Hi all
Picked up an S5 cab yesterday. S-Tronic 2010 in red with 54,000 miles, full Audi service history. Chopped in my RRS 5.0 SC autobiography which, although it was a fantastic machine, was starting to really test my patience.
The S5 is great fun. Pretty sure I've got the 3G MMI system. Very disappointed there's no AUX input or bluetooth audio. Seems pretty cheap not to include those, but oh well. The rest of the MMI works great and the B&O sound system is decent.
Garage is doing a fresh MOT and valet for me this week. One thing I've noticed is the steering can go from light to fairly heavy as soon as vehicle speed increases. Not sure if this is supposed to happen - I'll see what the garage thinks. The 2 front brake pads are at about 30% so they'll probably be sorted too.
Got a Carista and tune2air arriving tomorrow. Looking at Cobra back boxes as I'd like to do something to the exhaust without spending thousands on a full system.
Anyone got Cobra back boxes? Anything other cheap/affordable mods I can apply?
Will be remapping it in a couple of months once I've given it a decent run out and weened out any issues. I've used AMD in the past, but REVO look like a good choice these days. I'm near MRC in Banbury so they're also an option.
I'm aware you can do supercharger pulley upgrades along with the remap, so I'll consider that too but only if the cost isn't astronomical.
Fingers crossed this thing behaves itself, I've had 2 years of fairly frustrating LR ownership
