Re: Apple CarPlay Upgrade

I got the identical kit from Alibaba for under £200. It's a massive improvement! It's not touch screen like OP was hoping for, but it's fairly intuitive with the MMI controls. You can also use the steering wheel controls too. My only gripe is that it occasionally (rarely) loses connection to the pho...

Re: Oil change intervals

Does the B9 still need front final drive oil change at 20,000 miles ? Dealer has told me after speaking at length to Audi ! that front and rear are both 60,000, and they are tamper proof ?? Doesn't sound right to me! Will be interesting to hear the result of this. You'd hope that an oil change wasn...

Re: Sepang 2013 buckets and ceramics

Prices have been all over the place. You are probably looking at around low to mid twenties. There are some very well specced cars which just haven't been selling. One of the guys here ended up selling his through We Buy Any Car, after advertising it for £27k for about 8 months. He got about £23k. T...

Re: B8 S4 Saloon - Sports Diff /Milltek / ADS / B&O / DAB

Milltek now removed, so it's back to stock. Price dropped to £15k.

Mileage still under 80k.

Re: Anyone got a Milltek non-res?

I've got a full Milltek Valvesonic system with downpipes and the oval tips. With valves closed, it's a bit throatier than stock, and absolutely zero drone. We've got an 11 month old, so a family friendly system was an absolute must for me, and this is absolutely perfect. As soon as the valves are op...

Test drive reveals a couple of concerns

Went to view another B8 S4 yesterday. Really nice car, and ticks all the boxes for me. However, there were a couple of problems which meant I had to walk away. First up was the brakes. When at motorway speed, I had planned to brake heavily to see if there was any instability or shake, but before I m...

Re: Air & boost loss - help!

Perhaps. Has anyone else had the engine out for 2 new turbos? If so, what did you fork out for the job? Blue Thunder & Grizz - Do you have experience of this sort of work or are you just doing a mental estimate? I'm not getting pi88ed off, just curious. Paid the bill anyway, so no point in worrying...

Re: Air & boost loss - help!

That is a very big bill! Did they give you a breakdown on the costs? Seems very high. You can get K04's for circa £1700 a pair (Loba), new DMF flywheel (around £800 I think - hence why I just bought a new Fidanza from MRC at half the price) and full RS4 clutch kit for around £250 (I bought one last ...

Re: B5 S4: Oil in BOV !

Taken you nearly 2 years to post... shy or what? ;) You will get a little oil in the intake from the breather, it's probably nothing to worry about. Boost will taper off towards the redline as the K03 turbos can't keep up the pressure (they are only small after all). This is perfectly normal behavio...
