Welcome, be sure to introduce yourself!

So true. I mentioned this in one of my replies in another thread. Didn’t help the idea at all.

So the MB part worked??? I couldn’t find a good source for them and didn’t bother to look again prior to replacing mine. If I can find the OEM supplier, I might be on to something.

Yes works fine, just pop off the lid. I did not have a pick at hand at the time but still managed to change all the o-rings; you probably don’t need to, you can just silicone spray the old ones and leave them on.

I promise when I am you’ll know about it. I have been very busy and haven’t really had time to put my ride back together. It will be within a month time from now. I added a new axillary cooler from the B8 S5 Cab so that will aid my Merc racing HX in keeping my AIT cooler. I also ended up with two CWA100-3 pump so I will be running those (probably overkill) lol

It looks like a flux capacitor that’ll send you back to the future!

Hi all, been lurking for a few months and forgot to introduce myself and my car. I’ll be detailing mods slowly on my IG (@pickle.rs) if you want to follow along. :slight_smile:

Welcome. I will check it out.

Does the 034 transmission mount insert make a difference in the shifts?

Yes, it was a noticeable difference and easy install.

Hey guys!

Finally signed up on here so thought id say hi. I’ve owned my B8 RS5 from new in 2011. Its far from standard now - supercharged, air ride, caged, lots of carbon… the list goes on. I’m sure a few people will know the car but here it is…

Hi everyone!

I’m glad I found a forum to finally join! Shout-out to YouTuber RS5 Fanatic.

I currently own a '13 B8.5 S5 in Monsoon Grey Metallic. I’ve only done a bit to the vehicle but still plan on updating it over time.

  • AWE S-FLO Carbon Intake
  • custom exhaust system with OBDII racing cats
  • H&R Super Sport springs
  • Bilstein B8 shocks

Thank you for having me!

Glad to have you here! I’m RS5 Fanatic (by night, Ape Factory by day, LOL)…we don’t have enough S5’s on this board so glad you joined! Just replied to your battery/bushing inquiry as well.

Hi
My name is Jason from Sydney Australia. I read your carbon clean online which was an interesting read. I have a 2013 black RS5 and love it. Last of the classical V8’s I think. Thank you for allowing me to join

Welcome Jason! We have a few owners from Australia on here. And I think you’re quite right, last of the classic V8’s!

Looking forward to joining in. I’ve had a 2016 Ibis White S4 for a couple years but recently traded it for a 2014 Daytona Gray RS5. Super happy with the move and can’t wait for some of the, hopefully, upcoming JHM supercharger progress.

Very nice and welcome! There’s something addictive about the combination of the high revving V8 and the S-Tronic. No, doesn’t have the bottom end of the 3.0T, especially modded, but it’s simply amazing to drive as you well know!

Good to have you here and don’t hesitate to ask any question. We try to be very positive and supportive here overall. The owners here are an awesome group of enthusiasts.

Hey guys, Andrew Y. from Hong Kong here.

Stumbled here while researching JHM and reached out to Michel over IG regarding the stage 2 tune. My daily drive is a 2013 B8 RS4, apologies if I don’t strictly qualify; the RS5 thread is the next closest thing. Looking forward to exchanging ideas with you.

Have installed pretty much the whole 034 catalogue for B8 RS5, with Bilstein B16 coil overs and some ECStuning bits and Supersprint front DP + mid x-pipe w/ muffler. Handling is all sorted, now I’m looking for more power like mid range torque and weight savings

You can catch me on IG @blu_rs4_hk
