I concur. Thank you, all.

I accidentally filled up with E5 and I didn't need to refuel for 460 miles. Went back to E10 and it went back to more normal 380 miles. That's why I was wondering.

Subject pretty much says it all. Does it make a difference on maintenance and longevity using E5? Or sticking with E10?

Oops. I meant to put E10 as that's plain unleaded. I did discover by accident that if I filled up with E5 (super unleaded) I got more miles. 460 miles I think, was the record. I just have to work out if the extra miles are worth the extra cost.

I was thinking about this whilst filling up with E5 today. It shows me 575miles when the most I can get out of the car is 380 miles. Why does it lie? Is there a way to squeeze these mythical extra miles out of it? Thanks:)

Hi Gareth 😆😆😆 Don't I know it! Got it, thanks. I'll pick one up soon. Thanks, Alex

Neat solution! Is it this one: https://www.halfords.com/tools/garage-equipment/breakdown-essentials/halfords-digital-tyre-pressure-gauge-944827.html ?

Hi chaps I'm hoping some of you chaps might have some solutions to my issue. I have a Ring RTC6000 air compressor that I use to set the tyre pressures. This worked perfectly until I had Advanced TPMS fitted to the car a few months ago. It seems the valve on the air compressor is that little bit too short as when I put air into the tyres and then unscrew it, air leaks out too quickly to complete the unscrewing action resulting in slightly too low tyre pressures - should be 36psi on front and 32psi at rear but when I do this, and then check the Advanced TPMS pressures, they are at 32psi front and 30psi at rear, not what I wanted to see! I've had a look at the TPMS valve stems and compared to a normal tyre valve stem they're quite short which might be the problem. Has anyone ever come across this issue and if so, was there a solution? Thanks, Alex

thanks, so not worth it. It's only a tiny dint on the side. At least I now have dashcam, front and rear for the next time!

Some ****** threw a stone at my A5 the other day just because they didn't like my music. Would a ceramic coating mitigate that kind of damage to my car?

Yep, penny pinching caused this issue. Old Audis don't have this issue as they're exceptionally well designed.

Yup, did that a few months ago. Much better.

Bought myself one of these, 2.0 (150ps) a few months ago, and I think they're quite nice. It's not a real electric motor like on an hybrid, it's inside the starter motor/alternator and does indeed gives a nice boost. It's at its best during traffic jams. They've improved on that for 2025+ onwards. It becomes MHEV plus.

Hmm. I had the rear shocks and coils replaced a few weeks ago. Much better at the rear, but not that much better at the front. I've played with tyre pressures, lowering them to a smoother ride, but that made little difference to the body roll at the front. Could it be a bad sway bar or something? Thanks, Alex

I might get an A5 next time around.
