    alloy wheel disposal

    Hi, My mate hit a pot hole and bent one of my wheels. I've ordered a new alloy online and was wondering where to get rid of the old one. The tyre is still on it too. Is there anywhere round Bristol area that would take the metal for scrap? Lee

    First service for my S5...costs?

    Hey, My new S5 is about 9months old and clocked up a little under 15,000 miles. The 'service due' message has just started popping up and I was wondering how much a standard service for an S5 at Audi costs (in the UK)? I have an A3 and that seems to have fixed price service costs but I...

    DPF Advice?

    They did an emergency regen and replaced one of the sensors. The car actually died yesterday and I managed to get it to the Audi near my work who said there is a fault showing on a DPF sensor (don't know if it was the same as was replaced originally). They replaced it and let me drive back to...

    DPF Advice?

    Hi, The DPF on my A3 ('57 170 TDI) has just died 6 weeks before my new S5 arrives and Audi quoted just over 2 grand to get it replaced. At the moment the car is stuck in limp mode and I have to drive 40miles up the M5 everyday. Bit scary on the way home tonight crawling with the lorries...

    Ordered the S5...build week question?

    Just got my build week, scheduled for week 20 (mid May) which is what they estimated when I ordered so not too bad. The dealer tells me that once allocated they normally get bought forward, anyone had this happen? I normally read stories of the opposite happening...

    Ordered the S5...build week question?

    Folks, So ordered the S5 Coupe Black Edition yesterday. Dealer tells me that build week 20 (May) is the next free slot. Though saying that they reckon they might be able to move things around or pinch a cancelled slot. So anyone had any success getting pushed up the queue, are the chances of...

    24hour Test Drive

    I'm down in Bristol so quite a few dealers around here (though think they are pretty much all owned by the same group). Gonna ask if they can get Audi UK to send them an S5 demo...even a 30min spin is better than nothing. Mate, must of felt like a long 4 months. Hope you get your car soon.. Lee

    24hour Test Drive

    No joy, offered an S6 as a similar alternative for an 30min accompanied test drive... What was the lead time on your A5? I'll probably get a fair few options but hopefully wont be waiting for ages... Cheers

    24hour Test Drive

    All, Do Audi allow 24h test drives? I'm looking to get a new S5 and was wondering if audi let you take one home for the night? BMW dealers do 24h loans and have a few mates that have had that recently. Don't know anyone who has managed to get one from audi though cheers Lee

    Selling to places like "We buy any Car"

    All, I have a 57 plate A3 S-Line TDi 170. I do an 80 mile round trip motorway commute and its got 98k miles on the clock. Its starting to show its age, it runs fine but sometimes the power is jerky under acceleration and with hard acceleration it can vibrate quite badly (probably a wiring loom...
