Hello,

I am about to finalize the purchase of a 2014 S5 manual with roughly 80k miles on it. Wondering if there were any last minute major things I should inquire about like major mechanical issues or known issues with these cars before signing. Thank you!

Try to get a chance to cold start it after an overnight shutdown and listen for timing chain rattle on start up. Mine did it at about 40k miles. Dealer replaced upper tensioners with new versions. Two years and 18k miles later and it’s been perfect. Seems to be a rare problem. Few mentions of it in forums. Otherwise car has been really solid.

Thank you very much! I will ask about it!
