    New A5 - 45,000 miles in

    Thank you for your reply. I guess I should have explained it better... If I leave the car around 12 hours, everything is normal. I’ll depress the brake pedal to start the car, the pedal will travel maybe an inch or two before pressure is felt as normal. If I leave the car over 24 hours, I’ll...

    New A5 - 45,000 miles in

    Thanks for the replies. The brake pedal is only rock solid after the car has been stood unused for more than 24 hours, as soon as the engine is started, the pressure is removed and feels fine again, hence why I think it’s servo related. It’s like pumping the brake pedal without the engine...

    New A5 - 45,000 miles in

    Hi guys, Been a fairly long term member of Audi-Sport so figured I’d post a brief summary of my A5 ownership as it’s currently in the dealership having it’s service. Mines a ‘17 2.0TDi Quattro S-Tronic, I cover quite a few miles per year hence why I’m already on 45k miles. I’ve so far had 1...

    You must be getting sick of me now...

    That is stunning!! I love Shiraz red. Not sure the chrome would suit my car so I think BE grill to start with, I've decided on the 19" V Spokes that are standard on the A4 black edition now with some spacers, going to measure up tonight to see what I can get away with. Will probably lower it...

    Just a few pictures after the full days detail. I'm a bit disappointed with the chemical guys fabric guard, after 4 coats it's still not great. May try building them up.

    Well guys, after an awful drive to London, the cab is finally mine! Jct 12-18 on the M25 was congested so the BMW said, would you like to re-route? Being an idiot I said yes and ended up partially going into London central! I've driven over 10 hours today but four of those have been in the Audi...

    I detailed my old 8P A3 a few years back and it looked stunning. Agree, does make a massive difference! Don't know if the pictures will do much justice as it'll be clean from picking it up tomorrow but it should hopefully get rid of some swirls and protect the wheels from motorway grime as I...

    I guess the A5 side of this forum is a little quiet! 3 days until pick up, can not wait!! First thing will be a detail, going to order a load of stuff from cleanyourcar tonight to add to my already stupidly oversized collection of cleaning products! May plump for a BE grill as I'm off next...

    19" rotors were first on my list for definite. Thought about a black edition grill but there's still the chrome around the windscreen and base of the hood which I quite like so undecided at the minute, may look ok?

    Hey guys and gals, so I return...again...again Been a member for some years, owned a couple of A3 S-Lines but then things got serious and I had to move up with the big boys! So after departing from my 2013 A3 S-Line, which was very, very well specced, I went for the fat lad...the BMW 520D M...

    B&O crackling noises

    So with it being nearly 2 weeks without my A3, it's finally ready for pick up on Tuesday. They've replaced the B&O amplifier and apparently this has cured it. Weather it has or not will be remain to be seen on Tuesday, been loving the Q3 courtesy car although terribly thirsty on fuel! Will...

    B&O crackling noises

    Agree with you, it's certainly only a select few songs with a very high frequency range. The song I posted above has been the worse I've tried and all things I've considered lead to the amp. I've even sat in the back and the tweeters in the rear pillars crackle as well as the 3 front speakers...

    B&O crackling noises

    Just to make it a fair test, I bought the version from the Extreme Classics album from iTunes in highest quality streamed over Bluetooth from my iPhone with no adjustments to the EQ on the phone itself.
