    Mudflaps for facelift A5 S-Line

    Hi, I've just changed my old A3 for a 2015 S-Line coupe and was wondering if anyone has successfully fitted mudflaps to their A5? The OE front flaps fitted no problem but the rears don't seem to fit at all. The part numbers I have are: Front 8T0075111 Rear 8T8075101A

    2007 S3 QUATTRO NOT WORKING HELP HELP

    My TDI quattro done something similar. Front wheels would spin and no faults on the dash. Audi diagnosed it as the oil pump in the haldex and replaced under warranty. The oil pump is quite cheap. Specialist workshop would be best.

    Talk to me about long life servicing :)

    AFAIK the car monitors the ash in the oil and reduces the miles to service accordingly. When you got the car with zero miles the count down mileage would have been identical. With short journeys the oil service can be substantially less than every 19K.

    2.0 TDI(170) Quattro Exhaust

    The 140 quattro has a smaller diameter pipe so all that should be required is different adaptor afaik (which Milltek sell or may be included as it was with mine) Non-res is the only way to go unless you get a turbo back system, there is next to no increase in noise. The only reason I got one is...

    2.0 TDI(170) Quattro Exhaust

    The cat back exhaust for the A3 2.0T FSI quattro fits perfectly. I have it fitted to my 170 quattro. Turbo back it would have to be custom made and probably better just to do a full dpf delete.

    heaters not blowing much!!

    "econ" on means the air conditioning is off (economy mode I think). Would also be worth checking pollen filter isn't clogged up.
