I' actually getting that on my brand new S5 too! Just got it on the 1st and it does it quite often. Sometimes it will open half way and then not go back up unless I do it manually from inside. Other times it doesn't go down at all and I have to do it manually again on the inside and like other...
I ended up picking my new S5 up at midnight on the 1st of March and had an appointment at my local garage at 8am for them to put the car up on the ramp and keep the exhaust flaps permanently open. It cost me £20, the guy didn't want to take anything because it was such an easy job but I gave him...
Picked up my 18 plate S5 at midnight on the 1st March from my local Audi garage who opened up just for me. The snow was lashing down and the motorways were all closed but there was no way I was going to miss out because of the snow!
I took a few options but nothing too expensive, I chose...
Fantastic Dave thanks very much. You'e been an absolute star with this! Definitely owe you one for all your help. If you're ever near Glasgow/Ayrshire get in touch and I'll buy you a pint or 6 :) :D
Oh right ok I'll need to try and give it a try with OBD Eleven and see what I can do. Would be a nice feature to have though as it'
Quite difficult to know how close to the kerb you are sometimes.
Yeah the cover was pretty much 1 of the only bits that was actually ok lol. I'll try and move it...
Thanks Dave, I didn't think about that one as my last car wasn't a frameless door so I'll definitely remember that one.
Just heard back from the guy and he wants £150 for the drivers side one. I'm going to go for that and just hope he sends it out ASAP as I can't drive the car the way it is...
Thanks Dave but I had the misfortune of losing a wing mirror last year in my previous car so I'll probably just give it a try myself. I'm hoping it's going to be as simple as the last car and it's just a case of taking the door card off and loosening off the screws and the electrical connector...
Brilliant Dave, cheers. I've just got a reply from the guy on eBay and he does still have them but he just hasn' put them on eBay yet so I'm just waiting to see how much he wants for it. Fingers crossed he can get it to me asap as I can't drive the car the way it is just now.
I'm so glad you...
Oh thanks very much, I've just sent the guy a message on eBay so fingers crossed he's still got them. It is the new A5/S5 wing mirrors isn' it? Just in case it's the previous model as I found a couple of them on eBay but they changed on the latest model.
I woke up this morning and for a minute...
Yeah I would probably be able to make a claim but I've got a £500 voluntary excess plus a £250 compulsory excess so the first £750 worth of damage would be paid by me and then for the following 5 years of have to say I'd made a claim against my insurance for vandalism and my insurance would...
Hi guys,
picked up my new 18 plate S5 sportback on the 1st of March and I've been absolutely LOVING it, however as I was driving through Glasgow city centre this afternoon one of the St Patrick's day drunks tried to run across 4 lanes of traffic and smashed into the side of my car knocking my...
Hi guys,
I pick up my new S5 on the 1st and the garage has just phoned and asked me to make them my preferred service partner so they can have access to my car through Audi Connect.
What does that actually mean? What do they have access to? I don't really want anyone having access to my car...
Hi,
So I was watching this video earlier on YouTube and it was saying that you could turn on folding mirrors from the engineering menu in the MMI. I know this car wasn't an S5 but I was just wondering if anyone else had done this? I didn't take the folding mirrors when I was specing the car as I...
Oh so does that work then? I saw another thread about that but someone said an Audi Tech told them it wouldn't work and would throw up error codes? If it's as easy as that then I'll definitely be getting my hands dirty lol.
Yeah sorry I seen it called that on another thread. I think that's...
Fantastic, it looks like having one of these kits can come in quite handy. I just wonder if the exhaust flaps could be done by long coding with one of these cheaper devices? I saw someone else was talking about a device that you can operate via a keyring that either opens, closes or keeps it...
Thanks Sandra, I'm absolutely buzzing about getting it! I've always fancied an Audi and to get one of the quick ones is a dream come true! I'll get some pictures up as soon as I get it. :)
