Newbie S4 in Hampshire...
Posted: Tue May 26, 2009 7:21 pm
Hi guys!
New to the Audi (& forum) game, I have recently bought a Dec 2003, 40000 mile Noggy S4 Avant. Tiptronic, virtually as good as new, and completely unmolested. I love it. The lack of turbo is both wonderful and slightly odd - my previous car was a Cupra R but growing family comes first
.
Slightly boringly, I'm trying to sort the central locking so it kicks in after 10mph, and the remote so I can open drivers door with one click and all the other doors with two clicks. Southampton Audi quoted £50+vat, but I'm not sure I want it that badly. I know I could do something clever with vag-com, but that would surely cost me well over £50 to buy all the stuff only to potentially do something like remap the engine to that of a rover metro. Anyone in Hampshire able to help me out? Would be well paid in beer...
Also just wanted to say thankyou as I snooped around these forums whilst deciding which car to buy, and found posts v useful. Here's to good times ahead in S4 ownership!
