Another post spoilt by the ever-aggressive Arthur. If you don't have anything constructive to say and your aim is just to undermine people's posts then just dont post. it is neither interesting nor beneficial to read your conspiracy-theory posts. You single-handedly make this site annoying whilst of...

It seems that no-one can have a 'normal' discussion on any engine-related topic without arthur jumping in with both feet and turning it into something that is not interesting or informative, just annoying. I only have the lowly S4 but keep looking and toying with getting an RS so read all these entr...

I had the service on my S4 last year and when i went to collect it they had charged me about 36 quid for 2 new wiper blades. I pointed out that there was nothing up with the old ones and I had not authorised the work and offered them the option of putting my old ones back on. Two minutes later - new...

I find that normal Autoglym resin polish removes all the marks on the mirrors, screen surrounds and the piece that lies under the roof at the back, but i have the dot-type water marks on the trim down the doors and rear quarters and have found nothing that shifts these. It just seems to be coloured ...

RE: Re: Interior swap

The full leather S4 cabriolet trim doesn't have the S4 logo on it - at least mine doesn't! But mine is the red nappa so maybe different to normal but i don't think so.

RE: Parking Sensors

My S4 cab is a B6 and has the rear sensors and also the button on the dash to turn them off which you mention.
Maybe someone has fitted a bumper with them on but you dont have the electronics.
Have you tried a vagcom scan it will tell you if they are fitted and/or working.

Just under the brake pedal arm. It sits to the left of the arm up under the dashboard. You have to take off the right hand end panel of the dash (which justs clips on) then ubdo the bolt under there and the three others under the drivers side of the dash. The panel just clips out then. The switch tw...

RE: Selling it!

They've got a 56k miler at Manchester Audi for just under 28grand on a 56 plate- i was having a little look at it the other day. It is most certainly not mint!! I would say yours would be that much or more, so sounds like a bit of a piss take in my limited experience. BUT if I was buying I would wan...

An NIP (notice of intended prosecution) must be served on you at the time i.e. verbally or sent to you within 14 days. The cop should have said something like "consideration will be given to the question of prosecuting you for the offence of exceeding the speed limit" there may be a bit more, i cant...

RE: For sale - B7 RS4 front & rear anti-roll bars

Pippyrips, is it the front or rears that people recommend updating on the B6 S4 to improve the handling? Also, as i am aware that you are a source of all knowledge, are the parts same for the cab as saloon and avant as i have a B6 S4 cabriolet and it seems such a well priced upgrade (even with new p...

2 RS6 Avants in 2 minutes !!!

Cycling home today I was passed in the opposite direction on the bypass at Aston-u-Lyne in sunny Manchester by a grey 08 plate RS6 avant. About 200 yards later I was overtaken by a black RS6 avant on the plate M* 50. Don't get many people from the NW posting spottings but I regularly see an 09 plate...
