Hi All, recently sold my S5 B9 and have been left with the winter tyres we bought for it. They are two years old and have done about 2000 miles at the most. They 255/35/R19 Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D, cost £220 new per tyre for a total of £880 for the set. Absolutely amazing in the snow and...

Depends how good you are at getting them to pay up for warranty work... managed to get a new stronic clutch pack (a wear and tear item according to Audi) on an A1 the Mrs bought used from Audi with 50k on it, took a week of emails and phone calls but they paid the £2000+ bill In relation to...

Steep prices just for an oil change, which is why I did my s5 myself. They’ve added the “reset oil change interval” option to MMI for a reason as far as I’m concerned. Anyway 8l of oil from Audi parts department at £21 a litre and a new filter can’t remember how much that was, £15 -20 if I...

Hi all, today I drove from Farnborough to Manchester in the S5, put the cruise on at 63, had a clear run back and managed nearly 46mpg!! It’s on Dunlop winter tyres still and was on Tesco momentum. Anyone else had such good results on a run?

Went out in it earlier and the cold start was A LOT better, nice to see stuff coming out of all four pipes instead of one

Well I bought them believing they’d do what they’re supposed to. I’ve not got any of these apps people have to check if it’s logged but the ignition was off when fitted so it shouldn’t have done. I was a bit miffed too because while I knew what do do from reading off of here, there were no...

Just done this mod. Bought the AWE exhaust valve simulators as I can’t be dealing with any fault codes wether they’re soft codes or not. When it goes in to the dealer there’ll be no faults shown. Anyway, as others have said it’s well worth doing. Kinda reminds you you’re in a performance car...

So I’ve been looking at all the carbon goodies available for the S5 B9 and there’s so much choice and different manufacturers. Some stuff is priced five times identical stuff so... What’ve you got? Where’s it from? How does it fit? Pics or it’s not true! Look forward to seeing what comes up!

Nice mate! I love how the light affects the colour with the Nav Blue, shame about how easy it watermarks and picks up chips in that dipping bonnet thohhh :(

Think I saw Milltek have something where you can use the ESC switch to flip between the modes you mention?

All sounds pretty good so far! Tbh I’m about a month or two away from having the funds due to getting married but being a regular in Manchester I might ping you a message at some point about getting a listen :icon thumright:

That’s my kind of tech guy :smile new: The tips look good in the pic and just been googling M20 which looks good too! What’s the exhaust like for drone at 70ish? And I take it having it fitted hasn’t thrown any fault codes or that?

That’s not bad at all! Few questions then if I may... Where did you get it done? Is that a valved exhaust? And have you had any comment from Audi when it’s gone in for service or anything ?

Hi all, Been sifting through the new s5 forum and there’s a lot of talk about exhaust valve unplugs and if back box deletes make any difference etc But... has anyone actually changed out the stock exhaust on a b9 S5 on here? Obviously YouTube has loads of sound clips but I’m not going to go...

Thanks everyone. I’ve ordered the AWE valve blanking plugs so I’ll do a thread on them when I get them as I’ve not seen one yet. They’re not going to arrive until 10 April though as apparbelty they’re special order from the states :frown new:
