The best s5 made i reckon, i have an 09 in Daytona Grey, sunroof, cream interior, every option ticked, 20 inch Audi rotor wheels and rear muffler deletes. Iv owned many v8s, Holden 6.2ltrs, hemi 6.4ltrs and fords etc. The Audi with its awd matched to the v8 is like no other. Its like a cross between a wrx and v8 powered sedan. They were ahead of their time by a mile
Had mine for 6 years and it’s gorgeous, it got rear ended a week ago sadly and have put my order in for my 2020 Alfa Romeo gulia quadrofolio, but one day il buy another and keep it along side my other cars
henry wilson sorry to hear that Henry but rest assured the Quadrofolio will bring your smile back! Check out our review on the original!
Im looking to finally buy a S5. Any big problems you had along the Way or something I should lookout for when buying?
@@stonksag3999 I have an S5. Check the timing chains before buying. I’m pretty sure the S5 V8 doesn’t have the timin chain issues of the B7 S4 cause different engines but it’s good to check. In addition, bushings/control arms wear fast, as do pads and rotors. Also, the cars need to be carbon cleaned every 60-80k miles. Great car tho
@@abassi1173 thx!
@@stonksag3999 To add what Adeeb said, you also want to double check coolant leak issues, reservoirs tend to crack. Head gasket oil leaks, and around 100k + the thermostat/Water pump (they come together when replaced), AC Compressor, and Serpentine belt all need to be replaced.
GTD, any updates? I bought my 2012 S5 in November 2017. Absolutely love it! Haven't made any mods to it yet, not sure what I want. It's a daily driver for me too.
I bought a 57 plate back in July last year! 100% put a aftermarket exhaust on. Didn’t do the V8 justice! Miltek Cat back non Res was the system I went for. Sounds amazing now. Well worth considering
Aaron Reynolds yup, been lucky enough to take a non res Miltek out for a spin and the difference is unreal! Piggy bank is slowly making it there!
ive done a lot of research and ill just take out the rear mufflers. it has a similar sound to a resonated milltek. and its a third of the price.
I've got a 2008 v8 S5 and I've added a nonresonated cat back but when the car was up in the air I had to change the down pipes as well as the original pipes have resonators which the milteck S are straight through. Sounds incredible now. First few days after I did it I thought I'd gone too far, but now I love it. With the k&n panel filter and stage one map it's an incredible car
fireblade929 Milltek downpipes as well as exhaust or different brand ?
Guys That Drive all milteck
This car must be older, I have an 2014 S5 and I ordered it out of the factory. The engine in the Prestige line was the 6 cylinder, supercharged version. The V8 was gone from the lineup by the time I bought mine. Interestingly, except for the color (mine is Daytona Grey Pearl) and the left hand drive, automatic transmission, my car looks Identical. Even the wheels are the same. The badging is different, this vehicle has "V8", mine came with "V6T" which I had taken off (because in reality it is not a turbocharged engine) and replaced with the badge it should come with and that is "Supercharged". Nice car... hope that you are enjoying it!
I have a 2011 Audi S5 4.2 manual transmission. I went with the AWE Touring Exhaust with non res downpipes along with AWE carbon fiber s-flo and it is awesome. Eventually I am going to get a JHMotorsports short shifter and crossrod and tune.
Jonathan Wilson yea I have been looking at the short shifter as well, looks like a nice quick fix !

love the lights
Bought my s5 v8 2 years ago,love every minute i'm behind the wheel in it😊
is it reliable ? Timing chains and everything? Thinking of buying a 07-08 too
In just over 2 years the only thing i have had a problem with has been a battery replacement.I use it as my daily driver,the fuel economy can be a sore point but no other problem's so far👍
How has it handled the daily driving? How is the fuel economy in city and urban roads? I'm a hair away from picking one up for myself too 😁
@@WH4TH3F0X That's great thanks! So you mean you get 8 mpg in the city when you're pushing it? what about casual driving in the city, how bad is the mpg then?
