Did you get one ? I got a 3ltr diesel one a few months ago and just couldn't be happier. Averaging 38mpg and get up to 45mpg on the motorway on a long distance.
I just can't praise this car enough.

I have a 2013 3.0 TDI A5 coupe and not had any of the above problems but I read somewhere the problems were ironed out with the facelift versions.
I would take it to an Audi dealership to have it checked out as it is obviously a recognised problem.
As a footnote Scotty13 I see you are in Caithness, my old hometown is Wick.

Now I'm getting worried. Audi must be aware of this increasing problem. Anyone know if it is being addressed ?

Very smart John thanks for sharing! Is that black or a very dark blue?
Thanks James. It is Moonlight Blue. Sometimes looks black and others it looks very blue.

It has the A5 and TDI Quattro but no 3.0 on it.
-
Bear in mind that so far I have been driving it very carefully and virtually within the speed limits so I expect these figures to change a bit after I get used to the car and drive more like I normally drive 😱
I do enjoy the fact is does not say 3.0 on the back.😚

Unbelievably, it is automatic !

Yes, the weather is meant to get a bit better this week which is good.
How is the 3.0tdi on fuel?
I am completely overwhelmed by how good the fuel consumption is. Chester to north of Aberdeen, a distance of 428 miles gave me 45.3mpg. Around town here I am getting mid to late 30's. I really didn't expect to get anywhere near this.

No photos yet, waiting for the rain and snow to stop first then a plethora of photos will arrive. Loving this car more and more.

Yes. We live right out in the country and our road covers in snow very easily hence the reason we must have a 4 wheel drive and also why I had to go the quattro route. Well, that's my excuse anyway 😉

Nice, good result then!
I'm assuming you're having a few sleepless nights at he moment waiting for the new car?
Guess what? I flew to Manchester yesterday and they collected me, took me to Chester where I collected the car and drove the 440 miles home. What a drive, never had so much fun. This car is incredible. Comfortable, very quick and handles like it is on rails.

Thanks James. Came from a Freelander 2 which I will keep.

Yesf, xenon plus. I have just discovered that Audi speak for bi xenon is actually xenon plus so question answered. 😊

Just bought a 2013 Black Edition A5 3.0 TDI Quattro Coupe. Don't actually get it delivered until next Saturday so it is going to be a long week. First automatic I have ever owned and first 3ltr. too.
It is in Moonlight Blue Mtlc. and looks as sweet as a nut. Can't wait to get it and looking forward to being an active member on this forum.
