    Tuning S5 4.2 V8

    I knew the RS4 had a different head on it, but didn't realize the bottom end was different too, I always thought about putting some of the RS4 bits on the S4 cab, think the general concencus is to do the supercharged V6, they are really responsive to tuning and can easily be running at 400+ BHP.

    Hello A5 club, in need of some urgent advice please!

    Likely to be manifolds, my A4 3.0 had the same issue, but then they are complex beasts, the Q7s comes on with a fuel pressure sensor playing up from time to time, hope you get to the bottom of it and that it isnt too expensive

    Hello A5 club, in need of some urgent advice please!

    Cat D? It was the right decision to walk away from that one, sounds like he has ragged the nuts off the car too reading his thread, keep on looking, a clean unmolested one will turn up.

    Karls 3.0 TDI build thread

    Fascinating thread, looking at the tuning options for my A5 3.0 TDI, I particularly like the straight though back boxes, when researching, there was a guy on youtube that cut his off his A6 and rolling roaded to show hoe restrictive it was, I was thinking of just a remap and doing something with...

    Hello A5 club, in need of some urgent advice please!

    Went across from an A4 B7 3.0TDI to an A5 3.0TDI and have not looked back, in all a fantastic car, even better when NHN put cruise control on for me, I get about 43 mpg on a run without taking it too gently, but there have been some issues though, I had some missing fuses causing issues with...

    Your opinion please S5 vs A5 3.0 TDI (Sportback)

    Slightly off topic, but my dad and I put our 2004 V8 S4 tiptronic cab with 340BHP I think, and 13,000 miles on the clock against my 2008 manual 3.0tdi A5. The A5 was as fast with a decent launch off the line, but the S4 pulled ahead a higher speeds. Not bad for a 74,000 TDI that has yet to have...

    Xenon headlight fault

    Upon further research it could be the J519 module that has gone faulty (onboard power supply module) as this was throwing up faults about no power going to the DRLS and fogs. If it was ballasts or xenon controller I would have thought both foglights would work as they are nothing to do with the...

    Xenon headlight fault

    I have searched, but not found what I was looking for. My 2007 A5 3.OTDI with factory HID lights has encountered a problem. The right headlight has completely died, no DRL, xenon light, indicator or drivers side fog, the left headlights is working normally. NHN recently fitted cruise and said...

    Towing with the B7 help

    Not quite the same, but my new A5 has the same type tow bar, not towed with it yet though, but our Q7 of the same age had the factory tow pack and that did have two little arrows like indicators lit up green on the dash when the electrics are connected, is it a big issue for you? Do towing...

    New A5 or stick with my A4?

    haha, yeah, the estates are so practicle, an S4 avant would have been on the cards as the 3.0TDIs are strong money for a well speced on, I had roof racks for bikes for my avant, but i need a new feet pack, this A5 does have a detachable tow bar though, so I could put a rack on that.

    New A5 or stick with my A4?

    Interesting read, just done a similar swap, from an A4 (B7) to and A5, being a generation ahead, the car is smoother, quicker and quieter, but I'm sure I will kick myself at some point for getting a coupe and ditching the Avant and favoring looks overt practicality, doing building work and...

    New Car

    Hi guys, new to the A5 area and have come across from the B7 section. I changed my car yesterday from a 2007 3.0tdi 233 A4 Avant S line, to a silver 2008 3.0TDI SE. I thought I would introduce myself in this section. My A5 is Silver, with grey 19" wheels, with black leather, B&O, MMI, and LED...

    The B7 has gone

    I know they can take the millage, but it was easier to out the car at 98,000 than 100,000+ flickr seems to have changed and I haven't worked out how to upload some pictures of the cars. Thanks NHN for the input, PM sent hopefully.

Will definitely put some pictures up later, did a 120 mile drive in it tonight, did 39.7 mpg...

    The B7 has gone

    So with a heavy heart I bid farewell the my B7 3.0 TDI Quattro Avant 233bhp. I have learnt a great deal on here and would like to thank you guys, I also hope that I have been of help. I did a few mods including retrofitting cruise control. It was hover getting a bit long on the tooth and about...

    oem halogen headlights adjustment LHD / RHD???

    I know the lever that you mean, I had the same on my previous A3, I doubt the B7 halogen unit does as it has a reflector instead of a projector. I am not 100% sure though as I had OEM HID in my B7. Hope that may help.
