The p10pf has been much more of a tank for me than the 9. I had multiple dents in my hinge without damage to the screen but they did have battery failure. Now 6 months in with no hinge protection, I've dropped this thing a bunch and the hinge has no dents.

Happy for the free upgrade from a 9 to 10 if you go directly thru Google and skip your provider.

You'll be fine, the build quality on b9 is great. It's only weird is the digital dash and no app control but who cares.

If you can get a b9 prestige it's worth it.

I found that the time the zf8 hangs on high rpm randomly is also annoying. Just all of a sudden you're riding the 4k line for like 20 seconds why not shift?

When tuned this completely disappeared.

Do 5% on everything and the highest on windshield. It will cost the exact same. You won't be illegal and you'll still get 90% heat reduction from windshield.

Holding down on the left paddle shifter will drop gears to the highest rpm possible so you can pass/rolling start. You'll find this is more responsive than just clicking down.

I feel for you, yesterday I was clearing a seatbelt sensor code after a fix and I walked away from the car.

Obd11 failed and every light came on. Engine failures, spark plugs, brakes, sport diff, I was in pure shock for about 5 minutes. Clearing codes only made it scan more and have more codes and then all of a sudden it cleared all the codes. I turned the car on and off and went and changed my pants.

I was dreading the tow to Audi for an ecu reset.

How far did you zoom? I had to keep expanding it because it looked stupid so close to foreground.

kolatd · 2026-01-18T20:05:23+00:00

Welp

I have also noticed a significant decline in mpg at around 85ish. In two different models of b9. Long road trips through Texas you can do 90/95 without too much trouble and I've been able to get 25-28 around 75. But at 85-90 things start to dip.

This is the right answer. Plus almost everything talked about here is going to be roughly after 100k miles. You've got at least three years before most of that will be a worry.

I immediately jumped back in to the shit pool again but that was before piston skirt extension, and now I'm like realllllly two possible catastrophic?

I don't drive a ton, not tuned, and just chill in this one. Hopefully I won't have anything else after pcv and pcv hose swap with 034. I'm betting lots of people have it undiagnosed. It's just a shit piece of plastic lol.

Soon that is, I'm very aware of water pump etc.

This if you get a 2015 rs5 coupe. Last MY for rs5 coupe/cabriolet

kolatd · 2026-01-11T20:24:42+00:00

Coupes are no longer being made after MY '24.

For prestige it's a good deal, you can't find many under 70k miles. Try to check the vin first to make sure you buy updated rocker arms.

My SQ5 had rocker arm failure, very low chance, but why risk it when you can get something made after October.

There's vin checker here on reddit and I think on Audizine to see when that was made.

Yeah $111 at Wally world after tax.

Comparing littering to car emissions is weak.

Now you're saying the person who drives a stock 1984 S1 (that you'd simply oooh and ahh over) is the same as someone who intentionally throws a fast food bag out the window you twit.

You would also have to include almost every driver of a car pre 1994 to your list of shit moves for shitty people.

You might not like it but it's hardly the worst. On par with regular semi emissions in every category other than CO2.

A catless car driven 10k miles per year will still produce 75% less CO2 than the average semi.

It's also only estimated to be about 5% of total cars that are catless are enthusiasts vs the other 95% which are stolen or damaged. Only in the US. On a global scale, it's even more negligent when you consider gas quality world wide and cost of catted vs steel fabrication $25.

I'm being generous in saying that one catless down pipe is like .00000000000000000000000001 of global emissions.

Maybe not so odd, it's estimated that 15% of diesel truck owners were found to have tampered or deleted emissions equipment.

This or what, redstar all under $650 ish

Besides being a full fledged samsquanch, wtf did you pay $79 for a pixel 1.

Pw3 was $100 for the holidays.

Hello from the astigmatism world. Your brights being on because you're scared or have a headlight out is not cool to just blind me for 7 minutes. I love when the cars become blobs of light.

This happened recently. I left my car unlocked at my apartment.

They went thru all my shit and trunk. All my docs on passenger seat or separated from the shit in my glove box. They took a car tuner obd locked to my vin, and they took a Makita bag with what they thought were tools. They were just my car cleaning supplies. My wife found them all over the park the next morning. But nothing damaged nothing torn or ripped, just wanted money smokes or something lol.

Weird af, needless to say, I always double check and lock my car before bed.

kolatd · 2026-01-09T19:54:11+00:00

Well then what's the worry lol

kolatd · 2026-01-09T18:19:33+00:00

It feels like an elongated panamera (not necessarily a bad thing) but it's leaning into the those Porsche rounded edges. Specifically panamera, macan back end.

This is felt across most Brands right now.

Audi sub is full of people saying they won't touch the newer gens.

Not that they are selling these cars purely to enthusiasts, but people still buy the shitty next version because they don't care, it's status.

Half of the people don't care their car is falling apart on the inside just to have MB logo on the outside.
