    Engine Management Light randomly comes on and goes off!

    Hi Folks, I've now had my well spec'd 64 plate S5 for almost 3 years (CREC ENGINE). It's covered 65k miles, 49k when I bought it. I've had almost 3 years of hassle free motoring in a fabulous car. Car has a full Audi service history, I carry out extra oil changes every 5k to 6k miles in...

    How much is a gearbox service? It it a case if drain and refill with correct oil? I'm going to pop into my local Audi dealership this week to see if they can access the a team service details. If not 100% I may just have it done again.

    Service book stamped by Audi approved, up with receipts. I am waiting for the pictures. The sales guy is also checking if gearbox service was done as car was serviced specialist ecialist at time it was due.

    I'm in Dundee. I've found that the selection is better in England, I bought an Alfa in Chorley and my Boxster in Southampton, oddly I have found prices cheaper down south, maybe depends on car, variant etc.

    Thanks for that, I will call them tomorrow. Yes prices are rocketing on high end cars. I bought my Boxster S 3 years ago and I know I can get almost 3k more than I paid, I've been offered 2k more but I don't want to sell, it's crazy.

    No problem. From what I have read the change from CGWC to CREC is aimed at lowering emissions along with some minor changes. I'm going to ask a tough question to comment on as there probably isn't a straight forward answer- the car I am looking at is £22000 (probably top end of my budget...

    I though 2012-2014 was CGWC? "B8.5 S4 and S5 use the same 3.0 Supercharged engine - 2009 - 2012 was a CAKA, 2012 - 2014 was CGWC and 2014 - 2016 was CREC with the latter one coming with a few updates to the engine and internal components as well as reduced emmissions."

    I've seen a 2014, reg June 2014, with low milage. However car is quite far away so I'll be asking a lot of questions before making a long journey. As it's a June 2014 car I'm thinking it'll be CREC engine, I've attached a picture, can you tell from this?

    I had a read though all the links sent, thanks again V6_man. I'm probably going to try and get a late 2014 onwards, aim is sub 60k miles. Like most of these types of car maintenance and service with regular oil change is imperative. I tend to change oil every 5k miles and I do carryout a lot of...

    Wow, thanks V6_Man and @Dippy a lot of great information. After looking a bit deeper into cars for sale I think I will aim for a 2015/2016 car, edging towards a cabriolet as I am loving open air driving in the Boxster. My wife has a late 2019 Mazda CX-5 so that's our practice car. Speaking of...

    Hi Folk, I've just joined the Forum, looks like a lot of good information shared and help. I am seriously looking for an S5, not yet decided which variant but kind of leaning towards a convertible. I had a fantastic Audi 80 Sport back in the 80s, wish I'd kept it. I've had VWs, Alfas, Jags and...
