    Cooling fans on constantly!

    Anyone experienced this? So this morning I start up the RS5 and notice takes ages to get up to temp. Not a warm morning, 15 deg. Also oil taking ages to get to normal temp.. Dropped my daughter off and noticed the fans were going off like crazy... Turned car off, restarted it, noticed I could...

    S1 drive to Caffine and Machine

    So decided with a friend of mine to undertake an impromptu visit to Caffine and Machine, a near 2 hour pilgrimage, with a mix of motorway and some lovely driving roads. Knowing how nice the roads leading up there are, I thought the S1 would be perfect for the job.. I suspect many of you have...

    Launching - best practice?

    Off to a Mission Motosport event tomorrow in the RS5 and there will be drag runs, 0-60 timings and quarter mile.. The question is whether the launch control procedure is by far the best way to launch? Anyone care to share the best technique for getting away cleanly without bogging down? Thank...

    S1 suspension drop

    So one of the items that was bugging me on the S1, was the lack of stance from the wheels, they are so tucked into the arches, so just put on 12.5m spacers all around. No while it looks better, the arch gap seems to be a little more pronounced.. So my question is what have others done...

    RS5 meets the Bullitt

    Nick from these forums kindly passed my details to the Lovecars team about a feature on the new Mustang Bullitt. They asked if I would mind lending my Rs5 for some filming, as they wanted to do a comparison test. Unfortunately Audi UK had no Rs5's in their press fleet, so was very happy to...

    Are you enjoying your new RS5?

    It would appear so few owners out there. I suspect the fact that you cannot order one at the moment and very few used out there does not help.. Anyway, those that do own one, how are you finding ownership? Does it still feel special for you? Do you feel you need more power? Wish you purchased...

    Purchased an S1 in Nogaro Blue

    Have not posted on these forums for a while and was trying to find a good S1 forum. Recently purchased an S1 in Nogaro Blue, which also has some nice extras on it. We had an A1 before, but this is a different league.. Really enjoying it, bit of an Audi fan, as we have an RS5 in the fleet also...

    Is this a good remap for an A4 - 2.0 TFSI quattro?

    No idea what the 2.0 TFSI will produce stock on the rollers, however how does this graph compare for HP and torque? It is a stage 1 map running on normal unleaded? I also hear that DD rollers sometimes understate the figures..

    Lost all sound

    Hi all, Seem to have lost all sound on my A4. The radio and iPhone shows it is working, however no volume coming out. I have the B&O upgrade and was wondering whether an MMI reset would work? Anyone know the sequence to reset? Failing that, maybe it is the B&O amp that has failed.. Thanks G

    My clean A4

    Hi all, Was messing around with some products over the weekend, trying to improve the shine of the car and give it some protection. When I purchased the car new, I had Supaguard thrown in, however never really shines that well..I think the Daytona Grey looks quite nice when waxed up!! Picture...

    Checking engine oil on MMI

    Hi all, New to these forums... Someone over at Pistonheads with 2.0TFSI was telling a story of how his engine needed replacing after it comsumed quite allot of oil over a period of time. This got me thinking that I should check my oil. So no dipstick, the oil must be checked via the MMI, under...
