Got a soft top?

It's the bit that stops your toilet from overfilling.

Looks like a dog toy to me!!

Are any of those wires actually going into it/is it connected to anything, or could it just be something completely random that's found its way in there?!

i was on ebay.de and there are a few of them for sale but they dont translate to anything on google translate, however they are all listed under rs4 none under s4 :S

I'm sure it's something to do with the suspension as the Allroad's have them in the boot from what I remember. I think it's called an accumulator.

It is an accumulator but thought it was for soft top.

Ahh in that case it does nothing then lol, didn't think the stock s4 exhaust had flaps... Learn something new everyday, but as I have a milltek it does nothing lol
