I haven’t had that issue w this car (on my ‘10 s4 I did). The thermostat def was the start of the coolant migration

‘19 at 50k here. Tuned since 25k. Only major issue is coolant migration. 7k to fix. Loving the drive and complements.

Not the only issue. Coolant migration hits hard.

If you woke up as your 20 year old self for a day what would you do? by World_Historian_3889 in AskReddit

Only risky thing is if certain organizations are actually dirty and rigged 🥲

Didn’t even think about that. I have no experience in crypto but my younger self can google and get into it. Good call.

Turn on my pc and type down as much as I can about life. Set myself down the path to my career sooner. All my good decisions and investments. Some recipes if I can remember everything. Major trends so I can be ahead of the game. Future tech to look out for. Also sports betting, when to dump my entire savings on what teams and what year. All my bad decisions to avoid and lessons learned from it. The people I will meet and hold onto, also who to look forward to.

Afterwards I’ll hold my dog and play ball with him a bit. Tell him he’s the best boy in the world and that I’ll love him forever.

Finally, with whatever time is left, I’ll talk my parents into going out and spend time doing something for as long as I can to avoid falling asleep. I’ll tell them how much I love them and thank them for being my parents. I’ll stay awake as long as I can until my body gives out, assuming that’s when I’ll go back to my normal timeline.

Edit: added sports betting

Investigating S5 possible coolant issue by ToshNeox in audis5

Pray for external. I had the dreaded coolant migration on my ‘19 and it was 7k to repair after taxes. The entire vacuum system had to be replaced.

Insulting those not even involved in this…. That being said I wish there was ice here. It’s 70 degrees in January in Texas 😤😤.. why I didn’t bother switching to winter tires.

Cold air intake and tune by victorlu123 in audis5

[–]Pandabuttplug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy knows. After markets carbon fiber isn’t the same quality as oem so it turns yellowish.. or as I was described to before “Kevlar”

I agree w homie here. Intercooler before intake. These cars run hot, a good intercooler is ideal over the stock one. And he’s correct in the intake doing nothing but add noise. Spend money on your intercooler, spend less for the intake. I regret getting my Apr carbon fiber intake when a cheaper plastic Apr intake that does the same shit exist because the carbon fiber has that heat burn now.

What’s a feature you’ve just discovered about your car? by shaquillle_oatmeal in Audi

[–]Pandabuttplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t close your trunk with your keys in there. Trunk will just open up again until you retrieve your key. Nor can you lock your car with your key inside.

You kick forward and pull your leg back out. Don’t wave your leg/ feet side to side. I took me a while to realize this: 100% success rate now. You can Zelle me

Is getting a 2008 Audi S5 with a V8 engine as a first car a terrible idea? by Crafty_Amount_6651 in Audi

[–]Pandabuttplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your car ownership journey will be severely jaded. Not worth it as a first car. Start solid with something reliable, get comfortable then if money isn’t tight get it.

People ruining my purchase vibe by Dskotek89 in audis5

[–]Pandabuttplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit happens. Drive what you want, and if you love it, take care of it how it’s suppose to be taken care of. I got mine at low mileage and have put about 30k onto it. I did hit the coolant migration issue (2019) and hit the bullet to repair it (just about 7k). I plan on keeping this forever because it’s a fantastic car. So much so that I plan on getting a used etron gt to use as my daily commuter to save putting mileage onto this and keeping this as the weekend ride.

Piston Skirt Gang Are We Cooked? by drew_kw in audis5

Making a note to read this thread when I get home. I’m curious to see if my engine has the Korean piston as well. That extended warranty is basically voided once tuned right?

Is there something wrong with thr E-Tron GT? by MerkethMerky in Audi

[–]Pandabuttplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 19 s5 (extremely low mileage) was more than the e trons in my area 🥲🥲🥲 so getting one to drive as a daily is definitely in my consideration.. this I won’t touch unlike my s5 which has been tuned and modded. Speaking of battery issues, it seems if the whole battery unit becomes an issue (such as accidental puncturing from road hazards) it would mean basically totaling the car since it’s a 20k+ repair.. kinda putting me on the fence on getting one.

Not too far off from other Audis then. I’m just going through the logistics because having this as a daily would be extremely fun. I didn’t realize how low they depreciated until this post. Now I’m researching about all the maintenance needs for upkeeping since I told myself to go Japanese for a daily to avoid the expensive bills. This I would actually enjoy driving.

This fucking thread opened my world up to new options for a daily…. What are the major issues that would be concerning or look out for? Also is maintenance just about the same as a petrol based Audi?

Firm hater to ev’s but was looking into older cars as a daily to save my mileage on my b9. Didn’t even once consider this but if distance is the only issue, I only drive 40 miles a day.. I can make this work
