    Talk to me about ..... (building a track car)

    So the S4 has now gone and been replaced with a 15 plate 530d which does everything I need it to for the road, it's quick enough, economical enough and well specced. But I miss the S4, I have an E36 compact that I'm about to build into a track car, I have a 2.8 six pot, cams, inlet, LSD, etc...

    Cornering Fogs issues

    I enabled the cornering fogs with Carista but they only work with the indicators and not when I turn the steering. I have scanned the car and have this: Central electronics Part #: 8K0907063C Coding: 260050914134AF311601000000001D0D4F9D470800010141000000 (hex) Component: BCM1 1.0 Fault codes...

    (S4) Could all this be related?

    So on the weekend I checked the oil and noticed it was a little low, I also needed to top up the coolant (it was only serviced a few thousand miles ago) and having read about what people can achieve MPG wise mine is a little low as well. (Average is 20mpg but short journeys, 27mpg is top I see...

    eBay strut braces

    I've seen on eBay you can get upper and lower front strut braces for about £100. Has anyone got any of these fitted? I know I can buy a bit of tube and drill some holes, but knowing my DIY skills they are unlikely to actually fit!!

    Exhaust bits

    When my car was last serviced and MOTed they told me the centre silencer was starting to rattle. I need to replace it and ideally I'd like to go for something stainless (like a Milltek). Does anyone know if you can buy the bits separately? Everywhere I have looked seem to only sell them as...

    Door Control Modules

    Are they all the same? Front to back differ I guess because of the child lock. Reason for asking is I bought one on eBay from a 2012 model and mine is an 2009 but the child lock switch is in a different place. Just want to know if it'll work before I strip it all down!! Thanks in advance.

    Factory location for rear parking sensors?

    I'm surprised by the spec on my S4, someone paid out for SuperSport seats, B&O, pan roof and SatNav but didn't spec parking sensors or heated seats. I can cope without the heated seats (for now!!) but I've just bought some rear sensor (Dolphin) that are flush mounted and wondered if anyone has...

    Supercharger lag??

    I'm not sure I want to ask this question but here goes... Car is a 2009 S4. At about 60mph if I put my foot down it will kick down a couple of gears and there is a momentary pause, almost like turbo lag, and then it'll take off like a scolded cat. I thought superchargers were instant power...

    No rear wash

    I've noticed that my car does not squirt fluid out of the rear washer. Is this a common fault? Where should I look first? Is it like the old mk4 Golfs and it's on the wiper mechanism itself? I've not noticed any damp patches anywhere!!

    How long is your list of jobs?

    Along similar lines to "What did you do to your Audi", make me feel better and give me a list of jobs you still need to do to yours. Here is what I need to do to my 2009 S4: Fit LED front fog bulbs Rear wiper washer not squirting Replace rear door module as does not unlock Lube the pan-roof...

    Would aftermarket tints affect radio reception?

    When I bought the S4 it had aftermarket tints which are quite dark, I've also noticed that radio reception is quite bad (it'll only pick up a couple of stations and sometimes they are greyed out) but I'm not that bothered as I don't listen to the radio that much. Is the bad reception likely to...

    Modified airbox (S4)

    So looking at the MRC website I see that stage two includes all sorts of things, including a modified airbox. Anyone know how the airbox is modified and if it's worth doing to an standard S4 (looking at a panel filter for more induction noise / SC whine)

    Car is booked for a major service with an Indy week after next (Tuesday 29). Garage have quoted oil filter, air filter, sump plug, pollen filter, plus engine flush. In addition I have asked for Supercharger belt and Aux belt to be done. The spark plugs were done last year so I have said not...

    Best way to "Black Pack"

    I'm sure loads of people have ditched the chrome and I'd like to do the same if it's relatively easy. I have seen some black roof rails on ebay but I'm wondering if it's easier/cheaper just to get them wrapped. Do the window surrounds come off easily if I can find replacements or again is it...

    S4 cornering fogs

    My previous car had adaptive xenons (2014 Octavia vRS) and I quite liked it "shining around corners" on country lanes but my S4 does not so I thought I would try to turn on the cornering fogs. I have managed to get them to come on with the indicators but not when you just turn the wheel. I...

    S4 real world MPG

    Firstly I have to say I hate these kind of posts! I have had my S4 for around three months now and absolutely love it. I went into S4 ownership with my eyes open and it is averaging around 19mpg for my short commute to work which is roughly where it should be (I think) however on a longer...

    Back door won't open

    Sorry, I know it's been asked a hundred times before (at least!) but the car has started to refuse to unlock the rear passenger door off the fob. It'll unlock from inside and it always locks from the central locking. Is this the door control module? It's a 2009 S4 Avant. Don't want to buy a...
