I've owned this car since May 2007 and in this time it has been completely reliable, comfortable, practical, fun and fast. Specification • 1999 V-plate. Full facelift model • 2.7 V6 Bi-turbo (265bhp, 295ft.lbs, 0-60 in 5.6 secs) • 71,000 miles • 3 owners • Nogaro Blue pearlescent paint • Black silk ...

Sorted - thanks for the tip!

I've just noticed that the DIS has stopped working during normal use. The usual 'OK' message is displayed along the top of the display when starting the car (as well as fuel level icon when low), but nothing else. The car has the original Concert stereo (which is working fine) and does not have SatN...

to fit a B5 S4.
Would prefer the full kit with all cables etc...

Does anyone have one for sale?

My apologies if this has been asked before - the search tool wasn't bringing up anything appropriate! I have some general questions re the exhausts: 1) am I right in thinking that the exhaust setup is as follows: turbos > downpipes (with precats) > cats > back box 2) is there any advantage of gutted...

How many miles are on the pads and discs?
Would you be prepared to split the set-up?

Where are you based?

I'm in Surrey, and my B5 S4 Avant in Nogaro Blue will be up for sale shortly. Unmodified, 48,000 miles. Looking for around 8.5k

PM me if you're interested and I will send you more details and take some pictures this wekeend.

I've been reading various 'what wheel' threads, and have come to the decision that I'm going to go for B7 RS4 reps. I've seen that the MRC Nogaro saloon has anthracite RS4 rims - I assume these are OEM. So... any ideas where I can get anthracite reps, or will I have to get them painted? Thanks in ad...

Is that not just the Audi paint code (ie, LZ5M)?

I guess what I need to provide is the paint equivalent of a Pantone ref or CMYK values.

I'll take a look though, just to be sure

I'm having my bike frame repsrayed Noggy blue (LZ5M) and the sprayers need a RAL or British Standard paint reference in order to get as close a match as possible.

Any ideas?

having actually picked up the S4 yesterday, it seems that the factory unit feeds data into the dash display. Is is possible to keep this data feed with an aftermarket unit, or would I be better off just trying to find an OEM unit with CD player? I'm actually not too bothered about a changer in the b...

My new S4 has the poverty-spec head unit and no CD changer.
I'm looking to get an aftermarket unit and changer. Apparently you can get adaptor plates to allow the fitting of a standard-sized head unit. Any ideas where I could get one from?

that's interesting. Would you not need another remap afer doing the exhaust & downpipes?





pssst, what's a snub mount?

I'm picking up my S4 in a few days. It won't be very long before I'll be paying MRC a visit for a health check etc... I'm planning to modify the car, and was wondering what my priorities should be. I was thinking along the lines of: 1) Health check. 2) Short shift. 3) Air intake 4) Exhaust (incl dec...

Definitely - I'm compiling a checklist this week.
Glad to be able to dismiss the wheel issue.
