S5 running costs at 50k plus?
Discussion
I have a 2008 model with 75k on the clock.
I know it has had a headlight self adjuster replaced - it cost about £800 as the rear axle had to be removed to do so!!!
It does have a bit of a whine coming from the rear which appears to be the diff.
It also has an increasingly loud clutch release bearing.
Thankfully I am under a very good warranty which specifically covers the tw items above - even covers the clutch plate. I intend to get these issues looked at before the warranty expires.
Having done a bit of research before I got mine, there does seem to be an issue with the clutch, but other thn that, they appear to be pretty good on reliablilty.
