do u have the bottom tray cover... if not then get one
especially hitting high rpm's for a long time and going 218 km/h
I used to do the same and my car would get hot... added cover and stays in middle all the time never gets hot---even when hitting 120 mph

moral of story ---get bottom tray cover

Your car is running hot. Please fix it so that you do not burn up your engine.

Your engine oil pressure is low. Please fix it so that you do not destroy engine parts by lack of lubrication.

You only have one hand on the steering wheel. Please fix that so that you do not destroy your car when you hit a bump.

correct me if I am wrong, but is that the S4 logicon (wiper switch, headlight switch, etc)? My S5 looks nothing like that, but I have a vert and she has an airbag, so maybe that is why.

Canadian Car.... Canada uses the metric system, so we have both our speedo's (kilometers)and pressure gauges (kg^2/mm) in metric markings. If the temp gauge listed numbers, it would be in degrees celsius, as opposed to fahrenheit.

S4 N/A's redline at 7000 rpm.

s5 N/A's redline at 8000 rpm due to lighter rotors.

All turbo cars redline at 7000 rpm, but the S5 is more safe for higher than that due to lighter rotors.

The logicon is the sysem and panel controlling the heater and blower fan controls, FYI.

AFAIK, the cluster uses all the same electronics between series. Do you have a picture of yours?

i think he is talking about that little button on the left in the middle...the one that controls the 400 below zero headlight flip up thing...
on the Canadian models they have water squirters in front of the headlamps... just push the button in and voilą.

No chip... only a cone filter in the stock airbox. Pushes like 13 psi on the highway tho. It moves.
