    Newbie with some plans need your thoughts and advice

    Welcome Cieran! Believe those engines respond well to a map, but I agree with DrEskimo wait until warranty has gone before starting to tinker around that area - You already uncovered one fault, so could be wise to give it 6+ months / until end of warranty. Besides I waited a year before...

    Thinking of getting an A5. Shopping tips?

    Very efficient, combined MPG is around 40-45 on the on-board computer but I base it more on the miles per tank. 60 Litre Tank gets me 550 miles on average. Sometimes it estimates upto 600 miles and sometimes as low as 500. I'm mainly motorway driving. The power delivery is very smooth...

    Thinking of getting an A5. Shopping tips?

    I'm kicking near 300 and the torque is something insane, you really wouldn't think you were driving a car that weighs as much as it does. That's following a remap, I'm delighted with it and I get fantastic MPG. I'm not racing or competing in it and I think it's probably the best all-rounder...

    Buying A5 - What is the most reliable engine?

    Did you buy it? I've got the '08 3.0 Manual and mapped, I'd say 260/270 after map, I average 45 MPG (Motorway) long stretch can get near 600 miles on a £60 tank. It's not the power, but the smoothness of the delivery that everyone that gets in mine loves. Very fast, handles well. Only...

    Anyone got any recommendations, want some new life rubbed into this beaut, £100-£200 ideally where I am looking to start. Also a small scrape on front nose cone, maybe 4 inch long 3mm wide with some paint transfer - if they can hide this as much as they can!

    Quantum Remap : My experience

    Have to say my chap was definitely a side street garage, no question of it. However he seemed very knowledgeable, his history was around electronic engineering and the garage was definitely all set up. In fairness he could have had a better laptop as was an old XP machine, but I imagine that's...
