7)   lol
No they are not :) - 【Audee™】

8)   you pay a little more for oil filters, and pads, and rotors, little extra though is nothing in regards to preventative maintance. I would rather throw in 5-10 extra bucks for filters and pads with sensors,ect.... then letting my car break and forking out thousands of dollars for a new trans or motor. Parts for my car are reletively easy to find btw... - nextjj34

9)   Yes and the prices are high as hell. - Wegiel

Question 2
How much does it cost to replace brake pads on an Audi S5?...  And wear can I replacement brake pads for the same car?

Answers
1)   i don't understand what your asking - antonio m

2)   front brake pads are 40.00 to 80.00 - standard or high premium quality..
labour bout house or so looking altogether around 200.00 or so
doing it yourself isnt hard, cheap as 40.00 and you got brakes changed. - Snoman

3)   I took my audi to midas baster guy told me $400 just to change them i told him to go to hell. so i told my friend he change it for just a burger and fries and he put ceramic brake pads they are the best.. - cfast4u2

4)   more than you can imagine. - Marc

5)   If I was you I would put cermamic brake pads on. They don't cause as much dust and give better stopping power. - Anthony

6)   the cost of the pads and then if you want to have someone do them, its gonna cost more. Do us all a favor and use ceramic pads. they may be a little more, but they prevent brake dust which also prevents rust on your rims. Good luck, look for them at your local auto shop.(autozine, advance auto, etc...) - Corey

Answers
1)   If you cannot get the answer here despite posting it twice then I really would suggest you phoning an Audi dealership.

Explain the problem to them and they will offer proper advice. - Amazingwoo

But take ur car to a good mechanic
and explain ur prob - Jaffer

3)   I used to own an Audi, and I can tell you that to have one repaired costs about 3 times what other makes would cost for the same problem.. - groundhog

4)   Hello

A couple of questions

You do not say how many keys you have and if this problem is with one or both of them?

If you can check in your owners Manual if you have one

Did this start happening after you changed the Fob Battery?
If yes.
1, You may have had the battery out to long ((My Vectra has Max of 30 Seconds) If this is the problem the spare should still work) so it has now got to be Re-matched to the Car, Sit in car, Doors shut, Switch On ignition (You now have 10 Seconds) and press either Lock or Unlock button on the Fob and release. If the Central Locking now cycles by locking and unlocking the doors you have fixed it.
2, You may have dropped the chip from inside the Fob (If this is the problem the spare should still work) You will need to get the Fob re-chipped.

If you have done nothing and this started unexpectedly then check the Central Locking Main fuse Mine is by itself and 30 Amp rated on the Fuse Box inside the car, Central Locking will still work on key but that should also switch off the alarm.

In either case the Immobiliser will not be affected as that is on a different system and is switched off when you push key into the ignition and is not part of the chip system.

Hope this helps

Question 5
Water is not draining from under the bonnet of my Audi A4?...  I have an R reg Audi A4 estate and i've noticed that the rain water is not draining away from under the bonnet. It all collects up and then pours out as i'm going round corners. There is also water leaking into the passenger side footwell. Does anyone know where the drainage hole is on these models because i'm guessing thats its blocked up. Also, the heating is not working. I've had a new thermostat fitted but still nothing. The pipes under the bonnet are getting nice and hot but it's not coming through into the car. Could this have anything to do with the water problem?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Answers
1)   If you are getting water on the floor is it coming in from around door or from under the dash if it from under the dash then you should check the heater core to see if it is leaking that would be why you are not getting any heat or it could be plugged up and needs to be flushed. - opj62

2)   Dig around under the bonnet below the windscreen, that's where the drain holes should be.
Lack of heat and leaking are not related. - Ian

3)   the water is collecting in the heater intake scuttle just below the w/screen leaves and such gather in there and block the drain holes, have a look for them and clean them out. - J R

4)   the drain holes are under the battery tray - JACQUI
