Beautiful car. This shape A5 is one of the best looking cars they've done IMO.

Hi lads, been having a weird issue with my speaker system in my 2011, A5 Coupe (Black Edition). Every few weeks when the car is running, the driver side door speaker will become distorted and any bass coming from my MMI will crackle, crunch badly meaning it must be turned off. Once the car is...

Well - Audi has had it for 2 days and couldn't re-create the issue. So got the car back with no peace of mind. Worse still, some ****** broke my windscreen over the weekend.

Personal experience - I'd avoid tuning boxes and go for a custom remap always. They rarely increase the BHP to the levels they claim and often cause issues with extended use. Darkside Developments did a video recently on this, I'd have a watch.

Hi lads, thanks for your replies. Had the A5 with my independent mechanic again for 2-3 days. He daily drove it, it never repeated the issue. No codes, nothing of note. He suggested I bring it to Audi who had it for 2 days. Again, they found absolutely nothing off, no codes etc again. They...

Hi all, got a 2011 A5 Coupe (Black Edition/S-Line) with a 2.0 TDI engine (156,000 miles). Back on the 15th April - She was cooling down in neutral after a drive when all of a sudden it stopped running. I tried to restart it and it wouldn't work. Cranking but no ignition. Car was brought by...

Weather improved here again (Ireland) so decided to do a couple of things. Removed the A5 badge, never liked it: 2 bucket wash and some scratch removal and paint chip repair: About to hit 160,000 miles on this 2.0TDI.

Yes, was 100% diesel, always double check.

Hi all, 2011 A5 Coupe with 155,000 miles. Has been a dream since I've owned it and today gave me a bit of a heart attack. Firstly a few things: - Car has never ever had an issue starting, barely even cranking more than 1-2 times before starting up. - Never had any electronic issues, flickering...

Fantastic suggestion, I hadn't even thought of it. I'm considering trying my hand at repairing the diamond cut alloys but I know these are more than tricky. Mostly the edges have superficial marks which could be sanded/compounded/re-clear coated/sealed but my nerves get the better of me...

Pre-Rinse, Foam, 2 Bucket Wash, Dry, Paint Correction, Polish, Ceramic Sealant. Yellow Calipers a recent addition. Nice weather during this Covid-19 stuff! 155,000 miles on the clock!

Only got a court date now. VW dealer came back with - ''you had a 3 month warranty and after that we aren't liable. You didn't service the car with us either so we aren't liable.''

Thanks for the help - I'll give the battery stuff a go.

Hi NHN, thanks for the reply. ^ I have 2 of these type keys with a push ignition (push the key into the slot while keeping the clutch pressed). Yes, it's very strange. Should I be prepared for any fallback on disconnecting the battery?

Hi lads, looking for a bit of expertise on this issue I've been having. ^ My A5. Yesterday I changed out the battery (CR2032) to fix an issue where she was getting less and less responsive with lock/unlocking. Upon doing it, I sat into the car (it unlocked) and when pushing the key into the...

Washed my A5 today in the absolute pouring rain. Crazy or dedicated, not sure. Hadn't cleaned it in 2 weeks and after driving through a particularly bad puddle, it was destroyed. Simple rinse, snow foam wash, 2 bucket wipe down, no drying. I felt better about myself after lol

Apologies about resurrecting an old thread but I my last car (2008 MK5 1.9TDI) was a BXE engine which blew a conrod out of the crankcase at 130k miles. I was doing 60mph in an overtaking lane as I was overtaking another car. I bought it (from a VW dealer) at 113k and it died at 130k. Serviced...

Is remapping a bad idea if your engine / all it's stock components have run up nearly 150k miles though?

Hi all, always wanted to jump onto a forum of like-minded Audi enthusiasts especially considering 3 months ago I joined the club. Got this car for under 10,000 Euros. English imported into Ireland a couple of years ago and owned by a Doctor doing insane motorway miles and a business owner who...

Hey, I own a 2.0TDI 2011 A5 Coupe S-Line Black Edition and even without a remap, it feels more than 170ish BHP. 4th gear is superb. I'd imagine with a remap you'll be quite OK for performance. Have you ever considered a 3.0TDI A5? That engine is absolutely brilliant.
