To add, reliability is solid - i can't say i have had any issues. It's certainly a good idea service every 6k miles and use premium fuel, either always or regularly.

I see in the title that this A5 is 2014. In which case, it's highly unlikely to be suffering that issue. However, keep researching and find out as much info as you can -there is plenty of info of this subject online across the various Audi forums. Also, a stage one tune gives you great ROI...

You want to be looking at engine codes as well as model year and manufacturing date of said engine. Broadly B8.5s don't suffer, and some late B8s. My A4 B8.5, registered 2012, engine code CDNC, dosent burn oil in quite the way that would indicate serious issues. The other point is that an...

It's a bit old school and it might not be considered particularly elegant, but you could drill some holes in the existing airbox. Add to that a panel filter (as opposed to a full replacement air box/filter) and you will have more oxygen going into the engine...

Depends on the repair! But yes, 4 x torx spline bolts (M10, I think). Once you've unbolted, it will be easier to reach the blocks for power (red), movement, airbags... Don't forget to lower the seat to its lowest setting - this will reduce the overall size of it. Maybe move the seat to its...

On the 2.0 TFSI engine, I don't have the oil consumption issue, which im over the moon with. I didn't know about this until after I bought the car, so fortunately there. Somehow my early 2012 engine (CDNC) has the modified piston rings(?). This shouldn't be an issue as long as you go for 2013...

I have a 2012, B8.5, A4 2.0 TFSI, remapped and it's plenty fast. But it's no S4. If I knew then what I know now, I'd have gone for the S4 with the 3.0 V6 supercharged engine - the same as the S5 you're considering. They are meant to respond very well to remaps, from 333bhp to the 4XX BHP...

Oil consumption on these tfsi engines. Check the stickies and Google as its a very well known issue. I have the first of the 2.0 tfsi that don't have this issue (2012); it does use a litre/1000km, which is 'expected'. If you can, check if this car has had the piston rings sorted, or try to...

What's the mileage? Unfortunately expensive cars have expensive faults. You seem to have had bad fortune, rather than a chronic problem with a specific issue (which is better). How much carbon build was there? The optimistic view is that you have brand new injectors firing in a V8, in a car...

I'd second this. Having to hold the un/lock button until windows are fully closed/open often results in the connection cutting out (so not fully closing/opening) This one touch open/close works with the window buttons in the door, but i would love it via the remote fob.

Looks awesome! What does the plus have over the standard Black Edition?

Hi mate, I'm selling my seats here. https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/a4-b8-s-line-sports-seats-fronts-only.422917/#post-3641606 Leather, heated and full electric adjustment. Good condition too, no rips or tears. The donor car is an A4, though they will fit an A/S5.

Can't remember how I did mine, as it was a good few years ago. This guide might help you, though. https://www.a5oc.com/threads/accessing-and-removing-j519-lighting-module.22271/

I would measure the track for both seats, ie the rails that the seats affix to. The B8 and B7 A4 are interchangeable, so id expect the same for the two cars you mentioned. First gen A5s are between 2007 and 2016, so you should be fine:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_A5.

Is the 57 A5 a coupe or 5 door?

Sounds good, i'd love a few extra BHP and it's sounds so attainable. Did you do anything to your standard brakes? Also, have you considered that there may be extra wear and tear/strain on the engine in general? I guess that you would increase the frequency of servicing to counter some of...

I have just bought an S Line quartrro, 2.0 TFSI, 2012 which should be 208BHP as standard. it feels rapid as, especially once it hits ~4000 RPM. I'm keen for both a remap and just to see what comes out the engine as standard. Might have it done after my next service :)
