I am in the process of changing from A4 2.0TFSi Quattro Special Edition (229 BHP) to A5 2.0Tdi Sport (170 bhp). I was getting about 20 around town, mid to high 30's on a run and an occasional 40 being deliberately careful (and bored) on a motorway run. Run to work gave 25-30 mpg. My...

2012- Audi A5 2.0 TDi Sport in Meteor Grey 2008-2012

Thanks! Same car as mine (except mine is a saloon!) Reassuring to know I can fit either tyre, 225 or 235 safely enough.

..and is there any noticeable difference in terms of handling or economy or whatever? will you go back to 235 tyre width for the summer? What you driving? Thanks, Dave

Thanks, Quattrojames. That is probably what i needed to hear. I would prefer to stick with original size but just wondered what difference it would make in practice. My spare is a space saver. Am I right in thinking that either size tyre can be fitted to 18 x 8J alloy rims? If so, I could...

...So you have the choice of tyre widths on S Line alloys? 235/40/18 or 225/40/18? Does it make much difference to handling, grip or economy? Dave

UKDan - thanks! I got size wrong. Edited original post to right size (235/40/18) on original wheels. mubzy79 - Are your alloys the new style 7 x 2 spoke type or the older ?9 spoke design? Any photos online or that you can post or send?

I am considering changing the alloys on my 2006 A4 2.0 TFSi Quattro S Line Special Edition. The current standard 18" 5-arm alloys have 235/40/18 tyres fitted. The alloys I like (RS4 replicas) mostly seem to come with 225/40/18 tyres. Would these fit? Would the change in tyre size affect...

Just had another thought! Could I upgrade my Concert HU for a RNS-E double din unit? If so, could a DAB module be fitted at tto an RNS-E? If this is possible, what would be the likely cost? Thanks again! David

Thanks! What receiver & aerial worked for you in the A6 & S8?

Thanks. Would a DAB headunit with decent aerial give better reception than the Highway. Or is DAB reception just plain rubbish, however good the hardware?

I live in Dundee and have a 06 Audi A4 with Concert HU/Bose. Been trying to get DAB reception using a Highway but reception is patchy with the supplied stick on windscreen aerial and not uch better with a magnetic mount aerial placed on the boot. Is there a DAB module which can be added to...

I am thinking of doing some DIY matt alloy effect mirrors. A coulple of questions first, if I may! 1. Does the term "flat back" just mean sanding or emery papering? Is this just to remove the shiny lacquer layer? 2. What is degreaser? 3. Is oven baking necessary? 4. How much do you think a...

Would replica alloy S4 mirrors fit my B7 2006 A4 which are electrically folding/retractable? Thanks

WOW! Excellent job. I must try this myself. Thanks!

Did you get round to this experiment? How did it go? Do you have any pictures? Thanks!

Which ones did you buy? in.Pro? or these perhaps? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250302365838 Thanks!

Interesting suggestion! Can you post a couple of pictures (pref close-up). Would appreciate it!

I have been looking a A5's on Autotrader. (Not looking to change just yet, Dear. Honestly!) Newer models have the MMI control in the centre console, behind the gear knob. Some older models do not. Is MMI a recent addition or was it always there, but just controlled from a knob/switch on the...

How many of you know about the mini sun visor which hinges down from above the rear view mirror? I was me ages before I accidentally discovered it!
