Default Are you able to adjust the boot lid?

Curious if anyone knows if the lid can be adjusted. Seems to sit to high. Just purchased this Suzuka Grey 2015 RS5. Im inclined to take it to a body shop. But figured I would check to see if there is anything I can do.

That gray looks pretty white.

Adjusting the rear lid is covered in the "adjusting rear lid" section in the body exterior workshop manual. Probably has the adjusting buffers misset.

Thank you, i will check it out. And I agree it looks like Ibis White, I called an Audi Dealer and had them tell me the paint code and color. Waiting for it to arrive from Portland. If it truly is Suzuka i will be even happier

Audi makes the workshop manuals available through erwin.audiusa.com. Pay for a day, get all the PDFs for your VIN (hit the download button rather than the view button to download and open the PDF locally, then save it locally). This way you get local copies of the PDFs that are easy enough to go through in Adobe Reader or whatever you use.

If you have the VIN, you can look up the vehicle data on erwin while you're there. That'll give you all the info on the VIN, including the complete PR codes list for it. Hit the button to download that as a PDF and save that too.

But you can view copies of the manuals on cardiagn.com. It's just less convenient because you have to view them through their browser viewer. But for a simple thing like this, it's probably more than sufficient. https://cardiagn.com/audi-a5-s5-rs5-...repair-manual/ the body exterior one