@@reeseboi8704 MPG is not great, but manageable. The main biggest expenses will be control arms, leaks here and there, oil changes (takes pretty much 10 quartz to fill), and after about 100k + you will need to replace thermostat/water pump(come together), Ac compressor, starter (the literal hardest part to get to and will cost the most), and serpentine belt
I actually just bought a 2011 s5 with the v8 about a month ago. And I had the same reaction, inside you couldn't really hear the growl of the exhaust. I ended up getting the B&B exhaust. I'm in the US and that was a cheaper option for me. But it sounds good. Not crazy loud, but it definitely makes it sound like a v8.
I left the stock downpipes, which each have a resonator. Then with the new exhaust comes an x-pipe to replace the midpipe, and then the rest of the exhaust which has mufflers and tips.
I've heard good and bad from milltek, but I don't have it so can't say really. It seems the best quality are the AWE exhaust. The track exhaust is louder, while the touring is more stock sounding. But that brand is more expensive.
I have heard that the milltek have a little drone, but if you leave the stock downpipe then it shouldn't be an issue.
Remember, the only things making the exhaust quieter are the mufflers and cats (which are on the headers of this car, and require an engine drop to replace, so they are staying on mine). The resonators are ok to leave on the downpipe, as they help cancel out certain frequencies, and make it not sound as raspy.
Speaking of interior color, I love the red leather myself, that's what mine is. But to each their own. The black leather looks awesome as well.
There are a few good forums with loads of info about these cars, and exhaust, so just do some research and make your choice. Definitely don't think you would go wrong with a milltek. These cars sound amazing when they aren't so restricted. And if you do leave the stock downpipes, and decide later on you want a little different sound, then you could always change those at a later date.
Hope that helps!
helpmefindwaldo Wow! Sounds like you did your research! Thanks for the advice. We don’t see the B&B over here so it’s looking like a Milltek and agreed on keeping the stock down pipes as this will be a daily Drive!
helpmefindwaldo I just purchased a 2012 S5 and I have been looking at the Billy Boat Exhaust. Did you get the Sport version?
Really considering one of these. Totally agree regarding the red leather,not for me that. Is the performance impressive? I know they can't be tuned much without throwing a 10k supercharger on it. Lovely car though.
Great video guys, nice s5, just out of interest ,what was the mpg ?cheers
@2:48 "Injector covers done in red"..... mate those are the ignition coils that are what you're referring to as "done in red"
My wife just bought a 2011 s5 with 27k. Beautiful car with v8 sound, not the fastest but who cares. Proper👍
Ryan Serdan 354 hp is fairly average in this day and age. I like the older S5’s because of the styling, Quattro and v8 sound. It’s bad ass and sophisticated.
@@zmurray9499 that's exactly why I bought mine. V8 growl , quick , and kicks ass in the snow, while being elegant.
ratman19731 older avant 4.2 would be cool too!
@@zmurray9499 or the brand new rs6 avant 🤤
What did she pay for it I just bought one similar miles ??????
Does anyone know if the S5 is lower than a normal A5?
I've had my 08 sprint blue S5, V8 manual for about 3 years now. Got it at around 85k and is now at 137k. Alcantara interior with black and carbon fiber accents. It's been a dream to drive, a bit expensive to maintain but that is expected with these cars. Make sure you have a good mechanic because the services on these cars are a bit tricky to learn if one doesn't have any experience with them. I wish it was better built to deal with the heavy front weight of the car, the engine is literally bullet proof but i cant say the same for the other parts used
What services were tricky for your car?
@@koopspook The starter is a nightmare to get to. Its placed really deep inside towards the bottom of engine, a lot of work to get to it and even harder to fit it place. Thermostat is sort of the same story but much easier to get to, although its connected to water pump so you replace both at the same time. The intake manifold needed to be replaced when I took in for a carbon cleaning since one of the plastic things(cant remember name) broke off. The clutch itself is still original, at 145k miles now but its started to lose its grip. Overall, the main issues that arise with this car is that it needs someone who genuinely cares because it takes getting used to when taking off front end bumper to work on it and putting it back together properly with diligence. Never ever buy anything that isn't straight from VW.
Congratulations with your new car! Very nice spec 👍🏼 I would put an aftermarket exhaust on tbh...
AllBlacks NZ Thanks! All we can say is "watch this space!"
@@GuysThatDrive Still watching "this space" lol.
