Re: Contrasting the 5 Series with the 3 Series

Re: Elevated oil level

Is it doing regenerations adequately? Fuel may be present in the oil, and it is also uncommon for the head gasket to be the issue; I would exclude that possibility until all aspects of the DPF are examined, starting with coolant temperatures. Please consult the forum for further information, since i...

Re: AC sensor problem on a 2013 Audi A5.

I remember these plastic coverings. The region around the sensor is quite constrained, and you are likely to get significant abrasion on your knuckle. To alleviate this issue, I have acquired a "Crow foot" spanner to facilitate the task. It is advisable to replace the O-ring at the same ti...
