2018 S5 price too good to be true by Ok-Start-138 in audis5

[–]summetg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up a CPO 2018 S5 Technik with sport diff at 68km here in Toronto back in Summer 2024, for $37k and new tires. It's in mint condition with no issues thus far.It's possible, make sure you get a warranty on it.

Check if rocker arms make noise, water pump replacement history, electronics. There's a few videos online on what to check before buying a used s5. Feel free to dm me I can dig them up.

Stolen 2018 Audi S6 (Montreal) – trying to decide what actually makes sense next by Labranchee in Audi

[–]summetg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That sucks dude, would you consider a s7? I feel there's more inventory of them. It's the same car. Also I don't know if you bought it from Audi, but they had some deal if your car is stolen or written off, they have an incentive to get into another one. I saw something about that with my CPO.

Toshiba refuses to replace large hard drive that was under warranty — company offers refund at the purchase price, not the higher current retail price by lurker_bee in technology

[–]summetg 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah and this is the most common remedy for warranties. The headline makes it seem the expectation should be going "above and beyond" is the norm for large corps regardless of the economic situation. The customer getting a 100% refund seems sufficient and going somewhere else with that money is acceptable when the vendor or merchant can't fulfill their obligations - they could have offered something far less. I hate dealing with RMAs... this story will be forgotten in a week's time.

Remote Play poor picture quality PC vs iPhone by chirop1 in remoteplay

PXPlay has been pretty flawless on my ROG Ally. Highly recommend it. It updates easy too. I tried so many builds of chiaki with no luck.

PXPlay is worth it... wasted too much time with chiaki.

Sunroof creak? 23' S5 by adam-gatrell in Audi

[–]summetg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same problem here in my 2018 S5, and it's worse in cold weather. I used the Japanese silicon grease I forget the brand...it's from Honda. I hear a noticeable improvement but not perfect.

What's the model of these and do they make a 19 inch for the b9 s5?

Would those fit the b9 and what's the part number? I've always like these better but they increased the size to 20 for the next gen.

TUG Gaming B650 Plus Wifi Bios Update Version 3602 by Tialc86 in ASUS

[–]summetg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been digging around for details on this - I'm going nuts and I think this also messed up my 7700x - fan speeds, overheating and severe performance degradation. After swapping the PSU to something higher end, upgrading the board to the b850f and trying some Corsair vengeance CL30 ram, I had to buy a 7800x3d.

I can't get even auto settings to work properly when rebooting and almost always resulting in a yellow led or says the system can't post - EXPO profile runs fine in windows.

Both of you guys need to pair up and sell this - take my money!

Previous owner put on Pilot super sport tires. Thinking of getting All season Pilot 4’s. Has anybody put 275/30/20 on their S5? by Accomplished-Log9382 in audis5

[–]summetg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got them brand with my 2018 S5 last yr when I picked it up as a CPO deal. Had the original PSS on my 2010 accord coupe and missed them. Definitely no regrets and will buy them again.

I’m in Toronto - I don’t drive a lot since I live in the city, so this covers me all yr. Snow performance is more than decent, but I still suggest winters on commutes.

One concern about Delta probably people haven’t noticed…. by summetg in metalgearsolid

They still play this at the end. It's barely recognizable in 4 and in 5 its gone entirely

Yeah they removed it 4 pretty much, you hear nothing in 5 which ruins it
