I get better mpg out of my S5! 27 around town and the best so far on a run of 39.

Had the oil changed on my S5 sports diff today even though my indy said the diff is sealed for life. The RS5 sports diff needs an oil change at 58k miles so I see no reason why the S5 shouldn't be the same.

IMO the GT looks similar in overall design to an A5. Not a bad thing but with a starting price of £80K :joycat:

Your existing tyres are the wrong width, you should have 255/30R20. If you want a thicker sidewall you will need a smaller wheel in order to keep the tyre circumference correct.

Lovely car, the black wheels are not for me but what do i know!

Had a new TT as a courtesy car about a year ago, it was a 3.0l I think. I loved the looks but the road noise was horrendous.

If you live in a part of the country where it snows consistently for several months of the year or temps are consistently below 7degrees c then maybe winter wheels and tyres are worth the cost but in the south of the UK this is not the case so its more a preference than essential. I've used all...

I can't even get a discount if I fitted a tracker of some form of physical deterrent such as a steering lock as LV tell me these devices make no difference.

No difference other than noisier intake and less filtration.

Has there been a marked increase in 6 year old Audi S5 thefts recently? According to my insurer there has been and they have written to me ahead of my renewal letter advising me to be prepared for an increase in my premiums.

Had the service done yesterday at the local indy. Inspection service plus spark plugs and brake fluid change was just under £500. I asked them to check the poly v-belt and replace if necessary but it wasn't done so must be OK. Does anyone know the service interval for the sports diff, I forgot...

The simple answer is no, the RS4 isn't worth double an S4. But that's not the whole story. If you are looking for value for money then keep the S4 but if you really want an RS4 then pay the going rate, its just down to that.
