Not often you get to post an update years later but it would seem my old S4 which I spent so long caring for so that it would last forever is no more. That's the only conclusion I can think of.
Nice to see you back @V6_Man! Still missing my S4 but the Ibiza that replaced it has done less than 300 miles since I bought it in February. :) If I'd know what was coming I'd have done without a car!
Welcome! S4 is a great all rounder! DSG service was due at 38k miles so is overdue. Just bear that in mind as Audi don't generally honour warranty claims on the box if the servicing is late.
Exhaust wasn't valved until the B9 AFAIK. Enjoy the car, they are great fun with lots of potential should...
@Dippy @rum4mo having been out and looked under the bonnet there are very obvious fixings for both our Golf and Ibiza. The Golf had a fixing post just as @rum4mo described. Hopefully this is helpful for other village idiots like me and apologies for the thread hijack!

Can I ask another stupid question? I see that the +ve attaches to the battery or similar and the -ve to a "suitable ground point" on the body work. How do you identify a suitable point? Thinking about this for my wife's Mk7 Golf.
Just watch for the road tax on the manuals. It's usually a lot more than the S-tronic for reasons that were never clear to me. In 2014 when I was looking the manual was nearly twice as much!
Sports diff is a bit of a pain to find on second hand cars as dealers tend to either not list it or claim it has it when it doesn't! My old S4 is still up on Autotrader (I part ex'd it) and definitely has sports diff as I had it from new and specced it! :) But it isn't listed on the advert.
Just to chip in my 2014 S4 was sitting for up to 3 weeks at a time between use. Most of the time this was fine but occasionally I'd notice certain things had been shut down, for example the coming home lights would not activate on unlock and the radio would be off when I'd left it on. I did some...
End of ownership
The S4 has gone. I owned it for 5 years 7 months and approx 31,400 miles from new. It was bought new from Reading Audi having made initial enquiries via Carwow then directly emailing local dealers. I'd already owned a 2.0T and wanted something a little different. I think the...
No mention of sports diff or indeed drive select, flat bottom steering wheel and black styling pack. But they did spot HHA and parking system plus. :)...
