2013 Audi RS5 owner here from Toronto.
Last year if I accelerated quickly going over 3200RPMs or so, I would get a message saying, “Transmission overheating, please drive conservatively.”
It was on extended warranty from Lubrico. Lubrico sent me to three different shops near me and they said they can’t work on the car. It’s a very specific engine. One recommended I get a whole new mechatronic and transmission unit that would cost $15k. But he was just trying to upsell me to his buddy who rebuilds transmissions.
Eventually Lubrico told me I can go to Audi, or find a licensed mechanic myself they can approve. I took it to a mechanic who only works on Audi/VW. He replaced the clutches because they were burned out and overheating. Costed about $2700. Warranty covered most of it. He said IF the problem continues, then we’d look into replacing the transmission CPU. But that would be about $3-$5k depending on how much he can get through parts for.
Glad to say that has never been an issue since. Hoping it won’t be moving forward.
Advice: find a reliable mechanic who actually knows how to work on B8.5 RS5. They’re so rare and it’s difficult to find competent mechanics and parts for them.
The 2013-14 models like ours are the ones unfortunately with transmission issues. But I always loved this car and I got mine with no accidents in the trim I wanted. Couldn’t say no.
4:21 just to chime in as a tech at the dealership, TSBs are not required to be performed like recalls. If the car is under warranty, the work cannot be performed unless all the conditions are met as per the TSB. For example the Audi TSB for this problem states that a P179E code must be logged first, along with with several other codes. If P179E isn't logged or isn't the first to be logged, the TSB does not apply. The dealership definitely would have replaced this sensor before listing it for sale if all conditions were met when the code scan was run for the used car check. Also it is not worthwhile to perform every single TSB released for a car. TSBs refer to any somewhat reported problem that doesn't pose a safety risk. Imagine every single S4, S5, and RS5 that is sold CPO having to have the transmission removed and torn down, the MMI updated, replacing the AC control module, PCV vacuum updated, etc. (and yes, those are just a small list of all TSBs open for a 2013 RS5). All that work just for the possibility that something could break in the cars lifetime. There are few stories I see and have heard regarding the drive mode sensor, the AC module display flickering, and door lock actuators failing.
I hope you get that resolved it sucks to see another RS5 down!I’m currently in the same boat but with a differential/driveshaft issue with 15k USD worth of repairs .
It's in the shop right now getting fixed. But wow that's really bad... sorry to hear that my friend.
That sucks. Been watching a lot of videos about this car and getting hyped about owning one, but they all say repairs are insanely expensive. Apparently they aren’t lying…
I know this repair will be expensive, but while you’re at the gearbox, the flex plates on these things are located very close and can crack/ break and cause catastrophic damage if it decides to while driving. The flex plate itself isn’t overly expensive, and while the gearbox is removed it may be worthwhile considering checking it to avoid a potential disaster.

Had the same issue on my S5... replaced it for about +/- 2k usd equivalent in my local currency... Car is driving like a peach now... thanks for the videos 📹
Damn man...sorry to hear the news about your transmission! I hope the best fortune for you after this repair. The aero kit looks great!
Having the same problem rn with my 2013 rs5 they want me to change the whole transmission but it still drives me
lol typical Audi. I’m on my third Audi and it’s always something with these cars. Thought I got around the issues with a lower mileage Rs5. Had peace of mind. Then one day while cruising I got the dreaded “transmission overheating. You may continue driving” warning. Very similar to this one. Also a “known” issue.
It’s in the shop as we speak but it ended up just needing a mechatronics replacement and that’s about a $3500 job WITH a discount. Idk man. If after this I get some more bullshit I may just go to a different platform. I really want to love and take care of these cars but they are a literal glass canon
shit if i do get this car still then i need to ask about this issue and the brake replacement.
Had similar problem with my rs5 mine was the driver position sensor in the transmission which would shift my car into neutral when I'd slow down ( verry dangerous when trying to turn through a Boulevard) it costed me 8k cause they gotta remove everything and change the seals, oils, gaskets etc
Man this is one of the reasons I went with a newer s4 over the RS5. Didn't want to constantly worry about this happening..
it´s not expensive. Just change the sensor yourself...
Whoa! $7K!!! That's really a bummer, bro!
yeah... pretty brutal...
What’s up man! Congrats on owning the rs5. I’ve owned my 2013 RS5 for about 5 years. Get rdy my friend….. 7k is a lot of money but just wait until you have to change the timing chain. Audi quoted me 17k but a buddy that owns a shop and he did it for about 10k. So if you are really in love with the car, spend the money and keep it as long as you can, but if not, I would probably jump in something else. Me….. I’m so in love with this car. I’m owning it until the wheels fall off.
Sucks so much but some of the 2013 models had the gen 1 DSG which still had DSG issues. What's the build date on your car?
Also, it's reasons like these why I'd be hesitant to buy one without extended warranty even if it's from a 3rd party.
I got mine with extended warranty still have 40k miles left they rejected the coverage because it’s not a mechanical part that is lubricated which pisses me off I payed some good money for it
This is where I think car manufacturers especially higher end ones where you are paying a premium already should really cover certain things like this even out of warranty or at least for more of an extended period. The car is 11 years old, not 20+ years old. To me this is a design failure and anything that is attributed to that should either be fixed or at least subsidised with a heavy discount. $7K+ is ludicrous for something that is a known issue to Audi.
7k is more than replacing the transmission, they are playing you
@@Juan_More_Mile for a used transmission maybe, for a new transmission from Audi they spoke about $25k for the part and install.
I spoke to other shops about a used transmission, they said they could probably find one for 3k to 5k and install would be 1k to 2k so it could end up being the same price only to have the sensor break again potentially down the road.
And...my interest in owning one of these cars is gone
Same man 😢
