Pah, that's nothing a handbrake turn or two added to your daily routine wouldn't fix - sounds like a plus point to me! :thumbs:

Re: RE: Just changed 996 for S4 Cab B7

From what I can see it's value has dropped by at least a £1k per month, so depreciation is fierce... Wow, when you actually put it down in writing like that, it's pretty scary. I'm currently looking at a 15 month old S4 for ~£28k (in fact, I'm meant to be picking it up tomorrow or Monday) which is ...

RE: You all have a good xmas

Yep, Tesco and Sainsburys are both doing 25% off all wine if you buy 6 bottles or more and in 95% of cases it works out much to use them (Tesco especially). The Threshers offer is good if you just want one or two bottles of stuff though.

Nah, it's just a dumb dongle, I've certainly used it on other Leons and it works fine.

Revo SPS1 Dongle for Sale

Hey folks, I'm flogging my old Revo'd Leon Cupra R and swapping it a nice B7 S4 instead, which I currently have no intention of getting chipped. As such, I have my old SPS1 dongle from Revo available for sale. It's as new, boxed with instructions, and has probably been used 6 or 7 times in its life ...

Re: RE: New B7 owner incoming...

I came from a remapped S3 to my S4 and the power delivery took time getting used. At first I question the performance. But there is no doubt itthe S4 is a very quick and capable allrounder. There is no shove in the back. The power is more linear and progressive. . All in all enjoy. This is somethin...

RE: New B7 owner incoming...

One other quick question - is there any advantage in the big V8 blocks to using Optimax/V-Power/general 99RON fuel? My current car loves the stuff and really hates to run on anything else, but that's a highly strung turbo and not really comparable, so I thought I'd ask the people who would know. Che...

New B7 owner incoming...

I'm sure you get sick of these threads but I can't think of a better way to start my posting career here and I wanted to ask a couple of questions anyway, so here it is! I put down a deposit yesterday on a red '05-plate B7 S4 which I'll hopefully be picking up at the weekend. It is intended to repla...
