    V6t B8 Oil Consumption

    Dippy, thanks. Forgive my limited knowledge, what is the PCV valve problem. I’m still under warranty with the dealer I bought the car from so I need to get this sorted pretty quick. If this is the issue, will it deteriorate and cause major damage/failure?

    V6t B8 Oil Consumption

    V6t B8 Oil Consumption

    Evening Ladies and Gents, I’ve owned my V6t 2011 S5 for about 5 weeks now and it had a major service at Audi Coulsdon the day before I picked it up. Since owning the oil level has gone from 90% on the digital bar to now at about 40%. I have noticed what I think is steam/vapour from the exhaust...

    Hi Charlie Didn’t go well, I ended up backing the car back to the dealer. 2 days after purchase I noticed it was overfilled with oil after they supposedly gave it it service. After I got the car back after a couple of days I noticed severe rattling on cold start and it seemed to be constantly...

    @CharlieSAudi , can you tell me what work you carried out on the exhaust please. I don’t have that one anymore and have bought another one but miss the sound from yours ! Did you just cut out the resonators for a straight bit of pipe ? Didn’t get a chance to get it on a ramp.

    Cheers arad85, I understand a lot of cars have this and tbh I’m not a fan. People have commented on mine being loud and although I haven’t had it on a ramp yet, I believe mine has had the resonators removed so may be slightly louder than standard.

    Yea quantum map running about 400, also has both resonators removed. It does sound well. Quite on motorway and at low speeds but sounds like an animal with your foot down.

    Got this response from AUDI... I have spoken to the workshop controller & according to the records you have the latest gearbox we would now order. So that would make it the last revision. I can supply you with the part number if that helps - 0B530070580N001

    Dippy Spoke to AUDI and the Gearbox replacement version was 0B5. They will not give me proof or receipt of works due to the previous owners details being on the paperwork.

    S5 V6T

    Yea love it, wanted one for ages. Sounds epic when you open it up. Sorry for all the questions, how about the pulleys, I see your post about changing them, has this been done as I know it’s a common thing along with the thermostat issue.

    Charlie Lol that explains a lot!! Thanks, I noticed you posted worries of engine noise, anything come of that? I have just gave the car back to the dealer due to a knocking coming when you change direction, he thinks it’s due to bushes or anti-roll bar. Was the gear box mapped. Thanks for...
