New A5 coupe owner

[harley141213]

Well I’m now 3 weeks into owning my redA5 coupe S line black edition. So far I’ve had a screw in the back tyre causing a flat, then last week the drivers window regulator broke and had to be replaced.
I love the car but do have a couple of questions, firstly I am a little anxious about not having a dip stick to check engine oil level. I’m not a fan of electronics and sensors telling me when I need to add oil. Imo they can fail, and if I do need to top up, how do I know when it’s got enough in without a dip stick?
Secondly, I’ve found the odd paint chip/ imperfection and wondered re paint code? I recall having a silver extra years ago, star silver but there were 3 different paint codes. On the Audi is there any change on the code for misano red? I think this is a base coat and lacquer??

thanks

When your oil gets low the MMI tells you how much oil to put in. usually 1 litre. Your paint code will be printed on the chassis sticker in the spare wheel well.

Get a dipstick from TPS
There will be one near you, there about £20.
Paint code is located on the boot floor on a label with other spec codes.

Thanks for the dip stick reply, who are TPS?

Trade Parts Services
They are the people Audi/seat/Volkswagen/skoda parts departments buy there parts from.
Audi won't sell you one because your car does not require one!
( I know weird)
