Description
Stage 1 420BHP remapped Audi S5 3.0TFSI with DSP 7 speed S-tronic gearbox.
Enthusiast owned, well looked after example, recent service, new front discs and pads, HPI clear.
Owned for just over 3 years and it has been a real pleasure to drive. Very good handling, great power delivery and overall a smooth and predictable car.
In our ownership, the following has been done:
- Mechatronic repair kit fitted
- Timing chain tensioners have been replaced, a common issue that is a really difficult job as either the engine needs to be removed or the catalytic converts removed, which are very difficult to get to.
- All oils and filters have been replaced, DSG oil, front diff/center box oil, rear diff oil, engine oil, supercharger oil, engine filter, air filter, pollen filter and gearbox filter
- PCV has been replaced, as well as the thermostat, at the same time intake valves were cleaned (common issue is the valves getting covered in EGR soot and causing airlflow issues) and spark plugs changed.
- new oil filter housing and gaskets (common for these to leak at higher mileage/age)
- new HPFP (high pressure fuel pump), common for these to leak at high miles
- New driver side window regulator fitted
- Stage 1 consists of smaller supercharger pulley, huge K&N air filter and remap with printout
- Full 4 wheel laser alignment with perfect values, showing that there are no hidden issues underneath.
Drives with absolutely 0 issues, everything works as expected, gearbox is very smooth, and does not use engine oil (no top up needed between services). Stock exhaust with catalytic converters in place.
Alloys have been replaced with Audi s6 wheels with slightly wider tyres (255), 2 with less than 2k miles, 1 with less than 5k and the 4th will need to be changed soon. Alloys are scuffed so could do with refurb, but no leaks.
What it is: an honest car that drives well with no hidden issues or problems. Still has many years and miles left in it for someone else to enjoy.
What it is not: a show car in immaculate condition. With over 140k miles, it has various stone chips, scrapes etc but nothing that's obvious from general glance. The driver seat also has a tear that has been "patched", it hasn't got any worse in 3 years but rather be honest.
Audi windbreaker included.
Private plate also included S5 CJU, original plate is KV59 HTU.
Reason for sale is we purchased a mk3 Audi TTRS convertible, so this one is now redundant.
Still in use occasionally, so miles might go up.
