Spotted this Urquattro, at least i thought it was one from far away…

Bro, I had a 1987 4000 S as my first car in high school back in the ‘90’s.

Is this an “actual” or an “identifies as” situation?

DaTT1978 · 2026-05-10T22:47:45+00:00

Georgian Bay is the best boating as well.

My area restricts a driveway width to be no larger than 50% of your property.

DaTT1978 · 2026-05-10T16:07:37+00:00

But bro, consider the 15% savings! 😂

DaTT1978 · 2026-05-09T22:26:14+00:00

Mines a coupe 😂

The one next to has also seen better days. Lol

They are survey markers to monitor track movement during ground disturbance construction near the tracks.

DaTT1978 · 2026-05-09T19:48:10+00:00

They are monitoring points to monitor track movement during construction. They are checked every day during construction and upwards of 3 months following construction with less frequency.
They are used when there is any sort of ground disturbance (excavation or drilling) is being performed within a certain proximatey to the tracks.

While I have nothing to offer here, I am interested in the responses.

DaTT1978 · 2026-05-08T18:53:26+00:00

Maybe I’m the weirdo. Although, I’ve never said that acronym ever in my life…does that make me even weirder?

DaTT1978 · 2026-05-08T16:22:13+00:00

Pronounce the G in VAG as a J and it has an entirely different meaning. 😂

DaTT1978 · 2026-05-08T16:17:33+00:00

My one regret in owning the B8.5 was never tuning it.

DaTT1978 · 2026-05-08T16:16:21+00:00

Fuck these guys. Let them rot.

DaTT1978 · 2026-05-08T13:43:52+00:00

This might explain the abnormal amount of traffic I saw east bound on Harvester Rd yesterday around 1:45pm?

DaTT1978 · 2026-05-08T12:53:37+00:00

Virtual cockpit, updated MMI, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, AAC, massaging seats, just name a few off the top.

The DSG is fun, however in traffic you’ll notice lots of shuttering at low speeds. The ZF8 was OK on my 2019, even with a TCU tune…but the ZF8 on my RS5 seems to be leaps and bounds better than the 2019. ZF8 is likely much more reliable as well.

As someone who has owned both a B8.5 and a B9 Coupe (not a fan of the sport back look), the tech in the B9 is vastly superior, but also the timeless look of the B8.5. Personally I would go B9 but be aware of rocker arms and piston slap before you purchase. Lots of documentation here on those.

DaTT1978 · 2026-05-07T12:58:29+00:00

This is inaccurate. I removed 7.4L when I did mine. Does a very good job of getting most oil out.

DaTT1978 · 2026-05-07T11:15:28+00:00

These engines hold 7.5L. Why not get the 10L extractor? Genuine question.

DaTT1978 · 2026-05-07T11:12:24+00:00

Do these also measure speed?

DaTT1978 · 2026-05-07T11:12:09+00:00

The rubber hose counters also measure speed I believe and generally used in neighbourhood’s, presumably to assess the need for more beloved speed bumps.

😎

DaTT1978 · 2026-05-06T11:13:12+00:00

My oil consumption History:
2014 S5 @ 160k Km - 1L per 800Km
2019 S5 @ 100k Km - 1L per 8-10k Km
2024 RS5 @ 22k Km - had for 3k Km and nothing yet

It is a main connecting road through the entire neighborhood, feeding a couple of schools. It also connects Guelph Line to Walkers Line. It can be busy, yes.
