Hello Dezza I bought the same for my wife, new on an 11 plate. It is truely a beautiful car but it does drink. I don't look at fuel consumption in scrutiny but I do know it tanks up on about £70 and only when I am driving it (with the kids in the back being the only time) do we get anywhere near...

And there was me thinking that people offered assistance and tried to help one another rather than provide unhelpful advice. I can assure you that I am at the other end of the spectrum when it comes to taking without the owners consent.

No more stupid questions - just sensible answers....... You may be surprised to hear that if you have access to the car you can get around the locked boot problem. Fortunately, there was some helpful advice that went alongside the sarcastic comments. Lets hope you are never stoopid enough to...

Thank's for that most helpful bit of information. About as useful as a chocolate tea pot!!!!!! You'll be pleased to know someone did actually mail directly with some sensible advice - I'll test it and find out whether or not its possible.

Hello All Yesterday afternoon, at school pick up time, my wife threw the kids stuff into the boot, closed it (it locks upon closure) and then realised that the keys had been tossed in alongside the kids bags, coats and books. There was a frantic call to me at work, what she expected me to be...

Hello there I spoke with my insurance and having this done pushed up my premium to much so I decided not to go with it. Sorry can't share any positive information about it. Let me know how you get on and how it performs. Cheers Simon

hello ruby from walsall - what are you getting???

Hello All I have had the A5 Cab now for 6 weeks and just can't get my bum on the drivers seat; my wife beats me to it every time.. There is an SD Reader in the dash and I wanted to find out where I can find instructions on how load music files on to it and what to do with this once I have...

Funny that, the car came from Hatfield and the Sales rep said that if they done it we would be in the £1K region. He suggested Richter in Milton Keynes as the people who they recommend.

I was pretty shocked when I had to go and tank up, it was a big drop from what was touted in the showroom. But then I have been rather enthusiastic with breathing on the accelorator shall we say. Will let you know how I get on. .

Gentlemen Thanks very much for your comments. I can't be far off the mid point between Reading and Hemel so will have a chat with both of them and find out what they say. IwBen - your car looks very slick, I really do like the look of your wheels - hope that they are secured well and your...

Hello All Recently collected collected the above on an 11 plate and have read alot on here about remaps. Can someone explain what they do and how it improves the cars performance? I am based in Herts, who is recommended locally? Thanks SB

Morning All I have recently ordered a new A5 Cab and have decided as the part exchange offered by the dealer was so poor to sell it privately - the question is where is it likely to be exposed the most to serious buyers and what should my target price be? Its a 57 plate in silver with a bose...

Afternoon All Currently have an A4 2.0 TDI S Line Cab and on 19/02 ordered and A5 2.0 Quattro S Line, have been told that the build week for it is week 15 (middle of April) so should be in it by the middle of May. Had a problem with the PX that was offered for the existing A4 Cab (£13250)...
