Buying Tips for the Audi A5 Mk2 (F5)

  • ✓Check for water-pump or thermostat-housing replacement history because slow coolant loss is one of the common real-world issues
  • ✓Diesel cars need clean AdBlue and NOx-sensor history - repeated countdown warnings can be expensive outside warranty
  • ✓Test the MMI, Virtual Cockpit, reversing camera, and smartphone connectivity for a full drive, not just during startup
  • ✓Sportback buyers should check the powered tailgate and boot seals for smooth operation and dryness
