Re: Brake juddering

Had the same problem on mine, I replaced the disc (needed doing anyway "probably" as I tell myself). What it turned out to be was the new pads i fitted had left some residue on the surface of the disc (in multiple places). Only spotted it when I replaced the pads, on the inside of the pad on both si...

Re: Looking for help - B6 S4 gear change problems

Saw this post and it reminded me of a problem I had with my clutch last year. I had the same intermittent problems, eventually the clutch gave up the ghost and "welded" itself to the flywheel with a total bill of 3k to replace the clutch and flywheel (Audi dealer, NEVER AGAIN!!). Mine was intermitte...

A precaution against dealers "free inspection"

I recently had a "free inspection" done at my local dealership. The guy who looked at my car sounded fairly knowledgeable and a genuinely nice guy...... However....... The report that was given to me when I left highlighted a few issues. One I have spoken about in my tyre trauma post, where i was ad...

Re: Tyre Trauma Help needed

Thanks for the help, based on what ive heard ive bought new tyres for the current alloys (which I now believe to be correct). I'll get an independent alignment done with confirmation of the current vs new setup to ensure its correct over the weekend. Im sure audi will somehow manage to worm their wa...

Re: Tyre Trauma Help needed

Thanks, do you know if there is any way to confirm from the alloy markings which tyre should be fitted to the alloy ? I dont want to order 255's from black circles only to find that they dont fit my alloys! The other thing is that wheelbase where I bought the wheels from are still selling these allo...

Tyre Trauma Help needed

Ive just taken my S4 B6 (2003) into the audi dealership and they have noticed a major problem! I fitted aftermarket alloys to my car about 2 years ago and during the inspection this year the inside inch of every wheel has been shredded down to the core! The rest of the tyre is fine and has about 2.5...

Thanks, I'll have a word with them, in the short term whats my best plan?
My service is not for another 6 months, should I do a full oil change or just keep topping up.
Will it do any harm just topping up ?

Cant be 100% sure that its the correct oil, on the receipt it says they used "SLX3 Castrol longlife oil".
Any ideas ? Plus if audi cant get it right who can you trust ?!
