Some of the 2.0T's from prior to either 2009 or 2011 can have oil consumption issues, although newer ones don't. Other than that depending on age some have particular issues (can't think of them off the top of my head) but what's your budget, what sort of age, fuel type etc are you looking for...
I'm not an expert at interpreting VCDS output but it seems to bear out my initial reaction which is faulty thermostat. Most likely the thermostat has failed and therefore the fan comes on as a failsafe.
Do you find it take longer than you'd expect to come up to temperature?
No, it will almost certainly end in fiery doom...
Ok, so slightly more seriously no, I think that as it is essentially a re-dressed A4 they assume that the NCAP results for that apply to the A5. Audi presumably took the decision that they don't sell enough of them to warrant a separate NCAP...
Ask the dealer to send you a picture of the sticker from inside the service book (or under the boot carpet). You can then find the code for the gearbox and someone will be able to tell you the code to look for.
No empirical evidence to support this claim but I would suspect that in day to day usage you wouldn't notice the difference in economy between pre- and post-facelift despite the revision of CO2 figures suggesting otherwise. IMHO all the revision really means, at least in the main, is that Audi...
Sounds like you've got your bases covered then. ;) Quite surprised that there's such a jump between the 2.7 and 3.0. Going from the 3.0TDi to the 3.0TFSi of the S5 was actually the same price for me which was odd.
Not sure what you paid for yours (or exact year etc) but this 2.7TDi (without B&O) is comparable with this 3.0TDi (with B&O) which is £1500 more.
In fairness I thought your turbo would cost about 50-100% more than what it's costing you. With regards to insurance costs have you confirmed quotes...
