Re: Drinking oil but no leak
Holy thread resurrection Batman, this is a blast from the past :D - I'm on my 2nd car since i got rid of the S4. I had it checked out, it passed the compression test but there was evidence of soot in the LH bank of cylinders which was pointing towards the scavenge rings being worn or damaged. The de...

Re: CAR SEEMS TO SHAKE/WOBBLE AT MOTORWAY SPEEDS.
I'd get the wheel balance checked - I had a 5g inbalance on a front wheel with 10g on a rear and got a nice vibration at similar speeds

Re: European Headlight Settings?
Have you got MMI? If so look under CAR as that's where I found the Headlight adjustment for driving on the wrong side of the road setting on my B8 S5

Re: Mileage from a full tank?
I got 22mpg through south London today - not terrible compared to recent jaunts. Is it essentially pointless in using v-bastard for an S4? Does it need a map to take advantage of it? My understanding is that the B8 is mapped for 95 RON as it comes from the factory with no benefit from using a highe...

Re: Mileage from a full tank?
I'd expect a lot more from the 3.0 TFSI as I get a range of 295 to 320 with my 4.2V8

Re: Evo Triangle Run (Wales) - Sunday 10th March
I've done this a few times with the 350Z owners (between 40 and 50 of us). We stayed at Moreton Lodge near Wrexham (Shell station less than a mile away) and then went down to Bala for lunch and up to the triangle in the afternoon, stopping at the pub for a photo opportunity. Don't forget that the lo...

Re: Would you use this oil???
I'm more worried about the fact it appears you want to put your pride and joy on a long-life service plan rather than an annual or 9000 mile plan

Re: Tyre choices for the B6
my conti sport3's seem fine, apart from on the Morison's roundabout in Coventry on Friday when the tail stepped out at 20 mph - given i usually go round there a bit quicker i'm guessing a or truck had recently dumped a load of diesel

Re: Variable Power on the B6 S4 Auto / Tiptronic
my B7 (same BBK engine code) with tiptronic seemed to have all the horses there in Drive, just needed to get the pedal fully down to liberate them. In Sport it seemed to have a crisper response with a "tighter" throttle and as the box was holding the gears longer the power seemed easier to access. M...
