check to go to a 10w30. Your book should show what can be used.
in your book should be a scale based on the temp of the area you live .

similar to this below , a 5w is to thin for SA conditions ( 5 is artic weather)

That's a chart from probably 40 or 50yrs ago.
For modern engines you want the the thinnest cold rating oil so the oil reaches the heads and all over the engine asap after startup, if it wasn't so expensive 0W would be the best, it’s the warm rating that affects the actual operation of the engine. For higher mileage modern engines 0W40 would be the best but 5W40 is not far behind.
 
Audis to become more expensive, in upmarket shift with focus on quality over quantity

Mercedes isn’t the only German premium carmaker shifting its focus to the upper end of the market. In future you can expect Audi products to become more desirable but more expensive too.

In an interview with Auto Express, Audi’s UK boss Jose Miguel Aparicio said the company planned to increase the centre of gravity in terms of price, with an increased presence in the larger segments.

“That means a significant increase in price, and in order to do it successfully we really need to create this brand attraction and desire,” Aparicio said.

“The essence for this is product innovation, but we also have to offer a premium customer experience to them; we are talking about making an evolution, moving upwards.”

Aparicio told the UK-based publication that within the Volkswagen Group, there was space below Bentley in which Audi could comfortably shift upwards.

“It’s not a fundamental change, it’s an evolution and has to be followed by adjustments to the customer experience; it’s something we have to do with our retail partners.”

The UK boss added that the dawn of the electric era gave premium brands a fresh chance to change how they are viewed by customers - although this could be as much of a risk as an opportunity.

S4 and quattro, once you are balls deep in that one you'd probably wish you'd never taken it on even it was free.
Awesome vehicle though when it’s not in limp mode.

As long as it is a manual they generally good, some issues with carbon build up due to the DI setup but that can be sorted, maintenance can be a ball ache on those V8's though.
 
Good guy Matt from High Peak Autos dropped a vid earlier of a major job for his 2009 S5, a stupid amount of money. The infamous timing chain, labour intensive ~ engine out job.

Highly recommend.

 

The German Car Industry Is Dying - And Cars Like This Audi Q4 E-Tron Are The Reason Why - JayEmm on Cars​

Today I drive the Audi Q4. In other times, it might simply be a passable, but overpriced effort from a manufacturer that I quite like.

But these are not normal times, and the Q4 is unforgivably bad.
