Thanks that makes perfect sense. Is there a recommended dipstick to go for?

Heat pulls out the stains. As mentioned above hair dryer or heat gun, but don’t burn the paint! Take it easy. The other option is to stick a microfibre on it and put some boiling water on it, to draw it out.

I use A-Chem, they sell direct to public on their website, but they also repackage the product for other retailers, such as Valet Pro :)

Did you manage to sort this Cristian? I got the cruise kit sat here, haven’t fitted yet, bought it with new Squibb ring etc. Just in case it’s needed.

Sounds stupid, but to be sure, will the MMI oil status still work if you fit a dipstick? I know the “tube” is there for the dipstick but it’s blanked off, wasn’t sure if the sensor was in the tube as a result.

Any luck yet? I have issues with my heating too. I think one of the clips have snapped - it’s constantly clicking. Had glove box out. Sounds like it’s behind the stereo :/

Any pics buddy? Welcome to the club!

Great Example BlackT Welcome to the club buddy

Loving the colour and trim combo! Nice buy. Welcome!

Hi Shelders Got a similar age / mileage Audi myself (A5) just done a full stage 2 and it’s great. Can’t recommend it enough Welcome!

I’m getting just under 50mpg in my A5 since having it tuned. There was so much “gunk” built up around the swirl flaps. Had them removed along with any reachable gunk and new inlet manifolds fitted. Then got a decarb of the engine done. In addition to stage 2 map. It’s made a huge difference...

Yes mate. I ended up with stage two from Bobby Singh instead. Because the guy knows what he is talking about. However you could let them do the dpf ignore the map and take a trip to Bobby

I know. It’s insanely cheap. I got Bobby Singh to do mine with no regrets. But their quotation was only a month ago ‍♂️

I got a v6 too. Whoever is looking at your car don’t know what they’re talking about if they say it’s an engine drop / out job. If you got the longer DPF it’s a gearbox drop, otherwise it can be done without dropping anything. As I said Avon Tuning will do that DPF and map for £250 all in...

Also I believe blanking the EGR when you still have a DPF is detrimental to the DPF and could clog it, causing major issues later down the line.

Where are you? Avon tuning in Bristol gut the early A5 dpf for £250. It’s not an engine out job. Worst case it’s dropping gearbox.

Thanks Bairn. I’m seriously impressed by the car. I do like the sportback too. But would probably buy an A7 instead of a sportback. Still trying to persuade the wife it’s what she needs as a family car. I have too many cars myself to be able to pull off another purchase

That looks fantastic!

Best to gut the dpf from underneath so you can’t see it’s been done. Any visible tampering or removal will result in an MOT failiure. Technically though, the car runs great no problems what so ever and is much more reliable. I’d also recommend swirl flap removal as a preventative action.

Hi all. Recently bought myself an Audi A5 3.0 TDi. Been an owner for almost a month now. Lots of issues to start with, boost leaks and oil leaks, was a bit of a nightmare. Thankfully I found Bobbys Singh who hooked me up with a Wagner Competition Intercooler, new hoses, fitted new inlet...
