Audi A5 2011 B8 3.0TDI

Thinking about doing a cold air intake on my B8 A5 3.0 TDI 👀

Anyone here done one before or have recommendations/setups they’d suggest? Mainly after a cleaner intake sound without ruining reliability.

Finally added Wireless Apple CarPlay to my B8 Audi

Installed a Wireless Apple CarPlay kit into my older Audi recently and honestly it makes the car feel 10 years newer 😭

Still keeps:
• OEM look
• factory controls
• steering wheel buttons
• original MMI system

No ugly tablet screens or cheap stick-on displays.

Probably one of the best mods I’ve done to the interior so far.

Wheel Locks

I recently got some wheel locks from a family friend and are all the wheel locks from the dealership traditionally the same as it’s just a lug bolt or are they different (I.e. for wheel size, lug pattern, generation of car, or just a the car in general), the wheel locks he gave me came off an Q7 from 2014-2018, he owned the car but forget the year. 🤦🏽‍♂️🙄.
I just want to know if I can put them on My car, finding parts for these cars is a bit annoying in the sense of, you can find the correct part but the last three-four digits of the part number is a different car or generation. I also have the part number and box

EA888 Gen3 1.8 TFSI strange noise

When the car enters low idle (around 1min after starting) it begins to make this sound. Almost makes it sound like a diesel engine. There is some oil leakage near the tensioner magnets as well. The car also idles very roughly on start/red lights, etc. No error codes on the dash though Any ideas what could it be? Any help is appreciated!

Does every a5 consume oil?

Maybe a stupid question

But when looking around for used a5’s, i often see “normal oil consumption” or “slightly above normal..” when reading descriptions.

I know its pretty common among these engines, but is it like every car that burns a little oil or have i just been unlucky? Only concerns because i never read a post about one that doesnt consume oil

Thanks :)

EVA Air new business class - Boeing 787

Love the new seating on EVA Air 787 business class!

26 business class seats are in a 1-2-1 staggered configuration. Seats are 23 inches wide at the shoulders and 20 inches at the base. 44 inches pitch and 76 inches bed length.

The screens are 18 inches in 4K and you also get a handheld remote near the armrest.

Food, drinks, and service are amazing as always. Arguably one of the best business class dining experiences in Asia.

You can book this flight for 75,000 points one-way. There will typically be more availability on EVA’s own loyalty program called Infinity MileageLands. You can transfer to EVA from Capital One (4:3) and Citi points transfer (1:1). I’ve been able to book 4 saver fare business class flights on EVA before.

Alternatively, you can try booking on Air Canada for 75K points, on United for 88K points, or Avianca (~85K to 90K points). But EVA typically doesn’t release more than 1 seat to partners.

A workaround method is to find availability on Air Canada, United, or Avianca, then go to EVA directly to see if there are more seats available.

Glad these new seat configurations are now on SFO flights and will be on DFW flights later this year.

Worth it?

hey everyone, I come here to ask if you (unbiasedly) feel that your A5 is worth it, and am inquiring about the one I am currently looking at. previously an Audi owner of 4.5 years to my first car and beloved a4 b7 model that just got deemed totaled all because I decided to park in front of my house on the street. I was planning on keeping it for as long as possible. Anyway, I am well aware of high maintenance costs but would rather not veer outside the Audi family as of now. I’m currently looking at a 2017 a5 sport coupe, very well priced, and about 50k miles. one previous owner and seems like maintenance has been well kept. wondering what I can expect to upkeep, replace, or any issues (or positives!) you have with this model.

thank you in advance

Which year is “safe” to buy

I hope this makes sense:

Im looking for an Audi A5, and since i’m only 20 and live in Denmark, a used car will only be within my budget. (B8/B8.5)

Ive always wanted the a5, but from which year and forward would you say its generally “safe” to buy? (I know maintenance and so on is a huge factor) - because ive heard alot about oil consumption, chain replacements and so on.

Hope you can help, thanks :)
