Stolen

[sebgreen]

Hey all,

Not posted much on here.

My 2011 S4 Avant was stolen from Whitefield (north Manchester) on 15/12/16.

Police think the key was cloned via OBD port.

If anyone hears about it please get in touch.

Silver
Black leather
DSG
Approx. 47,500 miles

Sorry to hear this. Likely stolen to order, or quite possibly to do a job. Any distinctive features about your car? Unusual options? Any mods? Only thing that stands out from that pic is the front wing debadge. Post the plate / partial plate / last six numbers of the vin

Plate on car was private - S3 BGN
Only real mod was the iPod cable was extended and came out under the centre arm rest - white cable.

Side badges had been removed.

Had a plastic boot liner for the dog.

Also, a loose electrical connection on the instrument panel so sometimes the light would flicker (was going in to get fixed)

So all of the unique features were easy to spot from the outside then...

There was nothing really unique about hahaha. It's an s4. In good condition.

I suppose the gap between the grill and the bonnet was a little large - just hadn't got around to re-aligning it after rad replacement.

Car was found on the 2nd Feb in Liverpool. Been used for a getaway car which they tried to torch after.

That'll T-cut out.
Written off, I assume?

Scum.

Gutted.

Epic fail attempt to torch it - looks like they sloshed petrol over it with the passenger window open (quite likely smashed during initial theft to clone the key?) and it failed to catch light

Surprised to see it on original plates? You'd think they'd whip the boot badge off with a screwdriver and fit plates from a boggo silver A4 Avant

On stolen plates from another s4.

Yes passenger window was the one they smashed to get in.
