Hello you knowledgeable people, I always lived with the impression that an Audi S5 is faster than a Golf GTI, until last night when I learnt otherwise🤦‍♂️ embarrassing that was. Either I’m a bad driver or that car had been tuned up. I prefer the 2nd choice. Any S5 owners here that done any modifications to their cars, like Stage 1 or 2 or whatever to make their cars maybe quicker and more responsive? I know about cars but I know nothing about tuning, I’ve read some topics around but looks like opinions differ from one place to other. Would be nice if someone can recommend any garages, having taken the car and what the results were? As well as what the pros and cons are in doing such a thing. I live in East Anglia region so even better if there’s any place around me, don’t mind travelling but only if necessary to get the best result. Thank you in advance for taking your time and sharing some thoughts

Good morning everyone, has anyone had problems with their Audi app? Mine is not refreshing , updating at all, has been like this for more than a week now, I’ve tried everything, from deleting the app to reinstalling , connect the phone to the cars WiFi and then try to update, that didn’t work as well, not sure if people had this problem and hopefully someone found a solution to this. I’ve got an error code too for it. Thanks for your time

Thank you for your advice/reply. 👍👍

Thanks for your reply, good point that is, the problem now been, £900 a year won’t pay for to much of a repair if something goes wrong with the car I suppose, if I was to save the money on the side. the car is very well looked after but I’m probably overthinking that one day the gearbox will fail or god knows what else might go wrong.

So I’ll take it you say it’s not really worth it? Thank you for your reply

Evening people, I was hoping to get some opinions on the Audi extended warranty. Is it worth it or not? Today I took out my S5 from Audi, had some problems with the emergency call, that was sorted and my warranty covered that, lucky enough the fault came in February and my warranty expired at the end of February. The service man said that would have costed me £1500 if the car had no warranty. I was thinking to get a new warranty that costs roughly £900 a year, can be paid in instalments as well if you prefer to keep the cash, approx £75/month. The excess is £250 if one repair needs to be done, if multiple repairs occur that’s multiplex£250, had a look at what is covered and not, a lot of “we don’t pay for if” . That’s the reason why I’m asking here, if people have warranty and what sort of fault or problems they had and if they ever had problems with Audi honouring the warranty or not. Thanks for taking your time in reading and answering. All the best

Yes, the car has blind spot assist, Lucky enough I’m covered for this repair under warranty, I guess that would be an expensive fix otherwise🤦‍♂️

That makes sense then, they said something about recalibration, I’ll take it back then saying they don’t know what they doing, thanks for the explanation 👍

I’ve tried that jammy and in my case the warning did not clear, could not hang up as well so I’ve had a chat with the guy who answered and I’ve explained what I’ve tried to do in the hope it will clear the warning but it didn’t. In all honesty, if that was something to be done every time the warning came up I would chose to fix the issue and not to clear the fault, needs to be repaired. I don’t think guys at Audi now what they are doing, they said it coming from behind the rear bumper and we need the car for 5 days he said, 5 days🧐 has been more than 6 days now and the warning did not came up, not sure if I want to take my car to them if there’s no problem.

Hello there, just brought my car from Audi dealer just now because of the same fault, lucky I’m in warranty and they will fix this for me, on this occasion they said there is a faulty sensor in the rear bumper, rear bumper need removing to get to that sensor and they need the car for 5 days to fix this , might take less but it’s booked for 5, so fingers crossed. they need longer than I expected( 5 days..I mean, Jesus that’s a lot of time if having to pay by your own means) because apparently they need to recalibrate the sensors for lane assist and everything that sensors are designed for, fault can occur as well due to water going in or whatever, so many reasons for the fault. The warning came on when I started the car not long ago, then next time I started the car it was ok, no fault, then again after few days warning came in again, so its an intermittent fault I guess, when the safety system gets teated by the car, booked the car while it’s under warranty last week, since then no warning, it’s absolutely fine, but I still took it to Audi today and they confirmed on their testing it came up a faulty sensor under the rear bumper, sorry for repeating myself. Hope this helps
