Bought a '14 S5 just a few months ago and have been watching these closely for mod ideas, keep em up! Kind of a longshot but have you or any of your mechanic friends experienced a creaking/rattle coming from around a wheel when going over bumps/mounting inclines? 2 mechanics have looked at the suspension on the corner it comes from and can't see anything wrong and one thinks it might be my axle for that wheel. Thankfully both mechanics heard it loud and clear so I'm not crazy.
@safeen69122 жыл бұрын
To cure your headlight problem you have to take out the full housing and clean the lens from inside, generally the lens tend to accumilate haze from use over time. I had the same issue on my A5 B8 and cleaned the lens and the difference is day and night.

Mat I bought the k&n air filter for mine and was disappointed in the sound but after cleaning the air filter after a few months I noticed that the lid on the original air box is killing all the sound. Unfortunately it’s needed as the filter will not slip directly onto the pipe so I got a dremel and cut 3/4 of the lid just leaving the 2 back screws closest to the bulk head so the filter can still be attached to the remaining lid and the 2 screws hold it in place nicely. Now sounds awesome and a second hand air box are cheap enough if I do decide to go back to original. Undo all the screws lift the lid a bit and start the car and hear the difference when you rev her.
@MatArmstrongbmx4 жыл бұрын
The k and n isn't really made for noise. By keeping it in the enclosed box your keeping it cool from heatsoak off the engine. A open filter may sound good but it'll decrease your cars performance a fair bit broo
@freestyle-ron-fpv58274 жыл бұрын
Mat Armstrong thanks for your reply, did you notice a performance gain when you fitted the filter because I didn’t what your saying does make sense the colder the air the more oxygen so better performance, I’ve kept the bottom of the air box there so it’s still receives cool air from the pipe that’s connected to the top of the grill but I will have to wait until we get a hot day in the summer to see if I get any drop in performance really. At the moment I’m loving the sound difference but it’s costing me a fortune as I’m putting my foot down all the time. On your TT how was the air filter kept cool when you fitted the induction kit or should I say when your missis fitted it, I know you had to put a heat shield where the pipe when above the manifold but wasn’t that filter left exposed, did you notice any gain on the TT or the s5 with the k&n or would you recommend a different brand to really gain performance
@MatArmstrongbmx4 жыл бұрын
Nah not really on NA engines the increase will be very very minimal. On the TT it lost power due because of heat soak but sounded good 😂 but we see it alot at work where people spend fortunes of induction kits which are open and once they are on the dyno it actually loses power and they end up much better off with the standard filters and air box in
@freestyle-ron-fpv58274 жыл бұрын
Mat Armstrong keep up the good work mate your videos are given me the drive to do work on my car, I’ve got the A4 Quattro 3.0 v6 and everything part wise looks the same as your s5 apart from the engine 😂😂 and your new RS breaks we also done the same things when purchasing the car, service, K&n air filter and Le Mans wheels. My steering wheel is the same too go in a straight line but steering wheel off centre. I’ve had all the tracking done with lasers on computer but it’s still the same so can’t wait to see how you get that sorted been assured nothing is bent, I could talk to you all day mate about cars, I will stop bugging you now and wait until your next video is out I’m sure your a busy man, legend 😎

Hi Matt, great work on the S5 and felt your pain with the rear suspension!
