now i've added audi to my collection

[FarQ]

Car is only 4 years old and 45,000km mind you. Lemon of a thing.

Hopefully i dont have DPF issues, as the passat has just had its 2yr service and its only at 24k km...

I would recommend buying a Carista OBD dongle and the VAGDPF app (about $50 in total) to monitor your DPF (tells you how full it is, how long since last regen, soot level and notifies you when the car is doing a regen).

Well worth the small outlay.

It’s a shame the RS5 wasn’t available in the manual.
Got any pics ?

Yeah, manuals are more fun!

It’s strange that most of the S5 that I have looked at don’t have folding mirrors or memory seats, this one did. And the uptake of other options like blind spot, adaptive cruise, heated seats were not very popular here... weird..

Does it work with the obd11 adapter?

Not sure mate - the OBD11 adapter is not listed as being compatible but you never know. There is a free version of the app with limited functionality so you could try that.

That's a lot of car for $25k. Has the carbon interior trim too = bonus. The standard silver interior trim looks very boring.

Along with home link.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Audi with home link in Australia, and it’s the only option I really want.
