Audi S5

$245k. No room for much discounts but the SE threw in the Carbon Atlas Inlays, a $1.5k option for free...

i think i saw this S5 parked along river valley rd last week.

it was black in colour.

it caught my attention because very seldom i see an Audi coupe.

i was driving at the opposite lane and tried to see the model but it wasn't clear,but i saw a red badge and i just did a search.

it should be the S5.

hmmm ok S5 and R8 in Volkswagen showroom

[Porker]

Sam you selling your 335 for the S5?

[Azrielsc]

No, not selling the 335i. The S5 is for my brother. :)

 

Cheers!

fundamentally, Vees are suppose to be smoother and more compact than in line engines. and especially for in-line 6s, that 2 extra culinders can cause a lot of vibration to the engine, and due to its length, its harder to get a good fit into the engine bay as well. a smooth in-line 6 can only be smooth if built well. whereas for vees, they're naturally smooth due to the cylinder arrangements.

 

You are wrong lah, bro.

 

IL-6 is more inherently-stable than a V6 engine (which require dual counter-rotating balancer shafts, while an IL-6 doesn't need any at all).

 

From the stability standpoint order: Flat-8, V8, Flat-6, IL-6, V6, Flat-4, V4, IL-4 (the most stable first). Unfortunately, Flat-8's are a rarity now, which Porsche had in their racing cars a few decades ago.

 

By inherent stability, engineers define it as a measure of the 2nd-order and 3-order vibrational harmonics.

 

The only problem with an IL-6 is that it is long, so long that you need a longer engine bay, or a shorter gearbox, or both. While V6 are very much shorter, since 3 cylinders are on each bank - whereas IL-6 is limited by the inter-cylinder wall thickness, which dictates how closely they can be packed.

 

Volkswagen got around this dilemma with their 15-degree VR6 engine, which still retains most of the IL-6's plus points and the capability of having one (SOHC), or two (DOHC) camshafts controlling all 24 valves of the 6-cylinders. Whereas a V6 will require separate 2 (DOHC), or 4 (Quad-cam) camshafts to operate both banks of 6 cylinders.

 

For Lexus, they preferred to go the V6 route when the need to push up their engine capacities arosed. That way, they could still couple the engine with larger 6- and 7-speed auto tranmissions. Remember that the IS200 had only a 4-speed tranny, to circumvent the relatively long IL-6 used then. Otherwise, the IS200 will have its gear box and stick behind the driver

Hi,

 

I just bought this car but the servicing is due soon. 

Any recommendation for workshop to go?

Thank you

VAG is in the West side, both Servos are at Sin Ming. VAG is more atas, more suitable for your S5.

 

Did you get the V6 or V8?

U can also try Autokinetics at 290 MacPherson road...

Thank you for sharing. I will go check it out.

Most welcome. The owner drives an S3 so should be quite knowledgeable...
