Hey all, looking for a bit of advice here. had my b9 s5 ( I know it’s not a s4 but this forum was always the busier and the cars are effectively the same other than shell) for 8 months now, ever since I’ve had it I’ve heard a thrumming sound coming from the rear. Took it to Audi and my loca and...

Hey all, looking for a bit of advice here. had my b9 s5 for 8 months now, ever since I’ve had it I’ve heard a thrumming sound coming from the rear. Took it to Audi and my loca and both said it was not the wheel bearing and to let it develop. the sound comes on from around 40mph and had a...

Hey all, am on the verge of returning to the light from the dark side. Previous car was a b8 s4 which I chopped in for a 435d GC, however I’m going to look at a b9 s5 on Monday with a view to buy. Test drove a s4 and liked it but when parks side by side I still preferred the look of the 4dr...

So, the S4 was getting a bit long in the tooth and was needing few things done that were gonna cost me a chunk of change so I bit the bullet and went over to the dark side (on 2 fronts!) New steed is a BMW 435d gran coupe. Won’t deny I’m missing the old girl just now, the final drive down to...

Morning all, hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. I have a 2011 S4. I'm looking to play music from my Iphone through the car system. I was on the audi website and found this...

I'm starting to look at tuning options for my S4, MRC are front runners however they are also 400ish miles away. In a bid to find something closer to home I started looking at my local indy who put an APR map on my previous S3, however said indy (Star Performance) seems to have stopped doing...

Having owned my 2011 (60 plate) S4 Saloon for a smidge over 6 months now, I thought it would be a good opportunity to write up my thoughts on the car, for anyone that’s even remotely interested that is. My car is Ibis White – Black Edition with Carbon Finish Fascia & Door Inlays and has the...

Mornign Fella's, Bit of a random one here. I've noticed over the last few days when driving to work that I get smoke coming out of the exhaust when the car is fully warm. The other day i pulled up at a roundabout and the light from the car behind made the smoke apparent (similar to when a car...

Hey guys, quick one for you if someone can help. My S4 has the Sport Diff. The a couple of weeks ago, when I started the car I recieved a warning on the dash saying that there was an error with the ESP and Sport Diff. Drove home, stopped to drop the wee boy off and when i restarted the car the...

Morning all, only just picked up my S4 last week and yesterday the dash flagged up a warning telling me to change the battery in my key fob. I've been using the key without 'plugging' it into the car i.e. only time the key comes out my pocket is to lock the car. Does 'plugging' the key in charge...

Hey guys, I sold my stage 1 s3 last year an replaced it with a 330d due to the arrival of my wee boy. Simple truth is, it's been my biggest regret to date on the car front. I've been giving serious thought to changing back to a s3 again, but getting a sportback instead. To be honest this is what...

Hey guys Car just returned to me from audi, they tell me that the front discs are close to the end of their life and that I should look to change them sometime soon. I did a quick search but cant find any reccomendations for where to buy the front brakes, can anyone advise. I'm running stage...

Wife is due our baby in a few weeks time. We just took delivery of the car seat, pram etc etc. I figured I'd do a trial to see how easy it was to get the Car seat and pram into my 08 plate 3 door S3. Epic fail. The front seats dont move far enough forward to get the car seat in without some...

Hey guys, quick one. Just looking for insurance companies which are remap friendly that aren't trying to charge astronomical amounts for premiums. Several companies I've tried refuse to quote, 2 have given quotes (elephant £746, Sky £892). I've still a few companies on my list to try, but...

As per title, after much deliberation I eventually decided to get my S3 mapped. I was fortunate to have plenty of options available to me, with Revo, Giac, APR and Shark all within a reasonable distance. My criteria was simple, I wanted OEM feel, with more go. Revo has a rep for being more...

Hey guys, looking for advice on remapping my s3. I was pretty much decided that I was going to go for giac at star performance, but I have taken notice that there is several people on the forum raving about shark which has me intrigued. I've done a bit of reading about them both which has in...

Hey guys, just a quick question for anyone in the central scotland area thats used the dealerships. My car is due a service and MOT. Service is free as part of the service plan I got when I bought the car and the MOT is covered by the Audi waranty so I have to take the car to the dealership...

Evening all, a little help from some of you more experienced guys with the s3. I'm getting the feeling my brakes are coming to the end of their life, bite isn't as good as it was. Can anyone recommend both a place to buy discs an pads, and specific brands? Regards

This is gonna sound like a daft one, but its driving me up the wall. Everytime I get onto a motorway / Dual Carriage way and get the speed up to 70/80 I get this weird (I hate trying to describe sounds lol) low pitched 'Hoooing' sound (similar to feedback on an amp when you put the guitar too...
