Hallo Everyone !!!
I recently become a new owner of Audi A5 2.0tfsi manual,I have to admit I never owned one and never been a big fan of it until now.
It looks good, quality of materials inside are good too you all know that. It is my first Petrol car always drove BMW diesels, 325d 4 cylinders 215hp. now changed to 190hp Audi a5 and it is slow I mean you don't feel its going forward , I know it has les newtonmetres etc, is heavier car,petrol drives different to diesel, etc .Ok I'm comming straight to the point.
My questions are as follows and I'm hoping to get some advice tips and recommendations from all of You in regards this particular model, engine, maintenance, perhaps tuning etc.
Oil change intervals and oil recommendation ? I am using 0W20 shell helix and will change oil every 6000mls as I did in all my previous vehicles, Audi recommend I think is 10 or 15k oil change interval using long life rubbish, what is your opinion on that ??? also are you flushing the system prior to to the oil change, was reading something about it somewhere.
Cam chain or belt replacement ? I think it have a chain but You tell me ? and when should it be replaced ? My car covered 38.000mls I did not receive any service book just a print out from Audi when service has been done. On my Mmi small screen I can only see the next oil change that's it very poor.😀
Coolant interval change ? also should I replace the plastic coolant reservoir with a aluminium one? I read. somewhere that they tend to melt or is it the housing self because apparently it is to close to the engine not sure, heat coming from the engine could have some impact on that. Please let me know if this is still the case or what this in earlier models?? My Audi is 2017 reg.
Fuel filter interval change how often ?
Break fluid change how often ?
Performance increase remap without changing any hardware turbo etc how much. increase is possible to be on the safe site ? remember my car is a manual not auto and not quatro
any recommendation regards garage south Wales region ? please not a back yard garage where you. get eco remap from the shelf
I strongly believe that someone will be able to answer all those questions and even get much much more tips for my old new Audi .
Thanks in advance
Rob .
