Re: Exhaust tips for 2009 S4

Can't really see what your trying to achieve, stock tips are chromed so how will changing them to another set of chromed tips keep them any cleaner?

Re: New to S4 ownership and have a few questions

Don't give up on the exhaust tip's, I found that they will clean up well with a bit of elbow grease and Autosol.

Re: Air and pollen filter replacement

Air filter, 57k. yes really!! Pollen filter, 19k or two years. So they think the pollen filter is three times more importnant!!!
I changed my own pollen filter on my last A4 b8, bought from a motor factors about £14 for a carbon version, Audi one £29.
