My mate (who managers an accessory shop) got me a set of EBC Green Stuff Rear Pads no problem!

Let me know if you still looking and I'll ask him to find out whether he can still get them.

My standard S4's not really in the same league but I'm interested in coming to watch. Do they allow spectators and is there any charge?

gromit,

I always reluctant to remove the panels as experience tells me they'll never go back on properly and end up vibrating.

Haven't looked into doing on the Audi though, whats the plan of attack, are there any dodgy clips that I'm likely to break?

Can you Guys clarify this problem. I have a rattle on my 98 S4, it only happens at about 1400 rpm, then it's fine. I had it up the ramps today and have sourced it back to what I think you guys are on about. With the Coolant Resovoir removed looking straight down there is what appears to a light weig...

Just Had a look at the Erwin Website, Looks pretty good.

Has anyone any experience of using it, did you get the info you needed?

Or is it better to fork out full wack up front for a bentleys CD?

I'm no expert so don't blame me if it doesn't work but could you simply get some clear silicone sealent from a DIY store and carefully push back the seal to sqeeze a bit under, the peel off any excess.

As I say just a thought

All these electronics, great for simple tuning with nice new software, but a nightmare to trace faults.

Glad it's all good

I've only seen one advert for this transplant and quoted over 12K, but that was to put in a Corrado. If it's not a cheeky question was yours anywhere near this price?

Heat Shield Problems

Following on from my "Topic Rattle @about 1400rpm" I would like to understand more about the Heatshield problem related to early S4's that is raised in many topics. I have today had my car up the ramps to check out a rattle I have on mine and following some good advice I appear to have found it. It ...

Have had the car up the ramps today, and if my understanding of what and where the heatsheilds are is correct, then I believe the rattle is caused by the one on the nearside. I am assuming what we are talking about is the shield over the top of the turbo just in front of the bulkhead. There appears,...

In there there is lots of discussion about trying to get the job done on Warranty. drbroadbent refers to Direct Warranty covering it, I take it from looking at there list of whats covered this is only under the Gold Package? Has anyone actual...

Warranty Direct seem pretty good. I have just been quoted £377 for a year on my 98 S reg with 30K, for their Gold package (strange as my car is nearly 6 Years old, but I've asked for written quote). I have a query with them though as prior to me owning the vehicle the previous keeper took it off the...
