Abstract: We prove a bound for quintilinear sums of Kloosterman sums, with congruence conditions on the "smooth" summation variables. This generalizes classical work of Deshouillers and Iwaniec, and is key to obtaining power-saving error terms in applications, notably the dispersion method. As a consequence, assuming the Riemann hypothesis for Dirichlet $L$-functions, we prove a power-saving error term in the Titchmarsh divisor problem of estimating $su{m}_{pleqx}au(p-1)$. Unconditionally, we isolate the possible contribution of Siegel zeroes, showing it is always negative. Extending work of Fouvry and Tenenbaum, we obtain power-saving in the asymptotic formula for $su{m}_{nleqx}a{u}_k(n)au(n+1)$, reproving a result announced by Bykovskiu{i} and Vinogradov by a different method. The gain in the exponent is shown to be independent of $k$ if a generalized Lindel"of hypothesis is assumed.
