Re: S4 Auto's

I would rather take the hit on the mpg and enjoy the V8 with a manual box, auto boxes have their place but depends on your driving style.

Re: WSP Italy wheels?

Hi and welcome. I bought a set of WSP replica S4 Avus III wheels from performance alloys. Overall they are fine, bit of confusion over wheel offsets so ended up with ET35 to ensure clearnace over the brakes but don't believe it is actually required so could have used ET45. Still it does let the whee...

Re: Rs4 alloys will they?

I would buy the WSP Italy replica wheels, you can get them from performancealloys.com. I bought a set of 18" Avus III wheels from them and really pleased with them, only issue I would point out is the paint is quite hard and brittle but other than that they have been fine. Also bought the ET35 offse...

Re: Ad Paid Apps on Android and Iphone

Well I think giving permission for an app to display adverts is not the same as giving permission for someone other than the app provider to download your address book. Its like finding your plumber going through your address book at home just because you let him into the house. Not acceptable in an...

Re: New Arrival - TURNING INTO A NIGHTMARE

Been through this with an S4, finally rejected the car after 6 months for a full cash refund including 6 months road tax, by law they are responsible for any pre-existing faults identified within the first 6 months but you have to give them 3 attempts to fix the problem before you can reject it for ...

Re: Leaked Official Audi RS4 Photos

Honestly does nothing for me, I know audi is usually understated in their styling but if didn't have an RS badge you wouldn't know what it was. Must be the RS-line version...

Wonder if the wheels will bend as easily as the ones on the first RS4? They look flimsy enough for it.

Re: Coil Pack service campaign

Mine is an 05 plate B7 and it had all 8 changed during the service FOC, did feel a lot more lively afterwards. This is the second time I am aware of that VAG has had coil pack issues, wonder when the next one will be?

Re: MPG - My Personal Best!

Could be that the ECU has adapted to your driving style and turned the power down, would be interesting to know how much power the engine is actually giving out. At risk of wrecking your fuel economy you may choose to do the left foot braking trick, steady throttle in a high gear and give a dab of l...

Re: B6 / B7 S4 Prospective Owner

My B7 S4 recently had a service and they changed all 8, never had any problems, same thing happened on my B5 A4, they changed all them as well FOC.

Wonder when they will plan in the 3rd recall, you would have thought they would have learn't something from the 1st recall but apparently not.

Re: Xenon flickering

Sam, You say you have just picked up your S4, if you have just bought the car and from a dealer/trader then it would be covered by them as they are liable for any faults identified in the first 6 months, this is enshrined in law. If you bought privately then there is no protection or help. Reading y...

Re: Drinking oil but no leak

Did it have this level of oil consumption before changing to the Fuch's oil?

You say it is not burning the oil, have you checked the exhaust tips to see if they are oily or have heavy soot contamination?

Only other suggestion would be a compression test on the engine.

Re: The engine is coming out!!!

I spent a long time looking at that photo, very scary but driving it makes you forget, stil £5.2k is going some.

Out of curiosity, what is the service history on your car, was it AVS servicing?
