    ESP Light...

    This time I ran WOT through 2nd and 3rd 1790 and 1820 mbars With MAF 228.3 This sounds better then. Is it? Some chaps on rs246 reckon it might be tyres so will go there next.

    ESP Light...

    Okay here I am again. In my 2000 S4 Avant. Having got wheel bearing sorted and run VAG COM I can not see why my ESP light comes on under hard acceleration. Usually in third around 5000rpm but it can happen in 2nd lower down. I have used VAG COM to record wheel speeds and other ABS/ESP...

    Traction control light at 5000 rpm?

    Went out for a blast today and car is fine when I turn off the ESP! Also came up behind an F355 coming out of Yeovil towards Dorchester. As the road goes from one to 2 lanes then up a long hill I stayed with him until redlining in 4th... ( not going to say how fast that is!) He only gained...

    Traction control light at 5000 rpm?

    A work mate has just got hold of VAG COM so will try that. Will I need to actually use it at speed or will this show up stationary. Thanks for all the help

    Traction control light at 5000 rpm?

    Thanks for that bit of info. But how do I tell which one? Is this a case for VAG COM? Or a main dealer???? Or can I use a mark one eye ball to determine the fault? Also why only in third gear? When I change up all is okay again.

    Traction control light at 5000 rpm?

    I have my traction control light come on at a steady speed at 5000rpm in third gear! It then holds my revs and won't let me go any faster. Help! What should I do. Is this putting my brakes on at speed?

    Fuel Pump

    Hi, Stupid question but... I have only had my S4 a month and I can hear the fuel pump quite clearly when the car is ticking over, both inside and out. I don't remember it doing this but I can't be sure. Is this normal? Cheers

    S4 Help! :)

    Hi, I bought my 2000 plate avant 1 month ago. I love it. Subtle, fast, great handling. I have had no problems yet and have put just under 3000 miles on it. Parts as you say not that expensive, especially as you can get them cheap. I get 30 mpg on a run, that's 80-90 on the m-ways. But about...

    S4 Oil usage

    Hi, I am new to this site, so hello to all. I have just bought a 2000 plate S4 avant and was wondering how much oil you would expect the engine to use between services. It has had it's oil done (and service) every 10,000 but there is no record in the service history for top ups. Have had it a...
