Jul 12, 2016 ยท While the 3.0t is a pretty solid engine, like any vehicle there is a possibility for problems. Thanks for the link! A great insight summary for new owners like me. You missed one, oil cooler failure causing oil and water mix to gather in the expansion tank but no sign of water in the oil.

Apr 20, 2019 ยท Sorry to disagree, but Audi is using the sane POS Tstat was used in the b8. It will usually fail somewhere between 60k and 80k miles.The B8/8.5 water pumps have been metal since mid 2011 production.The PCV valves have been upgraded with a newer unit that is less prone to cause oil consumption. The B8.5 do have more bells and whistles.
Apr 18, 2010 ยท The S5 does 0-60 in 4.9 , it does 0-62 in 5.1 officially, many mags clearly have it faster, but 0-60 S5 is 4.9 not 5.1. the new 335is has 20 more hp than the 335i and has about 15 more torque than the S5, the S5 is not slightly heavier but a lot heavier than the 335is.
Jan 12, 2019 ยท I've heard good thing relatively about the JHM tune but The B8.5 RS5 isn't going to get much of a boost as a non-Turbo engine. Be lucky if it really gets over about 10bhp gain, maybe another 5~10 with Catless downpipes. 2003 RS6 (6Spd) 2013 RS5 (Headers, Aluminum DSG Flywheel,JHM Stg2, etc) 2013 S5 (034 Stg2 & TCU)
May 28, 2013 ยท The B8.5 puts down less power, stock, compared to the the B8, but when chipped, it's very similar in final output. Drivetrain loss will be slightly different between the two cars as gearing is different, however the difference between chipped output with the blower at 100% is tiny compared to the stock figures which very great.
Nov 7, 2011 ยท The manual on the RS4 is fantastic. It is better than the manual on the B6/B7 S4, and better than the B8 S4. The motor revs so well, heel-toe downshifts are just fabulous, and they sound epic (especially with the Tubi). I think it's interesting how different the RS5 sounds from the RS4.
