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.

My 2014 S5 is due a major service so I had a quote from Audi dealer and one from an indy. The Audi quote for a major service, replace brake fluid and replace the poly v belt is £725, the indy quote is £650. I'm surprised the indy quote is so close to Audi's, does this sound right?

Why is it so hard to find out on line what items need replacing and when? I cant find any info on line and even my local Audi indy can't tell me until they have the car in front of them.

Got a 2019 TT sline as a loan car whilst my S5 is in the workshop and I am very disappointed. The car looks great, has virtual cockpit, has quattro and twin exhausts so I am thinking it has a decent engine! The ride quality on any ADS mode is hard, the road noise, even on smooth roads, is super...

Hi all. I am thinking of selling my S5 and getting an S6 (2014 or 2015). I haven't decided on the saloon or the avant yet but are there any possible issues I should look out for? Thanks

My 2014 S5 had its yearly oil service today and the garage noted that the rear inside brake pad on the offside is 90% worn so I need to replace all the rear pads (disks are ok). I would normally change my own pads but not done the Audi before so anything I need to be aware of before I start...

I did a really stupid thing today. I was clearing all the leaf debris from the gutters and drains on my S5 and to get better access I raised the bonnet and pulled the drivers side wiper arm away from the windscreen. The job went well and i happily closed the bonnet forgeting that i hadn't moved...

I have been looking for supercharged badges on eBay but most look to be poor quality. I have found these ones which are made of alloy, has anyone bought these ones and if so any comments on quality...

I have removed the V6T decals from the wings on my S5 but on one side the car has had some paintwork repair and you can see that the decals were not removed before the wing was painted. It looks like it may be just clearcoat overspray, what can I do to smooth out the clearcoat and remove the...

Has anyone experience of Mark Tempest Autocentre in Welwyn or Frank L. Follett Motors in St.Albans. I'm looking for an independant specialist for my S5 servicing and repairs. Thanks

Is there a way to turn off the display of user groups when viewing threads.

I thought it would be useful to see what mods people have been able to do on their b8/b8.5 A5/S5 with Carista. I'll go first..... Start/Stop - Enabled the memory so the car starts up in the same mode as when it was last used. Ambient light menu - Enabled the MMI control to adjust the...

I have had my S5 Sportback for a couple of months and I still don't have the knack for opening the tailgate when it is or has been raining and NOT getting water pouring into the boot. Is there a knack or is this just the way it is?

My S5 has had some of the interior lights replaced with LED's but crucially not the lights mounted in the roof. I have lights in the front and back, can anyone enlighten me on what i need to replace the yellow bulbs with LED's. Thanks.

When i purchased my 2014 S5 Sportback i was expecting mediocre fuel economy but i have been pleasently surprised. On a couple of motorway and a road trips the S5 has averaged 34.4mpg and 36.7mpg, on local a and b road trips i have been averaging approx. 24-27 mpg. Not bad economy at all!

What am I doing wrong? My newly purchased S5 has front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera, the front sensors do not activate until I press the parking button which also turns on the reversing camera, all my previous cars with front sensors operated automatically below a certain...

Does anyone know how i can get the data card and service record for a car i am interested in buying. Thanks

My search for an S4 has led me towards the S5 Sportback. I have one lined up to look at next but but before i go can someone tell me the things to look out for. Problem area's, known faults, desirable options and anything else. Thanks

Hi all, i have been thinking of buying a 2013/14 S4 as my daily driver. I am only looking online at the moment at a few potential cars but i note that some have the media control on the dash and some have it on the centre console by the gear selector, can someone enlighten me on why? I would...
