This service and repair manual is written for the 2027 Audi S5 Cabriolet, the performance version of Audi's four-seat soft-top. It combines the driveline and chassis coverage an S-badged car needs with the sections specific to a convertible body: hydraulic and electrical operation of the folding roof, roof position sensors and end-stop learning, rollover protection deployment logic, the reinforced body structure, and the drainage channels whose blockage causes most of the water-ingress and trim complaints on cars of this type. Procedures are symptom-led, backed by wiring diagrams, connector pinouts, measured value tables, torque figures and full removal and installation steps.
Powertrain
- 3.0L TFSI turbocharged V6, as fitted to the 2018-and-later F5E convertible S5
- quattro all-wheel drive
- 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission
Those specifications describe the F5E generation and are carried forward from the most recent confirmed model year rather than verified for 2027. Audi's erWin service portal also lists a new-generation A5, S5 and RS5 chassis under the FU2 code from 2025 onward, so exact output, transmission and trim naming for a 2027 car should be treated as subject to confirmation against your own vehicle data sticker before ordering parts or following a specification-sensitive procedure.
Trims
- Premium Plus
- Prestige
Trim names are carried over from that same baseline year. The two grades differ in lighting, seat, audio and driver assistance content, which decides whether a given control module or sensor is fitted at all, so cross-check the option-dependent chapters against your build.
Known issues on the 2027 S5 Cabriolet. No recalls are on federal record for this model year, and no complaints are logged with NHTSA against it. For a car this new that is an empty owner record rather than a clean bill of health, so use the manual's guided fault-finding rather than assuming earlier S5 convertible patterns carry across. On any A5 or S5 soft-top the first checks worth making are the roof drain outlets, the microswitches and Hall sensors that report roof and lid position, and battery state of charge, since low voltage alone will lock out top operation and set faults that read as mechanical.
Built for the 2027 model year specifically, this manual gives an independent shop or an experienced owner the same structured reference an Audi dealer technician follows, from maintenance intervals and fluid capacities through coding, adaptation, component overhaul and network-level fault diagnosis.
