    Wrong timing belt supplied

    No the belt was got by the fitter who is trying to pass the buck on to the supplier (motor factor) for supplying the wrong belt.

    Wrong timing belt supplied

    Hi guys. Just wanted to pick your brains here. A family member who lives in London had a timing belt replaced recently that led to a failure. It was on a common rail VW engine. Turns out that the wrong belt was supplied - ie - it was the correct number of teeth but 5mm narrower, which caused...

    Part number for undertray fastener

    Hi guys. Does anyone know what the Audi part number for these undertray clips is? It's a 2009 2.0TDi coupe. There are 11 altogether that hold on the undertray that you take off to access the sump. There are 8 along the outside and 3 along the back. It's the part number for the 3 along...

    Grille options

    Are there better aftermarket grilles than others? I can get a genuine RS5 grille for a bit over £500. Just wondering if it's worth the extra money.

    Grille options

    The only cosmetic thing I'd change on my pre-facelift 2009 A5 Quattro S-Line coupe would be the rather bland looking grille. Question is; what are the options? Don't really want to go aftermarket unless I had to. Any thoughts?

    What Mpg 2lt tdi do you get

    You might want to get the MAF sensor values checked and also check for boost leaks. I'd recommend adding a bottle of Wynn's diesel clean 3 to half a tank of diesel too and giving it a good revving whilst it's in. Your injectors / EGR / DPF etc could be coked up. I know there's only 2000 miles on...

    Diesel Remap?

    Have the Revo stage 1 on my CR 170 2.0TDi Quattro and it's great. Smoother and a lot more power.

    Lowering an S Line A5

    Ok chaps. Fitted a set of Eibach pro kit springs yesterday. The springs may need to settle a bit but the front end is too high compared to the rear for my liking. The rear is almost too low. Would it be a complete no no to refit the standard rear springs whilst keeping the Eibachs in the...

    Lowering an S Line A5

    Thanks for the reply Damian. Does the S line share the same shocks as the sport and SE? IE, are the springs the only difference?

    Lowering an S Line A5

    I'd like to drop my S line 2009 A5 slightly but am not sure which springs to go for. It sits up at the front more so ideally I'd like a drop of around 20mm on the back and 30mm on the front. The car has 20" wheels with 20mm rear spacers and 12mm front spacers. Any suggestions?

    265/35/20

    255/35/20 would have a sidewall depth of 89.25mm so may be a happy medium. Some of that extra comfort may be lost though due to the tyre being slightly stretched on the wheel. Opinions?

    265/35/20

    Anyone fitted 265/35/20s to an A5 (as opposed to the standard 265/30/20s)? I know it will affect the speedo slightly but would there be any drawbacks? I calculate the sidewall height difference to be 79.5mm (30s) vs 92.75mm (35s).

    Thinking of buying this A5 - advice please!

    Well guys, bought the car on Friday and am over the moon with it. Couple of questions: it's an s-line with the 20" wheels. I was considering getting a full set of Eibach hubcentric spacers and elongated bolts. What is considered the deepest spacer you can fit to these without rubbing? Also...

    Thinking of buying this A5 - advice please!

    Cheers Grant. The wheels are definitely genuine Audi wheels. The badges are a bit odd. I must ask if I can remove them with a little heat to see if they're hiding anything. As for the colour match, I think it's just the picture. Looks perfect in the flesh. Full Audi service history.
