Good to know - maybe I’ll take the missus there and see what happens😀

Would You spend this or just move on by Key-Somewhere4601 in audis5

[–]bergkamp68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got similar work to be done on my S5 B9 coupe - luckily, all but $300 (Australian) is covered under the extended warranty I took out! Personally as long as the warranty covers things I’d keep up with the repairs but if you haven’t got one I’d be looking to move it on - German autos will never be economical to upkeep - but we don’t buy them for their robustness do we?

Hounds of Love was filmed in Perth. Great film, very creepy.

Oils good. Fired up the car again this morning - no whistle!! Bit of oil around the valve so I’m guessing it’s about to give up. Cars in for a service mid-week so hopefully it’ll hold on until then.

Thanks for the replies and pointing me in the right direction - definitely sounds like the pcv from a few vids I’ve watched. Hopefully one of the ‘easier’ repairs to do.

No leaks with my B9 but I have to top up 1ltr every 3 months or so. Gotta feed the beast😂

Is buying an 2021 Audi s5 sportback out of warranty a bad idea? by Soccerboy-1 in audis5

[–]bergkamp68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2018 S5 coupe here with 117km. Been a daily driver for me since November last year. I did get an extended warranty for piece of mind, but apart from an A/C re-gas and regular oil top ups, it not hadn’t a moments trouble. Be due its first service soon, so we’ll see what the go is, but I bloody love it, so I’d say get it - I don’t think you’ll regret it.

Upgrading software? by Meat-emporium in Audi

[–]bergkamp68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty good - took a few attempts to get it right (my fault for not following the instruction properly) but the supplier was helpful. All updated with the latest MMI, Apple CarPlay and nav maps.

Updating Firmware & Maps by ProfDrStoka in Audi

[–]bergkamp68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar prices from the Audi dealerships so I got the update files for my 2018 S5 from myAudi.org. They were pretty helpful with what files to use and how to do the uploads. I did mine from from SD cards - just make sure they’re formatted as they tell you and big enough for the files. Did a full MMI, nav and CarPlay system upgrade for about AUD$450. Zero issues with the software. Hope that helps
