I keep getting the message that cannot find one suitable for my S5. (B9.5). also a bit miffed that no more free audio connect anymore . £140 a year for something very inferior to CarPlay features .. if don’t need to lock your car remotely, and have an iphone , What value is Audi connect ?

my experience with the same engine (albeit 2020 ), is that you can operate the car without any real perceptible lag unless you want to be blasting away from the lights .(which I I rarely do). even then, it’s tiny (my perception). the only thing is developing a habit to put gearbox into s at...

I have an S5 TDI from 2020. Honestly , no lag if you put it in sport or dynamic, it . It rips from 1000 rpm. Also, compared to the A6 TDI 3L I had, I don’t find it any rougher. A bit more rumbly when cold but when it’s warmed up, it’s very smooth. It’s got 16K miles on it , admittedly If it’s...

my s5 had this 2nd Recall last week. I have side assist/ lane assist and every ADAS option possible on the car .. whilst they replaced all 4 tyres under warranty and made new wheel alignment , no camera calibration done / needed . Why would this be needed on the A6 ?

Shelf life of CR2032 is typically specified at 10 yrs .. ( self discharge is super low of this particular chemistry). in practice they can be stored for quite a bit longer .

Hi there , I’m thinking of moving from S5 (Diesel. ) to either 55 TFSI or 45 TFSI . What kind of real world fuel economy do people get ? my S5 has every possible option on it (launch model).. whilst I won’t be able to tick all boxes again, what do people consider the must have options in the A6...

Polestar 2. https://www.polestar.com/uk/polestar-2/ very good reviews .

Our industry has a habit of lurching from one extreme to the other .. we’re all watching the inventory levels in the channels super close but at end customers that’s difficult to gauge .. intersting comment on the TI Q3 analyst earnings call relative to automotive on page 9...

Pretty much all B9/9.5 apart from RS have indirect TMPS (poor mans version).. so no pressure measurement display . I have a list £68K S5 (b9.5) and was astounded to see the cost cutting on this level of car ..

The S5 seats .. just check out the seats.. caress them, covet them, love them , wrythe around in them , have a massage in them, be cocooned in them … S5 is pretty well equipped as standard , as long as it has VC.

not sure the semiconductor leadtimes for auto back to normal in autumn .. I work in the industry .. no sign of auto lead times / capacity easing yet.. some specific technology nodes are hugely over subscribed . Back end assembly and test is now also facing massive issues with COVID affecting...

I have the same in my S5 TDI . I’ve just gotten into the habit of a touching the gear lever into S when I realize I’m about to stop and I will need to move quickly (e.g pulling into traffic)… that said, the delay isnt too bad without this .. but the power surge can be tricky as there is so much...

MMI is completely different . And touschscreen , no wheel…

Indirect Will identify the wheel …

I don’t I’m afraid . There are plenty of references online to Direct and indirect TPMS which you can reference .. the systems are quite generic .
