Hi All,
I have previoulsy been a TT owner on Mk1 and Mk2 TTS and had many cars over the last 15 years. I have not owned a car for the last 4 years due to house purchase, now i am changing jobs and going back to working at sea ) 3 months away and 3 months home...
I Bought my 2007 plate Audi S5 last week, Bearing in mind the following...
1. No service history
2. No second Key
3. Steering Noise
4. Rear bumper has been resprayed and can see orange peel affect if looked close
5. Front Passenger arch half missing
I drove the car away and almost got home before the EML came on...
Plugged in to check the fault and found cylinder 4 missfire..
Due to work i had no time last week to play with the new toy, so i sent it to my local 5* rated garage. They found the steering rack fixings loose and cylinder 4 coilpack faulty/ fixed..
Next day the engine is flashing EML intermitantly with no DS codes reading.
Yesterday i completed a Oil filter / Oil and Air filter service and checked Spark plugs for condition and type.
All looked ok and the same type as my replacement type (NGK plat)
Today, i went for a drive and found another 2 cylinders missfire and Pack A ????
im confused to what Pack A means, i Guess its side A which would be cylinders 1-4 but unsure.
Im gona have a play tomorrow and look at ordering the rest of the 7 coil packs due to the common fault with them.
I have also found out now that the undercover for the engine is missing / the car has been lowered with springs only... .. .. . ..
Any advice and experience appreciated.
Thanks as always
Christopher White
