    "Statler's A5 Sportback Anticipation and Build thread

    Sad to see you leave the A5 fold, but I do like the A7 and would consider it in future. Have fun! ;)

    My New A5 'Special Edition' in Velvet Purple!!

    I agree, I think it looks more like a red than a purple to me, and definitely not Velvet Purple. Still looks nice though. :)

    Good man. Of course, I think the Sports Exhaust should be mandatory on the RS6/7... :)

    Did you get it with the Sports Exhaust? If so, I hate you. ;) :p

    Guilty then. [emoji23] If it is then fair play to you. The V8 twin turbo is stonking.

    Need a car in time for January, is an A5 a good choice?

    As DrEskimo says, once the work has been done this seems to be a permanent fix, so worth a look. ;)

    Need a car in time for January, is an A5 a good choice?

    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...

    Audi S5 4.2 Radiator fans always on

    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?

    Audi a5 is it safe with no ncap?

    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...

    3.0 TDI pre FL vs FL MPG

    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.

    3.0 TDI pre FL vs FL MPG

    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...

    3.0 v6 tdi

    It hasn't and I would have thought it unlikely to get that update with a new model due sometime in the next couple of years.

    New car help needed!

    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.

    New car help needed!

    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...

    A5 pedal options

    Just a thought but the ones you link to either aren't OEM or have nothing to do with the RS5 - RS5 is automatic only...
