    Aust. A5 Recall

    "Audi Australia has called back examples of its A4 sedan, Avant and Allroad, as well as the A5 Sportback, manufactured between October 2014 and October 2017. The issue effects models equipped with Bang & Olufsen sound systems, and sees part of the aluminum trim strips on the front and rear...

    RS5 Grill

    Note that their grilles do not cater if your vehicle is fitted with the PC camera that is located within the grille, immediately under the 'OOOO'. Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the 'Chinese fakes' and I would suggest that probably some of the 'so called' branded grilles come out...

    S5 Massaging Seats and Boot opening using a kick

    "handsfree boot opening using your foot" The key has to be very close to the bootlid, eg. in your pocket (but not in a RFID protection or faraday pouch). Using your foot can be very tempermental, as I have no idea where the sensor is under the rear. But if the vehicle is locked; you stand next...

    S5 Exhaust Valve Mod

    Hi Wize, You sure about gloss black. Satin black maybe? A powder coater told me never to powder coat wheels as it will hide any wheel cracks.

    Faraday Case - Anyone Use One?

    +1 for the tin idea. Bid that until the Faraday Bags arrived. But, can you put the tin in your pocket when you go out. Plus, if you go out with the missus, who has the spare key and you're not together all the time, what then?.....................Take a pair of tinsnips? :footy:YNWA

    Replacement OEM S5 Chrome tips

    I don't understand, you have a S5, which is damn near identical in drivetrain to the S4, so why wouldn't frequently view the S4 section, like S4 owners do in the S5 section, to learn about these common issues. Doesn't that make commonsense? There is also the 'search' field...

    S5 Exhaust Valve Mod

    Suggest you have a small mirror and light. The connectors are on top of the valve control units. Also the B9 S4 thread has photos.

    RS5 Grill

    Is this of any help? http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/b9-s4-grille-to-rs4-style-grille.350735/ I read the S5 section regularly as the S4/S5 share s-o-o much. The removal of the aluminium bumper has me confused though??? Also, 'quattro' is an extra cost option or the it comes with the grille...

    S-Line puddle light?

    If you are looking on Ebay, if the seller says their 'CREE LED' just confirm that with the seller first, because I've checked and found at least 1 telling 'porkys'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cree_Inc.

    B9 RS5 steering wheel paddles

    Thanks 'SimonAshley' & 'sparky86', but my question here is specific for a reason. The subject of paddles is also a thread on B9 S4 forum as the 2 models have so much commonality. A couple have this type and appear quite happy with them, although they could be a tad shorter...

    B9 RS5 steering wheel paddles

    I have a B9 S4 which has uselessly small paddles. I understand that one should steer at 'quarter to 3' when using paddles, something about knowing where your front wheels??? I am an ancient '10 to 2' user. Trivia - Canadian Allan Moffat, Bathurst 1000 multi-winner and legend drove @ '20 to 2'...
