Re: Full service history vs Audi extended warranty
We cured a chain rattle with a switch to 5/30 oil and a fixed mileage service regime - it has now gone from a slight rattle at 40k miles to virtually no rattle and just trickled over 100k miles. The gearbox had a recent oil and filter change and all was pronounced good and I change the oil and oil f...

Re: Looking to join the S4 Club
First of all check you can afford one; by this I mean insurance and fuel costs. The servicing costs probably won't pinch your wallet too much than what you have but going from a small-ish Turbo-Diesel to a large-ish petrol engine will hurt firstly on insurance and secondly at the pump. Few, if any, ...

Re: Top 5 B6/B7 mods
No problem. It's a very recent post (19th Sept 2013) so I guess that's why I missed it.ASC wrote:No worries..
I actually glanced over the Audizine thread last week and didn't think anything of it until I saw your post here for the 3rd time and then it clicked! Sorry bit slow this week!!

Re: Top 5 B6/B7 mods
After countless searches this is the only thread that mentions the wiring for a B6/B7 tiptronic - I'll have a look the next time I have an hour with the car.

Re: S4 Purchase
We have an '04 S4 Cab and when we first got it, it had the chain rattle but it was on the original long-life servicing and skinny 0/30w? oil. I changed the oil (and servicing intervals) to 5/30 and the rattle is completely gone if the car is used every day and only lasts 1 second or so if the car is...

Re: Top 5 B6/B7 mods
We have an '04 S4 Tiptronic cab in sprint blue and having had it for about 5 years and seeing it's value drop we're decided we're going to keep it until it dies. The one thing that frustrates me about it is the back-to-front gearlever direction. It's currently forwards to change up, and backwards to...

Re: Happy / anti-catastrophic thread
We have a 2004 S4 cab that we bought on 44k miles-ish with a little start-up rattle. We discovered it also sips a little coolant with the culprit being the aux radiator, and a very occasional sip of oil I changed from the longlife service 0/40 oil to a 5/40 oil and instantly cured the cam-chain ratt...

We've had our S4 for coming up to a year now and it likes a sip of coolant - I'm putting in about 1/2 cup a fortnight (300-400 miles) and one mechanic I spoke to said it's to do with expansion rates of joints in the auxiliary rad - the first time it alarmed, I got alarmed, but now I just check it an...

RE: 17" wheels on S4?
Did this get answered - I have an 04 S4 cab with the 18" avus alloys and I'm thinking of getting a set of A4 (B5) 17" avus alloys with a 112 PCD and 45mm offset for fitting with winter tyres - my chief concern is whether they fit over the brakes?
