r/AudiA5

I love how low it is. Daily this with my C300 from 2016 and my 2022 MDX

Finished installing the Integrated Engineering catted downpipe. For anyone planning on installing themselves… it’s a bitch, especially on RHD Audi’s because of the steering column being in the way. Also difficulty x9000 when you don’t have a hoist.

But can say it’s definitely worth the money spent. The exhaust tone in conjunction with IE Stage 2 tune is proper 👌🏻

Here’s my baby girl, her name is Persephone. Got her about a month ago now. I have taken us through an automatic car wash but it wasn’t my favourite due to concern of damaging the bodywork.

I do have a pressure washer at Home, with a soft setting and the spray bottle of foam attachment. Would it be stupid of me to give it a go?

I’ve never had a car I love so much as honestly never thought I’d financially get to this point in my little life. Never knew I’d be so ecstatic any time I see her or drive her.

Any top tips or alternative recommend recommendations gratefully appreciated.
Hope everyone’s having a lovely Sunday 🖤

Edited to add - any ideas where to get some Audi rings for the front bumper? For some reason she came without & I think it would be nice to pop them back.
Looking for Black to match the boot ones. TIA x

My new 2015 audi a5. Love this color blue.

Hey, I bought a 2015 convertible a5 and the headliner was unglued. I’ve stitched it back up and it’s looking great but I can’t figure out where the two triangular flaps attach to in the roof. Could anyone with a functional roof please help me with this?
Thanks

Bought this last week Technically my First car (That i own) Been driving since 2023 little over 3 years 1lr Corsa (09 Model) Been my daily driver since I passed the little engine that could and could he did.

Dad had an A4 (04 Model) when I was a kid and I loved it decided id bring one back to the family and my god every excuse to go a run in this thing I love it worked like a dog saving for months and this popped up I knew I had to take it home at the viewing and thus my own Audi Journey starts glad to be part of the crew.

I got the 4 Door Fastback Version Manual as that's what I was looking for in Daytona Grey Preowned but very well looked after any advise to keep this baby rolling smooth would be appreciated.

Pictures Took and edited by a friend of mine who is much better at that stuff than me more edits on the way in much better quality.

I’ve done some reading and hear mixed reviews on 21” rims on an A5 B9. I’ve been looking for a set of Rotors for a while and a set of 21” popped up in my area, but is that going to make the ride really harsh and will any pothole ruin them? Current riding on factory 19”. I’m just about to lower it, IE lowering springs are in the mail.

Kids graduated and don’t need to own a kid shuttle - Sold the 528i and here I am, unsubbing from bimmer channels all over the place.

I don't hate it.

Every car I’ve owned I’ve put H&R sport springs on. This car rides so damn smooth so I’m hesitant on swapping the springs out. Has anyone one done lowering springs on these A5s? If so how did the ride quality change, and could you show me the difference in ride height?

Sunset in Texas. Wanted to share with the community.

Thought I’d mention this because I see it come up a lot. If you’ve got an older Audi, don’t assume you need a new head unit for CarPlay. A lot of them can be upgraded while keeping the factory screen and controls. Just make sure you check your MMI version first because that’s where most people get caught out.

Walked into the dealership looking for an A3 Quattro, left with this. Owned a 23’ A3 for 2 years, but don’t know much about these A5s, let me know if there’s anything I should know about them. It’s a premium plus S line at 42k miles.

Love how the deep ceramic coat makes the mythos black look almost liquid.

Here is my Audi A5 3.0 TDI which is now approaching 100 K miles. I’m mainly drive motorway in the UK and looking at averaging 15,000 miles a year.

Currently at 95,000 miles and wanting to do a major service or keep an eye out for things that may fail. My knowledge on service history are:

S tronic gearbox serviced twice in the ideal range.
0w20 oil was used on past papers
Brakes suspension all fine

I have a year of extended warranty left when i bought the car knowing stuff may fail in the upcoming months. If anyone owns or has had the same era engine for this time what is likely to just replace and get done now. I also could buy a VCDS cable to keep an eye on timing chain tensioners etc. debating adblue, egr and DPF delete with a map in future but need to get the extra money before 😂.

Any help would be greatly appreciated since i can do my own servicing but anything that would be unfamiliar or unseen during a DIY service i dont want to miss is all 😬. Thanks!

A couple of days ago I became the proud owner of a 2014 Audi A5 2.0 TDI Quattro, and overall I’m absolutely happy with the car. It’s been one of my dream cars for a long time, and I’m really enjoying driving it.
I’ve heard that Reddit is a great place to learn from other owners’ experiences and get answers to questions like these, so I thought I’d ask here.
The car has just over 102,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, I discovered after buying it that there is no proper service history. The only paperwork I have is a document showing that it was serviced at an Audi dealership at around 100,000 miles, along with the dealer’s code, but it doesn’t say what work was actually carried out.
Because of that, I have no idea:
when the engine oil was last changed;
whether the S tronic gearbox oil has ever been changed;
whether the Quattro drivetrain (if applicable) has been serviced;
or whether the timing chain has ever been replaced.
Is there any way to find out what was done during that last dealer service? Can an Audi dealer look up the service records using the VIN, or is that information no longer available?
Also, if you were in my position, what maintenance would you do immediately for peace of mind? I’d rather spend some money now than risk expensive repairs later.
I really care about keeping this car in excellent condition while I own it, so I’d appreciate any advice from experienced Audi owners.
Thanks in advance!
