Having just picked up my ex demo (3.5k miles) 3.0 tdi, i have noticed that one of the left hand side LEDs isn't working....being a sunday i havent been able to contact the dealer..does anyone know if this can be easily replaced.and should it be under warranty?....

Check the wiring connectors going into the headlight assembly. Maybe one of them is loose and this is what is causing the problem. If not a call to the dealer tomorrow is in order.

Do you guys realize how nice it is to have an in-forum Audi tech!?

Thanks houseofg,The led lights are part of the headlight and if there was a bad connection all of the led would be out.Are first demo s5 had this on the nsf unit.

I missed the part of a single LED out. You are correct. A bad connection would have them all out as I was thinking.

Now probably a single LED needs replacing which will take the replacement of the entire assembly.
