Hi, can someone please let me know the part number for the complete unit (adaptive cruise control)? mine has failed and audi want £2,500 to get it done. they cannot even tell me the part number as it is company policy not to do so. thanks Gary

hi paul, audi want £281 for the bulb and to change it lol just checking my warranty now to see if both problems are covered.....

ok so the you tube video didn't relate to my 2014 S5. It is a different set up behind my lights. Anyway, the headlight unit will not come out even after removing all bolts. As the unit will not pull out, i can't get to the back because of the cover of the air filter. So off to audi to get my pants pulled down :( on top of the £90 i paid foe the HID bulb unit. add this to the adaptive cruise control not working on a 2014 with 17k miles on it! first audi ive had and with after being told about how i would never have any problems with an audi....this is my fourth in the first 6 months of owning one! God i miss my M3 :(

Wow...don't i feel like a muppet?! many thanks mate

Hi, Hope someone can help me. Two things: 1) I have a 2014 S5. My adaptive cruise control doesn't seem to work. I have a non flashing, permanent red light on the dash. I have fiddled with the lever to make things work but nothing happens? 2) I have a small round side headlight bulb out. Hallford's said the housing is too complicated for them. Anyone know how much Audi charge to change? Many thanks Gary

great thanks Lanky

Hi, Anyone got any contacts in Birmingham / Walsall for updating software on my 2014 Audi S5 satnav? or do i have to to to Audi? Thanks Gary

no offence taken anyway Steve, was just posting some hopefully useful info :)

just in case anybody is interested........ found out that the problem was the gearbox. Audi diagnosed it incorrectly as the Rear Diff and replaced a new Diff and gearbox. as the car only has 14k miles on it, Audi didn't want me bad mouthing their Quattro system so they paid for it at a cost of £16k! :)

Hi All, i have recently bought an Audi S5 - 2014 15k miles only. i have a noise underneath the car behind the driver seat. It can only be described a s a double click (just like unlocking your car by remote) there is no pattern to it. slowing down / changing gear auto and paddles, speeding up, braking....i have tried everything, nothing triggers it. it just happens randomly. it is so annoying i have to turn my music up! audi have stripped the gearbox, carried out a 24 point check and haven't a clue as the car looks tip top! At £180 per hour i have had to pull the car out of there. they won't cover me themselves as the car is 2 months out of warranty (don't worry, they will pay for it by the time i am finished with them). Anyone else ever had a noise like this?

Interesting. this is all good feedback for me. i will know once i top up the card O2 have given me. i will then trial it with 5GB.

Well that has thrown a cat amongst the pigeons, especially reading Davis post before your's! What exactly was draining your data? Streaming?

Thanks Tom. i will order a 1GB 3g sim to try out first. thanks for the feedback!

No problem, Trevor, thanks for your input on the data usage

Hi Trevor, I have heard that the sim conflicts with the bluetooth phone function (i.e you cannot make or receive calls while the sim is in use)?

Hi, Audi S5 2014. i have ordered a 4G Three Sim card to put in my car. i have the entertainment package High and it has a Sim slot and 2 x SD card slots. the sim has 12Gb of data on it lasting 12 months. I have two questions: 1) Will this sim be ok to use? (i.e. will it work?) 2) Do you think the Google Earth sat nav map will use up the data quickly? Or isn't it as draining as a streaming video for instance? Many thanks Gary

hi Trevor, If i find you are correct, should one of these be worn after £14k miles? thanks Gary

Hi Both, not sorted yet. Took it to Kwik fit for them to check underneath / wheels etc.. they found nothing. They took it for a test drive (two of them) and said its nothing they have come across before. The one Kwik Fit guy said it is like a central locking noise and afterwards i understood his view. it sounds like when you remote unlock your doors. but it is coming from underneath the car. very frustrating! i am going to take it to audi.

yeah no difference either cold or hot engine. not driven hard. driven hard you wouldn't hear it. not definitely coming from the box, just feels that way. thank for the link mate. will take it in and then maybe go down this route if they fob me off. cheers Bradley, i appreciate your help.

Hi Bradley, i wouldn't pick anything up on record. It is not a persistant / consistant noise. There is no pattern to it. All i know it is like a scrape / click and a clunk all in one but not really loud. so frustrating that i can't describe it in words. It is an automatic (7 speed dual clutch). the noise comes when cruisiing / slowing down , speeding up, basically whenever it feels like it! Do you think Audi would check it over for considering it is only 2 months out of warranty? Gary

Hi Gareth, sorry about the post in the wrong area, still getting used to site. automatic - full history out of 3 year warranty by 2 months

hi All, Audi S5 2014 - 14k miles. i have just changed from having M3's the last few years. can you tell me if it is normal to hear an occasional clunking noise (i.e is it the gearbox changes?). the only thing that makes me doubt that it is the gearbox, is that it sometimes happens when it isn't changing gear. i just cannot see how it can be anything sinister with only 14k miles on the clock? Or could it be a bearing??

hi all, can anyone tell me where i can get some quality mats for the 2014 s5 sportback? thanks Gary

thanks Steve. useful information. i am purely after performance improvement (not that i am unhappy with the current performance ha ha). i have a 2014 with 14k miles on it. many thanks Gary
