Just been notified by Stoke CID that car has been recovered in Birmingham. Apparently the car has been used in some kind of ' nasty' business in Stoke on Trent. Damaged a bit. I'm so pissed off as I have been paid out by the old Insurance company and probably would have preferred to get the car back.

Pete, It's done 28k, about 10k since the last service. I'm at a loss, I'm hoping that it is a one off, I'll keep my eye on it but will ask the stealer next time it's in.

By the way my V6 TT prior to this car never seemed to need topping up.

Oil Usage

Could do with some feedback on oil usage on the B6 S4. Topped it up last Thursday in prep for a run to Hull and back home in the Midlands (about 260 miles), two hours to get there, 2 hours in a traffic jam (left engine running). On the way back home minimum oil level warning icon came on the DIS scr...

Looks like it might just be a typical problem on the S4 then. I'll try not to worry any further.

It would be good to meet up B6S4John, I used to frequent Curborough but haven't been for some years now.

I've been quite religious in checking the tyre pressures so I don't think that could be the reason. Another thought I had was the additional wear might be due to that scrubbing noise you seem to get when you are turning at a slow pace, recal reading a thread that this was as a result of the wheels t...

Tyre Wear

Just had the tread checked on my tyres. There seems to be uneven wear on both of the fronts i.e.

NSF 1.6/4/4

OSF 2/4/4

Has anyone else had a similar experience? Any ideas why this should be?

Insurance

Just got renewal notice from Privilege. £750 36 year old and only 4 years NCB. Thought that this was pretty good but being a bean counter felt I had a duty to cross quote with other companies. I couldn't better it but was intrigued as to what Privilege would quote on their site in order for me to ch...

I've failed you!

In week 2 now of S4 ownership. God I'm loving it but having driven a DSG TT for the last 18 months I'm just about getting used to a manual gearbox again. Anyway needed to fill up tonight so thought I'd try some super unleaded (as the stealership only put in 95 RON). Came off the M6 Toll near where I...
