    3.0 TDI Water Sloshing Sound

    On a side note of water sloshing noise - my 2019 S5 has similar noise from the drivers side (Right Hand Drive) and I traced the noise to the windscreen washer bottle! When its depleting, the water has more room to slosh and the noise intrudes into the cabin as the bottle is housed at the rear of...

    New Audi A5/S5 picture thread

    @Bells @ Simonwhite2000 do you have the part numbers for those RS5 rear lights? They look stunning and fancy them on my Quantum down here in Aus.

    Door lock cover

    Depends if you want subtle or standout. Do you have red brake calipers? Could go well if you get the red as grey/red combo works well, but equally the grey/black will be nice... all comes down to personal preference mate; i'd opt for the red on my quantum grey as they'd tie in with the red...

    Anyone has 35% tints done?

    Just as well I live in Australia then mate :) When it comes to Australian regulations, standards, laws, rules and guides for vehicle window tinting it is commonly accepted to have a car window tint of no less than 35% Visible Light Transmission (VLT). Both 35% and 50% VLT are legally suitable...

    Anyone has 35% tints done?

    Not a B9, but had my S5 F5 fronts tinted to 35% to match the rear privacy glass. No issues with visibility.

    Audi MMI and Android Pie - Email Issue / Question / Advice needed

    Thanks for the response cuke2u. Indeed, i'm erring towards the email app as backdated / factory reset an old Galaxy phone lying about in a drawer and the email app pushes through with no issues as before Pie/app updated. Back to trawling to find what was updated in the app... Interestingly...

    Audi MMI and Android Pie - Email Issue / Question / Advice needed

    Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with their B9 A/S5 MMI where emails no longer alert when driving? My work phone is a Galaxy S9 and before the update to Pie v9 (from Oreo v8) was syncing emails as they arrived with the helpful alert tone through the MMI and icon in the...

    Audi A4 Avant TFSI 1.4 2017 Sport fuel economy!

    WOW! I manage 28-32mpg driving my S5 about on the daily commute of 60% motorway and 40% non-motorway (and about 8mpg when on a blast) Stop/Start traffic and a bad traffic light sequence will always kill the fuel efficiency on any heavy car causing it to use 1st -3rd and drink fuel.

    New A5 - 45,000 miles in

    Interesting. My S5 does a similar thing. First thing in the morning the pedal doesn't move (its as you describe; being pressed repeatedly until firm) and when I start the car, the pedal pressure is released and off we go. Park and come back a few hours later and no issues. Next morning, solid...

    40 TFSI - MPG

    Long term average is 11.8l/100km but that is mainly in comfort mode on the daily commute of 70km round trup with 45km of motorway in the S5. If in dynamic/manual.... well the short term goes through the roof to about 38l/100km :whistle2:

    Audi Insurance

    Audi Insurance wanted an extra $1000 compared to who I went with and for less cover and higher excess. Their comments were "we know what an S5 is and how much it costs to repair / replace"

    A5 Lead Times?

    She has arrived! Only took 5 months, but she is all mine now! (bow and all!)

    A5 to A7?

    Went into the dealership to look at the new Q5 (trade the S3 in for one due to new baby and the misses needs more space for pram etc), so whilst she was faffing about in the Q5 (3.0 TDI Sport - same power as our S3, but more torque and friendlier on the fill ups), I took the new A7 out (only...

    A5 Lead Times?

    My S5 has finally landed in Australia after lengthy shipping delays due to the Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs, fumigation off South Africa and AU Pest Inspections/Quarantine! Scheduled pick up 18th Feb! Cannot wait! From order to pick up will be just short of 5 months

    Tyre and nail question

    As above - repair mate. As long as the nail/screw hasnt compromised the tyre structure or wall structure = repair everyday of the week. And deff agree with @Bobblejones - replace 2x at a time on Quattro to avoid strain on the train over time with uneven tyre circumfrences etc.

    Dislikes

    Love my S3, but annoyances would be the rotary knob which way to turn for up down is out of sync with how my brain would turn the know to scroll! Id turn right to go up, but it goes down! Oh and Audi brake pads with the amount of dust they create!

    Dislikes

    Enjoy being able to turn it off with a button as soon it will be hard coded into all cars without the button/physical manual option and you'll have to use VCDS or alternative to disable the damn thing!

    BMW Experience?

    Before placing the order for my incoming S5, I went and test drove the 440... it was a great car mechanically and put a grin on my face from handling and noise factor, but..... it still felt like my old 2000 330 I had back in the UK with a tablet slapped to the dash! The dials were the same, the...
