Hello from Wokingham

Hi all - new forum member, just bought myself a 63 plate S4 avant black edition - I am far too old to get this excited about a car but I absolutely love it!!!! Was gonna go for a VW Golf R, drove one, it had a slipping clutch which put me off (probably unfairly) but was lucky for me because I’ve now got this. Anyway 2 questions I wonder if people could help with. 1) I need a rear bumper protector in black (no chrome in the car so didn't want to start now) but struggling to find one for an S4 Avant. Anyone know where I can get one? Secondly I thought the car had DCC - but appears not. It’s a B8.5. Anyway just wondering about that. Taking it to France in August - can’t wait

Congrats on the purchase buddy. S4 is a real sleeper of a car and surprises a lot of people once tuned.

Personally, I have never used a bumper protector but below is a link I have seen shared on Audi-Sports.net

Re: DCC you mean Dynamic Cruise Control? If so, Audi calls it Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and doesn't come as standard on S4s.

Thanks for the link and info. On the DCC I meant drive select. My allroad has it (newer model) but I thought the B8.5 did as well. Cheers

Not on all B8.5s but ADS can be activated using Carista, OBDEleven or VCDS and it is a 2 mins job. It will be more effective if your car has Sports Diff/Active Dampers. However, you can still get three options that come by activating it; Steering, Throttle and Engine and Individual offcourse. These alone do make a bit of a difference.

Fantastic- thanks for the advice
