It must be your phone. I can see it on my phone and laptop.

Audi S4 4.2 V8 Quattro 2004 (B6) manual in Goodwood Green

http://cobrablack.co.uk/ad/01.jpg £7995 140,000 miles I've owned this car for nearly 10 years, in which time I’ve spared no expense in maintaining and improving it to run approximately 400 BHP. It had done 97k mostly motorway miles when I bought it, so I’ve done less than 5k miles per year since th...

I love the way you can just drive off the highway and do a photoshoot in the sand. 8)

Re: 2004 S4 - Oil of choice

Yeah, it's pretty quiet around here. The best place for non-regional advice is Audizine. UK-based advice is a little sparse on this and other sites so you often have to wait for a response. I've always used Fuchs Titan Pro too after advice from Opie Oils. Surprisingly the owner of my local garage to...

Re: Steering Stiffness Issue

They have variable PAS so they're easy to manoeuvre at low speed but stable at high speed. It sounds like this isn't what you're describing though if the steering doesn't get lighter when you slow down. Have you checked for faults with VCDS? If that's the only symptom it sounds like a power steering...

Re: Best Anti Roll Bar Connecting Links

I think I stuck with the OEM ones but I've upgraded other stuff like the snub mount (Apikol) and control arms (034) with aftermarket stuff to positive effect. Personally I wouldn't bother doing the front if they're okay and the FARB isn't coming off anyway.

Re: Best Anti Roll Bar Connecting Links

I just changed my rear one to a B7 RS4 piece a few years ago. I read that it was a bad idea to upgrade the front one because it leads to even more understeer.

I don't think you can on here. You just have to host them elsewhere and drop them into a post.

Re: Hi, New to Audi Ownership Wiper Blade Issue

That's a very early one. It's possible the first batch came out with the non-aero type like A4s but I've never heard of of that in all my years of ownership and forum usage. I wouldn't call the aero type B7-specific either since, as I said, they were used on B6 models. If they in fact didn't have th...

Re: Hi, New to Audi Ownership Wiper Blade Issue

Was it bought privately or through a trader?

Traders know a bit about most cars but some have said things to me before that I've known to be incorrect. What year is yours?

Re: Hi, New to Audi Ownership Wiper Blade Issue

Welcome.

I've never heard such a thing. That could be the case with A4s but I believe all b6/7 S4s have aero blades. Mine's a 2004 B6 and has them.

Re: Should I buy

Oh, you want more?

Misfires might be nothing (coil packs or spark plugs) or it could be catastrophic. Looking at the mileage and state of the car (door blade hanging off, cup holder missing, etc.) it could be a money pit.
