I will need to replace the disc and pads in my S4 soon. I was wondering whether anyone has fitted anything other than the standard brake discs, and could recommend them. I don't necessarily have a problem with the brakes, I just like the look of drilled and grooved disc (I know I will get more dust!...

Anyone ever put RS4 B7 brake callipers on a B6 S4? I assume that the discs are a larger diameter so they will be needed as well. Will they fit with the standard 18" wheels and are they fitted on the same hub mounting bolt positions?

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Must admit, Xyber rarely gives out bad advice! Been helped out on more than one occasion by his past experience. Exactly why these forums and the people who frequent then are invaluable.

Hope you all have a happy New Year and lots of trouble free driving.

I had exactly the same problems as you described above. I also had the starter motor changed and have had trouble free motoring since (over one year now).

I had a previous thread on the subject a while back but its good to remind new members.

Welcome to the forum and hope you find it useful.

Bluenose7467,

Where did you get the coils from at that price?

That's a cracking price!

Clamp on mine was at the front of the battery (towards the long side closest the radiator) between the side of the battery and the firewall. Very tight in this area, so difficult to see it, let alone loosen it.

As xyber stated above, but with the addition of skinned knuckles..! You will also need a long thin extension with a torqx bit to undo the battery clamp. A bit tight but not impossible. Just don't drop the screw.

Goodluck!

Fronts definitely for me! It's a heavy car with the engine out front. I'm on my second set of fronts and original set of rears in just over a year. All were about 5-6mm when I bought the car.

The car definitely feels smoother and quieter to drive. I think the call of a replacement exhaust beckons me to release some of that glorious V8 rumble.

Thanks xyber, Got the idler roller, the tensioner, the belt and the snub mount all done at the same time. Noticed a small leak in one of the axillary rads from a stone impact, but certainly not a bad leak and not worth doing right at the moment. Front of the car did have to come off. The belt only r...

I suspect my serpentine belt has snapped. Going hard out of a roundabout, I got a slight rumble and then the battery light came on. I've had a look in the engine bay but can see a thing. There was a small strand of what could be debris from the belt on the top of the engine, but that was about it. O...

also sent PM but no response.

Cheers

PM sent.
