Thanks that looks like what I want. I noticed it doesn't come with the audi rings. Can I put my existing ones from my OEM grill onto this?
Any idea where to purchase foglight grills from? I didnt see them on that Xenonz website. I wasn't planning on changing them, but depending on the cost may...
Hi,
As per the title, any ideas? I've looked on Ebay and Gumtree, but all I can see are some chinese versions. I'm dubious on the quality of those. Looking for something like this...
Hi,
With the recent cold weather, I've noticed my 2011 S5 heater taking around 15-16mins for hot air to come out, and this is whilst driving too, not stationary. It just seems to be cold air blowing up until then. I have the heat setting all the way to the highest level, and have tried with the...
I have the stronic gearbox - the Ob5 version. I had the gearbox oil (no filters just oil) changed around 48k mileage, probably around 2 years ago now. Is the ATF the filter within the gearbox?
Found my invoice for my service last year, looks like the oil was changed, along with the oil filter...
Hi,
So my 2011 S5 sportback is booked in for service next week, same independent specialist as last year. Last year I had the full service, oil change, and all the filters etc. Fast forward one year, the cars covered around 5.5k miles. The garage said just the engine oil change is required (i.e...
Hi All,
2011 S5 Sportback.
Had the gearbox malfunction error intermittently. Its happened many months ago, and again 3 weeks ago, and again today. Only giving me gears 1/3/5/7 with no reverse. Disappears after I switch the car off and on. So I ran OBD11, I've attached the report (of only...
I'm not sure if this can be done via the standard ODB Eleven dongle? I've read that coding can be only done with the Pro version. So I am a bit confused!
Update - so i took the car back. The garage has a look, topped up the oil slightly, and said it was a calibration issue with regards to the digital measurement :whip:
MMI showing full oil level now. Need to invest in a actual dipstick I think.
Thanks all:icon thumright:
So I called the garage. They said its pretty normal - its the calibration of the digital dipstick, and varies in hot and cold weather etc. Said to bring it in and they'll double check everything, so will be doing that in the coming days.
Hi Dude,
Its a 2011 so B8. I assumed 6L as the invoice has the oil listed with quantity of 6.2 (6.2L I am assuming..could be wrong). Will definitely buy a dipstick soon too.
ps. I didn't get the joke from Muppet, just assumed you were some sort of anti S5 person or anti oil person:footy: !!
Maybe a slight exaggeration! But a few months ago when the oil was low on the MMI, and service was due in 3 months, I purchased a 1L size, and it probably lasted about 6/7 weeks before the oil was starting to become close to low levels on the MMI. I only drive locally, and probably do 500 miles...
Do you mean the reading on the MMI is only for 1 Litre between maximum level and minimum? I wouldn't have thought this to be the case..
Unfortunately I didnt check straight after the service. I tried to check a few days later but the message about the engine being warm / off for 2 minutes kept...
Hi,
So my S5 went in for a full service 8 days ago. I've just checked the oil level in the car and its showing around 50%. I don't have a dipstick, but surely this is not normal? Is the full oil amount about 6 Litres?
I've not seen any oil leaks on my driveway or at my work carpark. Makes me...
Oh okay maybe its just the B8 then. I've always thought start stop was for increasing fuel economy etc, hence for the S / RS models it wasn't required.
No start stop in my B8 S5. I'm not sure if its even available in the B8 or B8.5 S4/S5.
I would hate to have start-stop with those issues I've just had, end up leaving car on road and catching an uber :sos: !
Update,
So my cars been in the garage the last week or so. They also found the fault was due to the starter motor. A new OEM starter motor was fitted. I'm not sure what the exact issue was with the starter motor but I will try find out when I collect the car.
Another thing the garage found was...
Would the labour cost still be high for this? Or is the solenoid location different to the starter motor?
I'm not sure exactly how they measured the voltage but I will inform the next garage. What should a 'normal' voltage reading be with the engine running? I thought it was around the 12V...
