A used Audi Q5 gearbox starts from around R14,500, with reconditioned units up to about R34,500 depending on the exact box, condition and warranty. Tell us your year and engine and verified suppliers across South Africa come back to you with prices, warranties and availability.
The Q5 runs these 3 gearboxes — match yours by VIN and engine, then request a free quote.
Code: DL501 / 0B5 · 7-speed automatic
The longitudinal 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch in quattro A4/A5/Q5. Mechatronic circuit-board faults are common on 2009–2013 units. Note: later B9/C7-facelift cars may use the DL382 instead — confirm by VIN before buying.
Code: DL382 / 0CJ / 0CK / 0CL · 7-speed automatic
The DL382 is the 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch that replaced the DL501 on the B9 A4 (2016+), the A5 and the Q5 FY 2.0 TFSI — a different, newer unit. A pre-2016 B8 car runs the DL501, so confirm your build year by VIN. The Q5 FY / SQ5 3.0 uses a ZF 8-speed tiptronic instead, not this S-tronic. Usually quoted on request.
Code: ZF 5HP / 6HP / 8HP · 5–8 speed automatic
Tiptronic is a conventional ZF torque-converter automatic (not a dual-clutch). Used on the Q7 and larger quattro models. Robust but a heavier-ticket box — supplier warranty terms matter.
| Model / Gearbox | Price Range (ZAR) |
|---|---|
| A4 B8 / A5 / Q5 8R quattro — DL501 7-spd S-tronic (2008–2016) | R15,000 – R25,000 |
| A4 B9 / A5 / Q5 FY — DL382 7-spd S-tronic (2016+) | POA — request a quote |

Looking for a used Audi Q5 gearbox in South Africa? Engine Finder connects you with verified suppliers and scrapyards who handle Q5 gearboxes — you submit one enquiry and request a quote, and matched suppliers come back to you. The catch with the Q5 is that it's quattro across the range, and Audi fitted more than one automatic. The 8R (2008–2016) 2.0–3.0 typically runs the DL501 (0B5) 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch (roughly R15,000–R25,000 used), but some 8R variants use a ZF 8-speed tiptronic torque-converter auto instead (around R14,500–R34,500). The newer FY 2.0 TFSI moved to the DL382 (0CJ) S-tronic, while the FY/SQ5 3.0 uses the ZF 8-speed. These share no parts, so confirm your exact box by VIN before buying.
The Q5's DL501 S-tronic is the box owners ask about most — mechatronic circuit-board faults are common on 2009–2013 units, often felt as jerky shifts, hesitation or a flashing gear display, and the mechatronic is sometimes quoted separately from the full gearbox. The ZF 8-speed tiptronic is generally tougher but still needs periodic fluid changes despite the old 'sealed for life' label. On the newer FY cars, a 2.0 TFSI runs the DL382 while the SQ5 3.0 runs the ZF 8-speed — different units entirely. Whatever the symptom, confirm the exact box by VIN before quoting.

It depends on which box your Q5 has. A used DL501 (0B5) 7-speed S-tronic — the common 8R quattro unit — typically runs around R15,000–R25,000. Where an 8R or SQ5 uses the ZF 8-speed tiptronic instead, expect roughly R14,500–R34,500 depending on condition. The newer FY 2.0 TFSI DL382 (0CJ) S-tronic is price-on-application as stock is scarcer. Fitment and labour are extra — submit your VIN and request a quote from verified suppliers for an accurate figure.
The Q5 is quattro throughout, so it never uses the front-wheel-drive Multitronic CVT. Most 8R (2008–2016) cars run the DL501 (0B5) 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch, but some 8R variants were fitted with the ZF 8-speed tiptronic torque-converter auto instead. The FY 2.0 TFSI uses the newer DL382 (0CJ) S-tronic, while the FY/SQ5 3.0 runs the ZF 8-speed. Because the split is genuinely messy, only your VIN confirms which box you have.
It can be either, which trips buyers up. The DL501 (0B5) and DL382 (0CJ) S-tronic units are dual-clutch gearboxes, while the ZF 8-speed tiptronic is a conventional torque-converter automatic — fitted to some 8R variants and to the SQ5 3.0. They share no parts and aren't interchangeable, so sourcing the wrong type wastes time. Give the supplier your VIN so they confirm whether you need the S-tronic or the ZF tiptronic before quoting.
Because the Q5 spans the DL501 S-tronic, the DL382 S-tronic and the ZF 8-speed tiptronic — with the 8R split being especially ambiguous — the only reliable check is your VIN. It pins down your exact build year, engine and gearbox code so a supplier matches the right unit first time. Tell suppliers whether you have a pre-2016 8R or a newer FY, add your engine and VIN to the enquiry, and Engine Finder will route it to verified suppliers who can quote.
