S5 S-Tronic Gearbox question.

Hi; I have a 2013 S5 with S-Tronic transmission. I have had no issues with the car and have become quite uncaring about what the gearbox is doing. However, unless I am losing my mind, I am pretty sure that until a few days ago my gearbox (in auto mode) would read D1, D2, D3 Etc; and in Sport with le...

Does a Disklok fit an S5 with multifuntion wheel?

Hi . I have just purchased (unseen) a 1 year old S5 Cabriolet with flat bottomed Multifunction steering wheel. I am keen to have some form of visual deterrent against theft and had thought of a Disklok? Will it fit? If not, can anyone recommend a different type of wheel bar type device which does? T...

RE: Milltek Resonated V Non-Resonated

Non resonated IS too loud IMHO. I tried it in my RS4 and although wonderful noise, was just too much for everyday use. (Way louder than my F360 Modena). I thus changed to a resonated and still think it sounds beautiful.

Somebody needs to educate whoever wrote the original of the above. Firstly (and most importantly) is that it is the exchequer who takes more than 70p out of evey litre you buy and so it is pressure on the government that is required to slash the taxation they apply !!

Occasional "fast gearchange" issue , Why???

I occasionally have the following issue (probably only from 1st -2nd or 2nd -3rd. Reach high revs in previous gear and do a quick change to next. There is then a complete lack of any reponse from the throttle for maybe a second or slightly more before pickup. This is in dry conditions with a fully w...

Re: 4GB SD Card for RNS-E - Valuemedia.co.uk

The Hama 4GB SD Card found ( http://www.valuemedia.co.uk/4Gb_sd_card.htm ) works fine with the RNS-E after it's been formatted to FAT32 and 4096 byte blocks (arrived with 32K blocks). Costs about £30 after delivery (2 days for my order). Hopefully saves someone a bit of time, as other vendors seem ...

I tried non resonated Milltek and it was too loud for me. So, changed to resonated . Definitly a lot better in car whilst still much better than standard from outside. I would recommend this.
