    Black Window Trim & Grill / Inlays

    Looking good the window surrounds make the most difference imho what I would say is the silver inlays on the s5 mark easily as well better than any piano Finnish but aim for carbon inlays if you are fussy. Out of interest what are you using to clean your interior it could be you with a dirty...

    S4 Exhaust Valve tweak

    Hope the above makes sense the one thing I do notice is that if you use the car properly the mpg is very low Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    S4 Exhaust Valve tweak

    The reason I believe it seems quieter is that in economy mode the rpm is dropped slightly on idle hence the noise is lower same result as the cold start option the ecu is programmed to hold a higher rpm so it sounds louder. I still have the valves open all the time on my s5 and don't intend on...

    S5 MPG

    There is a big reason you don't hear about the difference from lab tests and it's because the supermarkets have a very strong legal teams keeping people quite. Ask any tuner and I know what the answer will be. Are you in the petrochemical industry cuke2u?

    S5 MPG

    Do not buy Supermarket fuel imho it is well known not to be as good as the leading brands of fuel for octane levels. Try and stop at shell,bp or Esso supermarkets are cheaper for a reason!

    Does the 2017 S5 suffer from lag like the S4?

    So far I am reading on these forums that if you drive the car in efficiency its laggy well obviously the car is trying to be economical! Stick it in dynamic and use the paddles yourself and its a peach of an engine when you make it work but I do feel it has been held back to try and keep the gap...

    S5 and S4 Production Suspended....

    Only had the car 2 weeks but the reality is it seems so much more economical in comparison to fast 4x4 jeeps and its not going to eat tyres and brakes. You buy this car to try and drive it otherwise just buy the diesel version if you want to be a bean counter

    S4 Exhaust Valve tweak

    Great taste and all that r.a.g how many miles are you in now? Engine feels like it needs to loosen up or tbh needs a remap to unleash what it's capable of

    S4 Exhaust Valve tweak

    So a big thanks to you pioneers for trying this had my new s5 sportback(sorry for the wrong thread section) for 3 days and the thought of having to go back to the dealers with a fault code I wouldn't have bothered attempting without reading the useful advice on this forum. On that note do you...
