    Spoke to Audi Hull today about fitting a bar to my 09 Q5. The fan upgrade is to the rad fans not Ecu. There is a possibility on engine/ gear box overheating when towing a caravan especially in warmer country's. Easy to monitor via temp gauge. They want £2000 to fit. Best quote for a fixed bar was £350 fitted.

    If your Q5 is indeed a 2011 then it will have all of the necessary upgrades as standard (This was done a standard from Sept 2010 I believe), the easiest way to check is to look in the right hand rear pannel for two plugs wrapped in foam. These are the Tow prep harnesses (1 for tow lights and standard electrics, the other plug for 2nd electrics i.e. fridge power) which means that the fans have been upgraded too.

    I fitted a Thule removable towbar myself, it took all of 1 hour and was super simple. Just remember some one will need to VCDS / VAGCOM your car to code it for rear parking sensors etc.
    Hi there I see you fit your own towbar on the q5 any tips or info on the wiring just bought one for my 2012 with dedicated wiring
    Many thanks
