having grown to enjoy the merits of Audi's wonderful V8 in a few cars over the years from the original type 44 V8, to an RS6 to a lovely S8, I deviated and bought an economical A5 3.0tdi V6...
(at the time I also had a restored TT, plus many others along the way)
The A5 fared well but it was lacking something..... I missed the V8 but loved the A5 shape, as I felt it was an ageless design, so what should I do...?
Yup. go buy an S5
(We also have an A3 as my partners daily)
she is a 2007 with 73,000 miles on her, she was in good condition but not perfect (not that any daily driven car can ever be perfect but she was a good base to improve upon!!!
The first thing needing attention was to turn on stuff with VCDS
Where would we be without VCDS
So what has been activated
Adaptive brake lights - turned on (I doubt i'll ever see them)
Optical Rear Parking - turned on
Lap timer - turned on
Enable Horn confirmation on locking - turned on
Enable Rear Tail Lights on with DRLs - turned on
Enable Release Parking Brake without putting foot on Brake - turned on
Enable the Battery volt meter
Specific fog light on when turning - turned off (why give the impression you have a bulb out? don't get it!!!)