I have one of these. 2011 in Daytona grey on black with a manual. Bought it as a CPO with 18k miles. The original owner ordered the Daytona grey as a custom color, which I was pretty pleased to find. Anyway it drives beautifully. It has long legs for sure, the engine is so smooth and gratifying. Fortunately I’m in the states where gas is cheap. Anyway, will you rapscallions please do a few more videos about this car and how it’s been for you? Something better than the carbon cleaning of questionable effectiveness? Thanks, fellas!
Greg Wolf Yeah I’m about to buy an 08 S5, however, being in New Zealand, running this won’t be very cheap at all lmao
Rule number one of a "car TH-camrs" one word.... Armytrix 😋😋😋
Max Forster Armytrix valvetronic systems are something special, maybe even too much for the S5...Milltek seems to be the best bang for your buck!
Hey mark CONGRATES on the S5 V8.. I got mine 4 weeks ago and love it... please look at the Capristo exhaust... it's what I'm planning to get sound amazing. Good luck with the mods and I'll be watching closely. RS5 grill is on the way 👍🏽
Maurice Parchment Clarke Congrats to you to! They are epic cars and Capristo exhaust sound the business!
BRO WHAT IS THE UPDAYE ON YOU'RE CAR
Mine has the red leather with phantom black paint, great combo imo :) be doing a muffler delete soon to really get that V8 soundtrack. PS DAB radio sucks, UK bandwidth is terrible.
definately need an exhaust mod to get best out of that V8! :)
Just a muffler delete will do the trick. It'll sound clean and mean.
Hows your mpg been so far? Only thing stopping me is I do around 280 miles per week for work, so guessing around £70 a week on fuel.
HollowmanVIII My week is made up of a dual carriage way commute and a blast at the weekend and I average 21mpg and get about 250miles from a tank!
You do seem to be at the fuel station a lot but the V8 reward is so worth it!
Nice car , I done the v8 Audi thing (s4) soon got bored and went e46 m3!
Nice move, e46 M3 values are on the up. How does the mpg compare?
You did crystal meth at the time?
@@simonwright6163 did around 270 miles on a tank in my E46 M manual
Does these have the same issues with the chain as the S4
Nope. The B8 S5 shares the same reinforced chain tensioners as that of the RS4, whereas the B7 S4 uses the unreliable, time bomb plastic ones.
Your S5 has a nice deep growl, oddly enough I have a 2010 S5 which sounds much tamer...what gives?
Carl T. How often have you stood at the back of your car and heard it rev up? A different animal from inside the car !
Great Video! Amazing value those V8 S5's, just expensive to run! Certainly has more character than the brand new S5, even the new RS5 :-(
Joe Achilles Glad you like it! I get a whopping 7mpg stuck in traffic! definitely hurting the purse strings but the V8 burble is worth it! Would love to compare new vs old, exhaust notes would be crazy different.
7mpg in traffic jesus christ. Im looking to buy one but that is very offputting...
What character, a noisy engine on a luxury coupe, with horrible Mpg
has i given you any issues? i fell in love with this car when it first came out and i really dont need it since i have another car but i want to buy a v8 s5 just to keep my promise to myself. any issues with it? Is reliability good? may just go out and buy one.
hussein saab 9 months into ownership and only unexpected issue was a failed coolant pump, as I use it as a daily driver, I am chuffed with current reliability
Guys That Drive Guys That Drive thank you so much for letting me know! Still a head turner? Going to subscribe now. Keep making amazing content, I see a great future for you guys.
Has the timing chain failed yet?
Love to chat shit about things you have no idea of. google is your friend.
They dont have the shit tensioners like the b7 s4, they are exactly the same tensioners as on the rs4.
an awd v8 2 door coupe with a 6 speed? Im buying mine for 7k this weekend.
How has it been for you?
SloMo dude sold it the night before I was going to drive down and buy it. Bought a ram 2500 and been making great money with it.
Luke Knighton damn annoying man. I’m about to grab an s5 for 7k too. How’s the ram? Cheers
SloMo it’s good except I get 11mpg everywhere lol
7k! whats the miles! salvage?? thats super cheap for an s5
Nice motor Mark, as somebody else said - please go Armytrix on this baby - check this video out -

@@120express9 understeer.
ratman19731 damn bruh i gotta watch out for that then sayin u got a rs7 now 😎
I had one of these cant even keep up with the 635d bm ive just sold-fuel consumption couldnt even match it let alone performance
