    S4 Qtr Mile Times and Max Speed

    Tested my S4 on the runway at RAF Brize Norton Sunday as I had a few runs left and it was raining so I couldn't run my Caterham. S4's performance was frankly dissapointing. Its got a QST 310bhp chip plus a Miltek and it managed 14.2 over the quarter which is OK I suppose except the engine...

    Navigation on the new S4

    I have Audi sat nav on my A4 Cab. 3 distinct design problems: You cannot set destination by Postcode (That'll be Zip Code where you are...) There is no "avoid" function - a button you can press which will re-route you for an optional distance say 1,5, or 10 miles. One of sat nav's unexploited...

    Anyone else experienced problems when moving selector into reverse where the selector mechanism, although engaging correctly at the gear lever, fails to engage reverse gear and lots of nasty mechanical noises eminate from the transmission. Its an intermittent problem, but I am trying to find...

    getting and installing sat nav

    I bought the wife a 3.0 Sport Cab fully loaded including Sat Nav + At the price it is simply useless. The maps are about as good as an old version of autoroute and are nothing as good as the OS quality stuff a friends S Type R has. I cannot set the road I live in as "home" as the street does...

    should i get the dv?

    My S4 is sick. For the last 6 months it has failed to generate anything like the correct level of boost, and the only thing I have witnessed to convince me any fault has been corrected is that the stock DV's were open (diaphrams ruptured). SO I think the Bosch items are not up to the task...

    S4 losing boost

    Another visit to Kim and the airflow meter has been changed again in conjuction with a reset of the ECU and all now seems well again. The fact that the car actually has a low boost limp mode (as opposed to a default sensor value) is a good indictaion of what has happened, although I was not...

    S4 losing boost

    I have a late year 2000 S4 Avant. Shortly after buying it I took it to Kim Collins for a 300bhp chip and a Miltek cat back exhaust. The upgrade made an immediate improvement, and the car went fairly well. Recently it has started to be very sluggish with minimal boost in the gears. I took it...
