    Audi A5 2012 black edition coupe diesel air con no longer cold

    .......I noticed today that my 'stop/start' is also not working although the engine temp is up to normal temp. I'm guessing that this is can be due to cabin temp. Does anyone know more about this? Sent from my Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70F using Tapatalk

    Audi A5 2012 black edition coupe diesel air con no longer cold

    I appreciate that. What concerns me, after googling most of the afternoon, is if it is low, would it have lost the refrigerant without a leak? I've never had an issue with air con failing on any other car I've owned regardless of age. I know about the system having seals and that it should be...

    Audi A5 2012 black edition coupe diesel air con no longer cold

    I've had the car since June 2016. I have covered 8000 miles and it's now at 40000 miles. Tonight I noticed the air was not very cold in the cabin.

    Have I made a mistake going to 19" alloys?

    I have a black edition with 19" rotors. Obviously the 19s look good but I find the ride really harsh.

    A5 2012 headlight alignment

    My car has just came back from repair and the front n/s headlight was replaced. Tonight as i was driving i felt the n/s light range was different to the o/s in that it seemed 'higher'. The headlights do an auto "up/down" process when starting the car but the level seems a bit "off". Attached is...

    Rotor Alloy Wheel repair

    Looking for some info please...... This morning my car was 'clipped' by a fiat 500 on a roundabout. Incredibly there was no bodywork damage but it looks like the wheel of the other car caught my front offside wheel while in motion. The damage is on the picture. Ive told the girl about the wheel...

    Audi A5 mudflaps

    I have a white 2012 a5 black edition. I just had the paint 'corrected' and the guy advised about brake dust affecting the paint and suggested mud flaps to help prevent this. How do these look on the A5 coupe, how much are a set and the best place to get them? Any advice appreciated Sent from...
