The S5 lease thread
Discussion
Akeap said:
My S3 took about 2 mins to change the exhaust. One thing I will be carrying out is to enable the lane detection when I pick mine up as UK cars have pre-sense city camera built in and this can be carried out.
What other systems can you enable with the back hand method?Hoping for rear parking camera?
Think there is a system which upgrades the crash detection upto 150mph, standard its up to 50mph.
When looking at the guide, it looks like there is a camera in the rear view mirror, which is not standard like the one in the front bumper.
That seems to do most of the work for the option extras?

We have movement!
My car is in QC according to the 'Your Audi' order tracker.
So it's gone from yesterday where it was showing as due to start production on 20th Feb to being finished, overnight.
I have a feeling the tracker might not be all that 'live'.
Anyone else seeing progress?
Nice, you must be buzzing with that! Mine still stuck on 6th March, but your news gives me a small hope I might get it before April...My car is in QC according to the 'Your Audi' order tracker.

Be interesting to see how long it takes to be delivered to you now...

The lease co' told me 2nd/3rd week of March for the car to reach the dealer, so perhaps a couple of weeks from now?

I'm sure there are going to be a few of us here that will be watching this with very keen eye.
Mine has moved to QC after just checking now too..
However I spoke to the fleet department at Audi Sheffield yesterday and they said QC was completed on the 23rd, and the car is now waiting to be shipped.
She said to give a call next week, to see if it has been shipped.
I am expecting this car around 2nd week of March now! SO EXCITED!

I'm expecting yours and mine may arrive together, then. Mine is also coming from Sheffield.
Is yours a Sportback as well?

Have to say guys really excited for you all now and there is going to be a flurry of pics and mini reviews coming onto these pages!
Had mine for 2 months now and still excited to see it on the drive!
I'm getting quite impatient now, waiting for mine, it feels like forever since I made the decision to order it.Had mine for 2 months now and still excited to see it on the drive!
On a separate note Simon, is there a chance you can lift the lining inside the boot and see if the vacuum pumps to the exhaust are visible and accessible? I've been reading up about disconnecting these on previous models, but I don't think anyone has looked into it yet on this latest model.
As noted and discussed relatively recently on here, it does appear that a vacuum pipe can be removed to basically force the valves in the exhaust to stay permanently open. I'm not suggesting you start pulling pipes and, but if you get the chance it would be good for a couple of pictures to see what is visible underneath whatever be boot lining you have - if I thought about this when test driving the car a couple of weeks ago I probably would have been brave enough to disconnect something just to see what it did.

Still only seen one other new A5 on the road - a non met black S5 coupe with grey leather.

I did mention in a previous post that my Golf R was the same in that it missed a couple of stages on the tracker and jumped ahead and I wondered if we'd see the same with Audi...
