cargo cover, but they creak really bad. Mine was missing when I purchased the vehicle. The dealership charges about $500 for a new one. Check Ebay. I have one for sale in the classifieds.
