Re: RS brakes - what are they ?

Well, I bought some Reyland two piece rears and have no complaints about them at all. Fronts will have to wait a while.

Is this tuner too good to be true ?

Just wondered if anyone had any experience of Mobile Eco Tuning. Based in Weston Super Mare but their maps are used by a large number of agents. Feedback on their FB site seems overwhelmingly positive. Compared to the usual suspects like APR, MRC, DMS etc they are way cheaper and have rolling road o...

Re: How does remapping affect insurance

Just in the process of insuring my B9 RS5 - 34% jump for a standard car plus double the excess ! That's the best I can do so far (£440 to £592). I want to remap the car in a few months time (engine still under guarantee for now) but specifying a stage 1 remap (about a 10% power increase) almost doub...

Hotter than I’d like !

Well, three weeks and 350 miles after buying my RS5 b9 (private sale) i got stranded 120 miles from home. The car had decided to dump its coolant on the road and the AA could do little to identify the problem on a dark, Friday night. A week later I managed to get the car trailered home for an initia...

RS brakes - what are they ?

Looking at options for front brakes on the RS5 ( pricey aren’t they). But I’m struggling to understand what the std fit ones are. Ok, they are 375 x 36mm and described as ‘two piece’. But they don’t look the same as the usual rotor plus bolt on bell you come across. Do Audi’s ‘two piece’ brakes even...

A Ladybird guide to wheels

Just bought a B9 RS5 which is great - except for the Trapezoid wheels. If ever there was a design for designs sake these are it. Much prefer the more classic 5 and 7 spoke based designs. Anyway, it’s got me thinking about wheels but it’s a minefield out there. Prices from £500 to £5000 ( what are th...

Smart repairs

Can anyone recommend someone to do a ‘smart repair’ on my RS5 ?
2cm scuff, a little raised ( not simply paint) on the rear bumper.
Thanks

Re: When is corrosion only 70%

Bit late to reply, sorry, but ended up contributing £400 towards two replacement wings.
All good now but seemed an excessive amount of work for two small patches.

Glovebox contents

Just wondering what is supposed to be held by the little clips in the RS5 B9 glovebox lid ?
There’s nothing in mine - what am I missing ?

RS5 rubber mats

Struggling to find any for 2018 MY B9 RS5.
Would like just front rubber mats, ideally with RS5 logo ( but not essential).
Anyone had any luck finding some ?

I’m not new, but . . .

Where is everyone ? I’ve been lurking around for several years with my S4 and, now, RS5. The wife has an S3 and the TTS is gone. But I’ve rarely come across a car forum with so little activity. New posts are few, replies or comments even fewer. Compared to, say, the TTOC forum this place seems like ...

Re: VAG option decoder

Difficult to grasp this. I’ve looked at my codes ( similar to the second entry above) but so much seems missing. No mention for example of the HUD, Bang & Olufsen, Sports exhaust and more that my RS5 has ? What do the other codes ( in larger type on the options sticker ) mean, such as DECA . F53 on ...
