Have a PPF in my car, it's a balls for strangling the sound from the exhaust.

Hope there's no chance of mazda 2.2 style oil dilution issues..... :worried:

There isn’t - gasoline particulate filters don’t need post injection to regenerate, they regenerate during overrun events

Just out from Audi. They got this moved in for us but I’m considering petrol instead. I have asked a lot of people and they are all saying petrol so I’m lost on what to do.

We don’t do the miles (Q3 has 24k in 4years) so is it a better choice to go petrol over diesel??

For the mileage you do please get a petrol - a modern EU6d diesel will struggle to cope in terms of DPF and that goes for any brand

Tbh the Q5 will go back to Audi as a trade in for something else in 4-5years.. yes it does look smart.

I think we are going to go with the petrol. He can have one in for me for the end of Aug..

Anyone know a good company close to Holywood to give the car a good clean every now and then.

Nothing crazy just a good clean and interior clean also

Expect lots of "is that really a 4.5 litre?" Type questions 😂

even the mechanic in my work came back from the Audi dealership saying "there's a 4.0 in the new S5, but it said A5 4.0tfsi on the boot" I had to correct him lmao

Very nice black is a great colour when clean 😂 all other times you just hate it

For a decent wash you could give Bangor Auto Valet a go just off Hamilton Road. Stephen is a nice guy and into his cars

No as the plate is younger than the car

Depending when in 2018 it was registered the latest plate would be 18 or 68 if going for that style plate

Just out from weights. Needs a new bumper, front quarter panel, new headlight as it’s got a crack and either a new alloy if they can’t refurb the diamond cut patterns. Booked in to get fixed in January.

Thank £&@? the other guys insurance is covering it. Going to get the coolant checked on Monday as it just keeps disappearing ffs!! Had it in with Skoda and turkington pit stop and no one can find the bloody leak.

It’s killing me this! Should have kept my run around car just.
