    S4 Exhaust Valve tweak

    It very much depends how you drive and which drive mode you predomantly use. If you drive around in efficiency (or auto/comfort at low revs) the car will spend most of its time gassing through the single exhaust tip, if you drive in Dynamic (or individual set as so) the exhaust valves will...

    Does warranty cover pitted / corroded exhaust tips?

    Obviously a bit late for you in this instance, but if you wipe the tips with WD40 or similar when you clean the car they're MUCH easier to clean. I do it each time I clean the car, takes 2 minutes and keeps them as good as new. Hopefully you'll be able to get them swapped out and add the step...

    Lag - Delay - Hesitation

    Yeah does the same, although I'm pretty sure my 2015 Stronic TTS did the same, perhaps not loading up quite so much but the clutch was engaged and slipping when you held the brake prior to launching it.

    Lag - Delay - Hesitation

    It does have a launch function though, driving mode set to Dynamic>stability control off>gearbox in Sport>left foot on brake>floor accelerator>revs will rise and hold at 3k RPM>release brake> launch. Works pretty effectively on mine considering it's a torque converter auto.

    S4 Exhaust Valve tweak

    http://www.abt-sportsline.de/en/latest-news/news/detail/news/the-abt-audi-s5/news-a/show/news-c/NewsItem/ It's not cheap though, I think you're looking around the £1800 mark in the U.K.

    S4 Exhaust Valve tweak

    Haha! Just ticked past the 3k mile mark today on a 300 mile round trip, it's loosening up by the day and both performance and economy are improving, I did a launch control launch at 1000 miles and it felt brisk, did one at again at 2500 and it felt ****** rapid, today's trip showed 38mpg for...

    Congrats, lovely car and awesome colour for an S5 Sportback, I'm not at all biased lol!

    S4 Exhaust Valve tweak

    It doesn't create any errors on the dash mate, the errrors it creates are only visible via OBDII tools. I think what your describing is the Pre Sense check light when you start the car which is totally normal.

    Insurance - Trackers S4

    Wouldn't touch a tracker again unless I was forced to, had one fitted to my F10 M5 which was stolen a couple of years ago. The car turned up dumped at the roadside 5 days later with false plates in a complete mess with an additional 2000 miles on the clock. They had stripped all of the carpets...

    S4 Exhaust Valve tweak

    Interesting the contrast in people's experience with this, was a piece of p1ss for me lol, two minutes a side with no jacking. I did mine within a few days of collecting the car though, perhaps the connectors get mucky and therefore more difficult to remove as the mile rack up. Getting less...

    Have you done the voice learning to train the system to understand your voice/accent?

    Audi Connect seems to never log in automatically

    When you log into it on the MMI in the car there is an option to use the Bluetooth connection to the connected phone to authenticate you as the logged on user, check this once and providing you have the phone you registered as the authenticated phone it will log you in each time the phone pairs...

    Haha, this technology genuinely exists, you're correct it is computer controlled but there are algorithms that help it adapt to the way it's being driven, therefore there is a level of 'learning' capability. Are you saying you don't believe this?

    Large air con vent ?

    I had the same problem until I did some searching and discovered you're not supposed to feel the air flow from that vent by design. It's an air diffuser and it's totally normal that you can't feel airflow from it when it's open. Re the aircon temp I haven't noticed any issue with how cold it...

    That's not quite true, google "Adaptive Learning Gearbox" There's a lot of info out there about it.

    Replacement Tyre - Questions

    I totally agree with all the comments about NEVER mixing tyre types on the same axle, if you're ever misfortunate enough to hit standing water at high speed on a motorway you don't want mixed tyres across the same axle... it could be the difference between a scary moment or a crash, especially...

    Audi sound system .

    Agree with all of the comments on the fact *** improves within the first couple of months and that it's a decent system. I had B&O in my TTS which I thought was great, I would say this is 80% as good. My initial thoughts where negative but it's true that it improves, I've also whacked the base...
