Audio install help please. Tried to install a sub yesterday, and it won't come on. Disconnected battery to install. I have 12v to it and no blown fuses. It has auto sense turn on for high level input that needs min of 1v to turn on. Checked the output from the sub wires (cut the end off the...

I'm getting the opposite info from eveything I'm reading. Seems the S3 can be even more thirsty than the S5. Maybe it's to do with low rev torque in the S5?

So you're saying there was a difference between the S3 and S5 then? It's just that I've around and had replies in other places and it seem the S5 is around the same MPG if not a bit better

Yeah I reckon it's something I will get done anyway if I can't see it being done from a previous owner. I had plans for the S3 or A5 to have mods and remaps and alsorts done anyway. With the S5 I'll just get a decent exhaust and the carbon clean and that's proabbly it except for the extra bass...

I was looking at the B&O when I was considering the 2.0TFSI or the 3.0TDI and have seen a few vids on it. I'll do what I do in all my cars and add in an extra boot sub anyway but it does sound epic. I can do the spark plugs myself and oil change myself. I've seen my neighbour fix his brakes so...

Thanks for the reply It's not that I'm that worried about fuel economy I guess, though maybe I made it sound like that, I was just worried it was gonna be vastly more than a 2L turbo petrol Being doing some digging and came across this...

Been looking at getting the S3 but I love the A5 coupes so much. Was originally gonna get the 3.0tdi and then add mods etc but there's so many issues these days with diesels with swirl flaps, EGRs, DPFs etc that I dropped the idea and decided on the S3. I only do a 25 mile round trip to work...

I was thinking about getting an S3 8P and have been reading up a fair bit but then I thought about the S5 B8. Looking at the MPG they aren't that disimilar. Seems through normal driving the S3 will be in the low 20s and the S5 will be around 20. Both seem to drop drastically with heavy foot...

Link doesn't take you to the advert, it takes me to my own account...

sorry, between 2006 and 2008

I think you're right on your other reply. I haven't bought it yet but looking into the codes them BMN is for the 170 between 2006 and 2007 and from that other link the B codes aren't affected on the A3

Thanks for the info

Thanks for the reply care to elaborate on why not as the topic seems to say ALL 2.0 TDi up to 2009 are affected. What makes you convinced it's not?

Hey Would the 170bhp 2006 be affected by this? https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/worn-oil-pump-hex-drive-shaft-on-my09-2-0-tdi.274775/
