Agreed. I had Superchips done on mine, about 20bhp and 20 Torques, no noticeable difference in reality. Shame as it cost me £500!

Hi Guys, sadly need to sell my favourite ever car. Standard spec S4 Avant 4.2 V8. Has been chipped by Superchips, improved fuel economy with slight power increase. 91,000 miles, FASH, 10000 miles or 360 days to next service. Leather/Alcantara seats, carbon fibre dash inserts. Tax til Oct, MOT til Ju...

Hi, check your PMs

Fellas, had the same problem. Turns out it was the starter motor bearings. Had it reconditioned and all's well now. Interestingly, Audi's first action was to change the ignition switch ( and managed to put the steering wheel back on offset-muppets!) Needless to say I didn't pay for that!

Brilliant, thanks.

What were the symptoms? Mine has just started indicating fluctuating temps, from about 70 to the normal 90 deg C. Normally sits bang on 90 regardless of workload. I was sat at motorway speeds when it happened. Seems to have fixed itself but don't like having a suspect T guage.

Alloys on the S4 (03) need either refurbishing or replacing. Like the look of the RS4 alloy, but I understand the offset is wrong. Dealers have recommended the 19" S3 alloy that looks the same, anybody had any experience of this? Cheers Fellas,

Me too! Seems like a common problem. Will give Audi and ring and see what the damage is......

Hi Guys,

New bloke driving an 03 plate S4 Avant, never done the forum thing but if I'm gonna do it, here looks like the place to be! Any help/advice gratefully received,

Cheers,
