    Tyre advice and alloy refurbishing for Audi A5 Sportback

    Hey guys, I have an '10 A5 Sportback and my tyres need a change and I need some advice. I was looking for a balance between good performance and price, and I've found the following tyre: Dunlop Sport Maxx RT XL 2553519DU1YXR FUEL EFFICIENY:C WET GRIP:A NOISE:1 bar 69 dB PRICE: £215.60 I've...

    Thinking of buying this A5 - advice please!

    Seems alright from what I can see, although the price isn't anything of a bargain, but neither a rip-off by an means. I'd check some out here at CG, too: Used Audi A5 - 23 Audi A5 at Cargiant The thing with not liking something from the start (20" wheels) is always a problem as you should...

    A5 Sportback Lip Spoiler

    What was the cost mate? Any part number on it? Been looking for quite a while.

    A5 Sportback Lip Spoiler

    That's what I thought mate. I have a Sportback S-Line so I was looking to find one for it. Would that be available from an Audi parts store?

    A5 Sportback Lip Spoiler

    Ah, really? Because from looking at it close up, the actually lip spoiler isn't part of it. It seems like an add on piece.

    A5 Sportback Lip Spoiler

    Saw one of these on a beaut of an S5. Anyone know the product number on this? I've seen some but only for Cabriolets. The lip spoiler is the one in the picture just there. Any help on some information would be appreciated. Thanks

    Rear wheels making a 'hum-hum-hum' sound?

    Wow, I thought it'd cost around 150. Hope it's not, in that case. Interesting you bring up the grinding noise. I had that once when reversing out. My front right brake disk has these black circles. Could that be the thing you've mentioned? It's only the front right. The others are all clean.

    Rear wheels making a 'hum-hum-hum' sound?

    Tyres are fine mate, besides their tread which is a tad low. Three of them are on 3mm while the back left is on 6mm. I'm not too worried about that. Another thing I have noticed which is worrying me though is when I reverse out my drive and turn, the wheels almost sound like there's some sort...

    Oh I've seen that beaut. Love the new grill. Just saw one on an A5 yesterday. Wish I could attempt to do something like that. I wouldn't trust myself just taking off the light letalone the whole front just to put a new grill, haha.

    Fair enough. If you haven't already, get an Audi Health inspection done on the car just to make sure everything's sound.

    Ah right, I'd ring them back saying that it's not been done though. They may do f*ck all seeing as they've got your money, but no harm in trying. Half a chance they may actually opt do it.

    Rear wheels making a 'hum-hum-hum' sound?

    Had the family in the car earlier and noticed there was a humming sound coming from the rear wheels. Doesn't seem to appear evident when I'm on my own, just with passengers in the back. It's not unbearable but it is noticeable. I'm guessing it's the wheel bearings, or wheel alignment? What am I...

    Ah. Had a similiar situation but did some of the ol' tricks in the book to check if they've done what they said. I went for a full service on my old Audi and marked the Air filter and various other parts. It seems they only did an oil change and packed it up. Talked to them on the phone and put...

    Who was it done by? Or not done by more like.
