3.0 V6 TFSI - Pheoaaaaaar!
Discussion
@Dr G - it has a set of your plates on, so I’m assuming it was supplied by you at some point?
The spec is good, not brilliant, however I only picked it up late last night so need to have a play / explore. It has the big 20” alloys, fully electric seats, front and rear parking assist, heated seats and B&O - which are all the essentials for me. It is missing cruise control and memory seats, which I would have liked.

Cruise control can be retro fitted, I had it done in my old S1 by Hazzy Dayz, and they even came to my house to do it.
I have a 2014 S5 Cabrio - I had it remapped with a stage 1 APR 99 Ron map, and the DSG remap too. The difference is astonishing, it went from ~330bhp to 450bhp with no hardware changes. I highly recommend it!

Great information, thanks. I’ll be fine without cruise control for a while I have a 2014 S5 Cabrio - I had it remapped with stage a 1 APR 99 Ron map, and the DSG remap too. The difference is astonishing, it went from ~330bhp to 450bhp with no hardware changes. I highly rocommend it!
As for a remap, that is an incredible difference. It already feels very, very fast, with a lovely smooth delivery of power!
Only issue I can find this morning is this windscreen rubber. Bit of glue, or silicone?
I've just noticed yours isn't actually an S5, rather an A5 with the same 3.0TFSI. Didn't even know they did that! Presumably it's still supercharged? It seems to have the same CO2 emissions as the S5 at 199g/km, but the bhp is 268 vs 328 of the S5, so presumably a remap would unleash the extra power. Maybe it's already been done?
Yes, I didn’t even know they put this engine in an A5, I had previously only seen it in A6s. Hence why I jumped at the chance to buy it. I have been looking at S5s, but my budget was only going to get me an early model with high miles and poor history, so when I discovered this it seemed a great option. I like the fact it only looks like a basic A5, but with a big lump under the bonet!
As for the engine, I know very little about it. I’m hoping someone will be along soon to enlighten me! The guy I purchased the car from was the third owner, having owned the car for a few years. He seemed pretty conservative, in his 60s, so I doubt he remapped it. But, I guess it could be..

Yeah it'll be supercharged if it is a 2012 vintage. Small pulley and a remap from some silly power!

Yup, I sold it to the previous owner. Small world!The spec is good, not brilliant, however I only picked it up late last night so need to have a play / explore.
