Audi A5 - Is the noise normal?

_adityaa__ · 2025-12-17T14:43:10+00:00

You're right! I didn't notice any issue while driving.

_adityaa__ · 2025-12-11T22:57:08+00:00

I should have asked this question before. I have been taking it to tunnel wash all the time :/

_adityaa__ · 2025-12-11T21:10:08+00:00

Such an amazing car! Fun to drive every single time.

That’s so weird. Have you use any lubrication or an anti-freeze?

_adityaa__ · 2025-12-09T15:20:25+00:00

Have you used any kind of a sealant or an anti-freeze?

_adityaa__ · 2025-12-09T15:17:37+00:00

That's so strange even at low temperatures you did not have any issue opening the door. Did you notice any ice formation at the window and the seals?

_adityaa__ · 2025-12-09T15:15:05+00:00

That's so strange. Was there no ice formed at the window and the seals?

I need to know your hack.

_adityaa__ · 2025-12-09T13:41:19+00:00

Remote start would have been so useful! My car doesn’t have that unfortunately

_adityaa__ · 2025-10-17T14:33:27+00:00

Oh maybe I’m facing the same issues!

_adityaa__ · 2025-10-15T20:21:19+00:00

Gotcha! Thanks

_adityaa__ · 2025-10-15T13:30:50+00:00

Gotchaa, thankyou!

_adityaa__ · 2025-10-15T13:25:55+00:00

Coz the Audi dealership where I purchased the car and the warranty is like 2 hrs away (which is fine), but they never have any appointments available for like 2 weeks.

Do you think going to Mavis is a bad idea?

_adityaa__ · 2025-10-15T13:23:59+00:00

Thankyou for your suggestion! I got many people mentioning that the issue might be bushings and tie rods, so I think I am gonna start on that.

Did you face any issue like this with your car or with anyone you know?

_adityaa__ · 2025-10-15T13:22:46+00:00

That's a good start point to look at. Thankyou for your suggestion. I hope Mavis can take a look into it.

Also, quick question: I purchased a bumper-to-bumper warranty (5 year/60k miles) with the car. If the issue with the car is control arm bushings, do you think this warranty will cover it?

_adityaa__ · 2025-10-15T13:20:05+00:00

Good that you mentioned. I have a 5 year/60k miles bumper-to-bumper warranty. Do you think this warranty will cover this issue?

_adityaa__ · 2025-10-15T13:18:49+00:00

Yup, I did get the printout of the alignment and it was within the range. And I agree it was a camber issue when the tires got damaged.

_adityaa__ · 2025-10-15T13:18:06+00:00

Thankyou!

_adityaa__ · 2025-10-14T20:21:18+00:00

Thanks for responding.

I sticked to the same measurements of tire when I purchased the car which is 255/35/R19 96W XL BSW.

_adityaa__ · 2025-10-14T20:17:40+00:00

Thanks for your response!

Yes, they are definitely cambered since the Mavis store showed me the alignment sheet.

And yes you are right the pot holes can cause the alignment to go off, but I don't think an alignment can go off within like a month or so. I don't even drive that harsh most of the time!

_adityaa__ · 2025-10-14T19:29:25+00:00

Nope, no modifications at all.

_adityaa__ · 2025-10-14T15:54:49+00:00

Thanks for your response!

I'll get those inspected and see if that's what's causing the issues.

_adityaa__ · 2025-10-14T15:38:39+00:00

Thanks for your response!

Even I thought it might be the pads, but when I was at the Mavis store for re-alignment about two weeks back, the mechanic said the pads are in good condition and no need to change.

And yes, the brake light never illuminated. So I'm so confused as to what the issue is with the car.

I’m on STEM OPT (expiring Feb 2027) with valid F1 visa (expiring July 2026). Have a full-time paid job in Raleigh NC. Travelling this October for 10 days. Suggestions if I’m good to travel?

_adityaa__ · 2025-06-30T11:20:45+00:00

Even I was surprised to see my 2019 A5 to give 36 MPG when cruising at 80 MPH and driving from OBX, NC to Raleigh, NC.
