    S5 Exhaust Valve Mod

    I do, it's much nicer to have the growl all the time.

    Insurance: "Is your car fitted with a tracking device?"

    No , but you should have adequate protection on your phone so that anyone who steals your phone shouldn't be able to access anything anyway.

    Lag - Delay - Hesitation

    nope. does it from standstill/1st. but yes sticking it in sport does get rid of most of it so thats what i've learnt to do every time i come to a stop (else i just drive around in sport most of the time). not ideal, but imo much safer being able to pull out of junctions/roundabouts without...

    S5 Exhaust Valve Mod

    Unclipping is simple when you understand how the clips work. Push the grey bits out and push down/pinch the now slightly extended bit. Pull. Just not 100% sure at what point all valves are actually open!

    Tech Pack High review

    yeah thats what i end up doing, sending it via myaudi. very handy and much quicker than doing it whilst in the car. only use the news/weather when i'm sitting in the car waiting for somebody tbh. and even then, it's a bit better (albeit ostensibly illegal) to just pick up the phone and...

    My first Audi and my first estate. A little advice please.

    I would assume that the MPG would be pretty superior .... but what is it you are looking for in a car? What size engine are you coming from? 1.4 on a car that weighs that much doesn't sit well with me, I would assume that it would struggle if it had much weight in there (and that, after all...

    8th Gear not selectable

    My S5 goes to 8th cold or warm, dynamic or Eco, and can select it manually as well. I'd take to the garage mate if it continues to behave like this. Especially on longer motorway journeys. I would kinda expect it if you're town driving and not ever going above 30-40 though.

    Tech Pack High review

    not sure what comes with tech pack high.. the tech pack in my brochure included fancy MMI with touch control (already standard in S5) audi connect services (already standard in s5) and audi phone box (don't have) I must say that the audi connect services and the enhanced MMI are pretty good...

    Insurance: "Is your car fitted with a tracking device?"

    I essentially asked this the other day - http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/android-audi-mmi-app-track-car-if-in-use.331274/#post-3036715 Basically from what I can tell, insurance firms won't acknowledge it unless you can track at any given moment... and for some inexplicable reason Audi only...

    Car Jack?

    I needed a jack the other day for my other car and it was easier to get to the S5 to grab that one, I opened up the boot, took the boot bit up and had a good look around the wheel and under it, couldn't for the life of me find a jack?! Where is it? It must have one, right? if there're...
