OK so I'm at the point that the S4 must go soon as poss. New house and job on the horizon so sensible car needed. My question is, do I sell the s4 as is or strip for parts? Could do without the hassle of dismantling and storing bits etc but reckon I could get more selling the parts separately...

Good morning all. Could any of you b6 owners do me a favour next time you go to your car? Can you tell me of your auxiliary radiator fan for the air con runs all the time with the ac on. I'm getting conflicting advice as to whether or not it should always be on. Thanks for your help

Hope someone can help. The auxiliary radiator fan on my S4 is not spinning resulting in my air con not working. I put 12v straight to the fan and it spins up so I know the fan is good. I tried another fan control module that was tested and working and that made no difference either. Fuse in dash...

Good morning all. OK, so after 2 years of no air con in the S4 due to a tiny hole in one pipe, I have finally sourced some replacement pipes and new o rings etc. All fitted and gassed up and for the last week I had super chilled air! I noticed at the weekend that it would now only blow cold...

Morning all. I'm now at the stage where I can't afford to run my current s4 b6 anymore as it's become a daily driver and my commute each day is killing my bank with regards to fuel consumption. I'm looking to change to a b8 2.0tfsi, probably 13 or 63 plate. After doing some research online I've...

Have a potential issue with the pcv / breather system on my S4 that seems to be over pressurising the left bank of the engine. Have fitted a new pcv and cleaned out associated pipework etc which has helped but hasn't solved the issue. Has anyone removed and cleaned the breather unit on the...

So I had noticed a slow leak from the coolant system on my S4 recently. Removed the front bumper etc to check the auxillary radiators as I know they are prone to corrosion and leaking but they both looked OK. Couldn't see anything else obvious so had a local garage do a pressure test. They have...

I'm extremely close to putting my much loved S4 up for sale. Having owned it since 2013 and spending close to 8k on it including the chain service etc, let alone normal servicing and running costs etc, it has become a daily driver on my 40 mile round trip commute daily and I'm just not sure I...

Hi all. I'm having a bit of an issue with the radio reception on my S4 at the moment. A few weeks before Christmas the dreaded grommets under the battery and brake servo became blocked resulting in it filling with water and leaking into the car. Obviously when this occurred I had lots of...

Hi. My s4 decided that it wouldn't demist on Friday whilst driving on the motorway in the rain which wasn't ideal. I removed the glove box today and managed to free up the Green actuator and as a result have got the demister working again. However the red (or orange) actuator at the bottom seems...

Hi. I am currently in the process of trying a method to rectify the worn soft touch buttons and switches that many of us are plagued with. Being a paintsprayer by day I have been able to get a formulation for the interior dash colour and also a suitable harder wearing matt clearcoat that still...

As the title suggests was just wondering who on here is in the Surrey area? Quite often see some nice examples in the area and curious if they are members on here

Well the engine is going back into the S4 as we speak. A couple of days of road testing and all being good will have it back on the road for the weekend. Looking forward to seeing what it's like with its new tensioners and adjusters, clutch, flywheel and an inlet runner that's actually operating...

Hi all. Well just a month away from xmas and the S4 has given up. I took the car to a well recommended indy a couple of weeks back to confirm my fears that my tensioners and guides etc need changing and agreed that I might as well have the clutch and flywheel done at the same time. Due to the...

Hi all. My s4 has an annoying misfire at the moment. Took it to the garage who look after it for a look and am none the wiser. Seems to be from the left bank and when holding revs slightly above idle can feel it coughing and popping from the left exhaust. Plugged it into vag com and no faults...

Well after lots of consideration I've given up with the idea of changing to a B7 RS4 and thinking of keeping with my s4. My question is has anyone had their chain guides and tensioners changed and if so how much did you pay and any recommendations for who to use. Have been getting a few quotes...

My date and clock display decided to come up with all sorts this morning whilst driving. Looked like a code of some sort and also a tiny fan symbol in right hand corner of date and time display. Never seen this before and returned to normal after about 30 seconds so didn't get chance to take a...

Hi. My s4 has a concert cd unit in it connected to a dension ice link plus. The ice link was working fine with my ipod until I was bored one day and fiddled with the settings and now won't let me control it. Basically I need to get the stereo into safe mode to reset the dension box connected to...

Hi all. Really not sure if I've got my sensible hat on at the moment but I'm seriously considering selling my b6 s4 and getting a B7 rs4. Had the S4 for 3 years now and done about 30,000 miles and to be honest apart from 2 rear wheel bearings it been faultless and not cost me too much more than...

Hi all. Been a while since I've visited the forum. Just after a bit of advice and peoples opinions of B7 RS4's. I've currently got a 2003 B6 S4 and although it's a great car I've had it for 3 years now and I'm getting itchy feet regarding a possible change to a rs4. Just after some advice from...
