Hi Steven.....welcome to the Forum

Has anyone who has replaced the previous batteries said what was wrong with them (e.g. buckled/distorted plates, low on electrolyte, anything suggesting overcharging such as barrelled casing?).

It could be that they have been using a faulty batch of batteries because unless a battery has been overcharged then generally they can usually recover from discharge and even sulphation with a decent battery conditioner being used to trickle a charge overnight.

Hi Andy....welcome to the Forum

Hi John....welcome to the Club

Plenty of information on the site, especially in the A6 section with quite a few recurring issues being talked about.

Good to have you onboard

Cheers,  Trevor

can honestly say I have not seen carbon build up within the engine like that for a very long time!

It seems slightly high....you could always reset it and drive it sensibly to see what it averages out with your driving style

Hi Dan....welcome to the Forum

Plenty of hint and tips available within the forums.

Hi Guy....welcome to the Forum

The BKD engine is a 16 valve and the power output for this range of engines is listed in the Wiki link below:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Volkswagen_Group_diesel_engines

I would advise that you ensure the maintenance tasks are carried in a timely manner and using quality parts as there have been failures within certain engine components since inception and although they are easily rectifiable and relatively cheap to resolve it is just more of an inconvenience than anything.

Hi Seb....welcome to the Forums

A fine collection of Audi's over the years and unfortunate news about the S4 Avant but at least you were okay and the car took the impact force (which is always good to know it can absorb large amounts of accident impact energy)

Hi Nicky....welcome to the Forums

You could try these guys, would be a lot cheaper

Hi Ross

I'm not sure if the data within the SRS control unit has been downloaded by/for Audi as I recall reading an article a few years ago about the data being captured post accident by the manufacturer as the control units were on an exchange programme (obviously being replaced in the event of an accident deploying the airbags) and therefore they kept the old unit and provided a new programmed one.
If this is the case then they (the manufacturer - Audi) would have this data and I doubt they would be sharing it unfortunately.

Hi....welcome to the Forum

Sorry for the late reply, must have missed this post.

Glad you're enjoying the A5, although not the most ideal weather to be appreciating the hood down at the moment

Hi....welcome to the Forum

23 Audi's...thats a tremendous amount of Audi's to have owned over the years!

Hope all goes well with the software update

Hi Nick

See if you can make contact with Brad-B5 as he is in that area and he has set up a few events for the club

There are a few members on here from that area....maybe worth contacting Southampton Graham as he has organised a few events for the club

Seems to be the going price for that particular model...high demand so therefore high price
