My Audi Q5 TDI 2.0 (2011 model) AdBlue warning light is on with 1000 kms. AdBlue warning light is still on after refill 10 litres of Adblue.

I believe you're saying that the AdBlue low warning is saying that you have 1000 KMS 'remaining' before the vehicle will not start.
What I do not see you advise is, if after refilling did you drive the vehicle?? It takes about 3 minutes of driving for the sensors to recognize the new level from filling.
Just starting the engine doesn't do it.

That is plenty! 2.5 gallons+
I have put a half gallon bottle in mine before to get the light to go off until I could buy larger containers.
I also have heard some simply won't reset without VAG. That's unfortunate and also not supposed to be proper under Magnuson Moss / FTC here is the US anyway.

some of the early models did not reset by them selves and required a diagnostics tool, but IIRC there was supposed to be some sort of software update/tsb that fixed that behavior..

I been my mechanic and he checked with a diagnostics tool, no reset option. I am supposed to go to Audi Service tomorrow. Surprisingly, the Adbule yellow warning light went off this morning after 30 kms highway drive. Thank you for everyone advices.
