2012 S5 Carbon Buildup

For the second time, it looks like I'll need a walnut shell blast on my S5 to remove some carbon buildup. 118,000 miles on the clock, previously done at 98,000 miles. CEL is on and prelim diagnosis...

Sorry my sig wasn't more specific. My car isn't a manual transmission so driving style won't identify the problem. I'm talking about normal "from a stoplight" acceleration where the car definitely...

S5 hesitation issue?

I love my 2012 S5 Prestige I bought used a few months ago. Lots of advances in the 4 years since I got the A5!!
One issue that's come up is a perceived hesitation and drop in RPM's in the shifting...

brake squeal

Do you have the TSB# for that brake squeal issue on your S5? I just bought a 2012 S5 still under original warranty that has the squeal issue and would love to get it fixed.

Winter tires

Anyone have any experience with Pirelli sottozeros on a s5? Just bought s5 and the a5 winter setup won't fit....have a chance for slightly used Sottos at a good price.

I just traded my A5 in for a 2012 S5 Prestige with 12,000 miles two days ago and get exactly the same thing. A5 never did that. Audi techs answer was that it's "normal" and then handed me a...

I may have missed it but where does it say that Audi paid for it? I assuming he's out of warranty on a 5 year old car. I thought the original warranties were 4 years and 50,000 or was it 5 and 50?...

I was in the same position a year ago on my 2009 A5. These extended warranties are negotiable, not only with the dealer you're talking to but also from dealer to dealer. I ended up buying one from a...

Not true in Illinois

It's been a few years now since they changed it but in Illinois you CAN have tint on all windows (except windshield) as long as it doesn't exceed certain percentages (basically it's a 35% limit but...

Take a look at mine

Take a look in my profile, Pictures and Albums. There are multiple pics of the interior of my A5. They called it Light Gray on the A5 and Pearl Silver on the S5 back then. Very similar.
Yes, it's...

Annoying yes but easily solved.

You don't really need the window to drop down to open the door but you do need it to drop down to close it. As others on this forum have stated, I keep an old voided ID card in the car or wallet and...

Someone else driving it?

Only reason I ask is that the clutch on my 300ZX was trashed by a hotel parking valet who was bringing my car to me from a remote lot that happened to be a few levels below where I was waiting. So...

Agreed

I'm also doing 35 all around based on the recommendation of my installer, not Audi.

Just the opposite for me

I have the Dunlops on my A5 (17") and the ride is smoother and quieter than the OEM A/S Pirelli's (18"). But those Pirelli's have 32,000 miles (the Dunlops have about 19,000 and this is the 4th...

The proper bulbs for the fog lights are Hoen H11. $40 or so. Just go to their website to order. Not that difficult to install except you need to be careful when removing the front grills aroung...

If I recall correctly, it may take a few on/off cycles before it will give you a correct reading (unless something was screwed up during the 5,000 mile service). And it's not true that you can only...

Only 2 months???

For some of us oldsters on this forum, I had to laugh. "Back in the day", the ordering process was a lot longer. I ordered my A5 on February 15, 2008, and it was finally delivered October 25, 2008....
