I've not seen any messages or alerts. Still in warranty, only 7700 miles. I'll try to get it booked in, although not easy at present due to other things.

Windscreen is original, no chips as far as I'm aware.

Hi My S4 right hand headlamp seems to have developed a dark band above the dipped beam when on main beam auto and wider vertical dark bands: Has anyone else had similar problems?

Some years ago we had bad snow for a few weeks, those down the hill couldn't get out for two weeks. I drove out in my S3 with summer tyres and waved as neighbours were digging cars out. Last year in the beast from the East I travelled a couple of hundred miles with snow at both ends with no...

Thanks for the comparison S3/S4 hellodave. Ideally I want the convenience of a smaller car with the comfort of the larger one, hence interest in an S3 with supersports seats and magnetic ride. I'll see if I can try one when I'm back in action in a couple of weeks.

cuke2u, I agree with everything you have said. Having had a couple of cars shortly after they were introduced in the past (Mercedes and Jaguar) I would rather wait a while before having a new model. Ideally I would wait for the new S3, but that could be a couple of years before it is available...

Basically I would just like a smaller S4, but as comfortable, I consider my S4 ride is firm, but Ok. I want to retain virtually all of the features including a spare wheel, which eliminates most other options. My cars are purchased outright so monthly payments are not a consideration, although...

I’m thinking of downsizing as I don’t use the S4 that much since stopping work and most of the journeys I now do are reasonably local involving Devon lanes rather than long distances, so tend to use our Focus. The S4 has only done 7K in 16 months. Every time I use it I change my mind as it’s so...

I updated my old TomTom for my son to use, relatively painless using TomTom Home 2. I can't imagine any recent Audi will be affected, but there are a lot of things we did/didn't expect not happening/happening lately!

I try to stay away from my local dealer based on past experience! Cars going back six - seven times for the same minor fault before they found the cause, damaged wheels, leaving the drain plug lose after changing the oil, etc. I realise they can't always get it right, but the dealer we use for...

My previous two Audis DAB were fine. The BMW issues just seem to be poor signal reception. I have had poor reception a few times - locations where previous Audis and other cars are fine - but the main issue is just stopping the selected radio station, which is OK when reselected.

Did a reset last weekend. Used car today for first time this week and radio stopped today at 10.00! Changed station and back worked again, or perhaps Audi limit the amount of Radio 2 I'm allowed to listen to!

The radio cut out again yesterday on a shortish journey. I've never lost the stations on the MMI, it just cuts out and returns when a station is selected. I've never done a hard reset, might be worth a try.

It cut out yesterday at 10.00, changed channel and back, no more cutting out in the 450 miles I did.

MCarda - good idea, but I was getting the local traffic alerts without any issues, so don't think that is the cause. The radio on the S3 I had ten years ago used to cut out, I think they changed to head unit at least once to resolve the issue, plus ignition switch from memory, it went back...
