In the 2018 Audi Q5, you can find the starter underneath the intake manifold near the top of the engine. This small motor is responsible for cranking the main engine to start the car and maintain combustion. A faulty starter will prevent the car from starting and may produce a clicking sound when you turn the key. Replacing the starter typically costs around $300 to $500 on average, with parts costing about $300 and labor $200. If you decide to remove and replace the starter yourself, plan on spending about an hour and a half and have a wrench handy.

    In the 2018 Audi Q5, the start-stop technology relies on a network of wires for operation. If these wires are faulty, the system may not work properly. Similarly, if the battery charge is low, the start-stop feature may not engage as intended.
