    Sold 12mm & 10mm H&R hubcentric spacers & bolts, (5x112, 66mm CB) Suitable for B8/B8.5 A4, A5, S5, RS5

    Forgotten I had these as i sold my B8 S4 over a year ago! Just found them in the garage (ironically as I was digging out tools to fit spacers to my Tiguan and my Abarth Competizione!). Started out life as 15mm all around but I found I got slight rubbing. Was going to sell them and buy new but...

    Goodbye S4, hello new toy

    For the second time in my life, today I left the S4 ownership club. Gave it in as part ex against my brand new VW Tiguan R-Line Tech 2.0 petrol 230ps. Obviously this hasn't got the power the S4 had but already worked out being a turbo you have to drive it differently to the the supercharged S4...

    Would you expect S-Tronic oil on as S4 to be black after 11k miles?

    Hi all, Had the car serviced yesterday and decided to have the gearbox oil changed as well as having the siphon/strainer within the box changed. Audi say the box should be sealed for life but the Audi specialist I use have changed lots of these, after all if it is designed to catch cr@p. At...

    2 Black Audi S4 Avant's stolen last night, Epsom area

    Both from the Epsom area, both didn't have keyless entry and the keys weren't taken. So they either broke in and went through the OBD port (I guess?) or they just lifted them. One had the reg '*******' and the other was a 2010 with reg plate '********'. The second one is a guy I work with, went...

    How easy to change spark plugs, 2010 S4?

    Cars going in for a service a week today and although plugs aren't due (were done at 32k in June 2015, now at 50k 3.5yrs later) last week I had a random misfire on 2 banks, cleared straight away when I restarted the car and cleared the code via Carista. Doubt plugs are the issue (especially on...

    Mis-fire, judder, EPC light and multiple codes

    So just driving back home and the car threw a wobbly. Stopped, switched off and restarted and EPC light seemed to stay on. Stopped again, switch off for a few minutes and this time all ok. Did a scan and got this lot: Going to give it another run and see if it is ok.

    Hi all, If you find that on your pano roof only the vent roof open/close functions are working, or your blind doesn't do the one touch open our close then they need calibrating. Not sure if everyone's aware how to do these, but found these videos very useful: Pano roof Sun Blind (sorry...

    Am I mad? Toying with the idea of moving on from the S4 to a Merc?

    So originally I was looking at maybe going to an RS4 but they seem to have a lot of problems, plus are seriously holding their value. Need to have the space for 2 kids and 2 German Shepherds but still want to keep some decent power under my right foot so it needs to be a powerful estate. I got...

    This one: Mine now looks like this: Pretty sure they're particular to the S4. hit a massive pothole (at speed when trying out my stage 1 map) and it dis lodged my front lower grill and then I drove over it and smashed it to pieces! Such is life! If I can i'd like to get one second hand...

    Error codes are like buses, 2 come along at once!

    So having solved the 03041 Energy Management Active issue with a new battery i've now got another error. To be fair this came up when I first got the car 18 months ago but just started working again, now it is constant. Going to check later if it is just after unlocking the car from the key or...

    Anyone local to Epsom with VCDS or OBDeleven that can tell my S4 about it's new battery?

    Hi all, Having put my new battery in the MMI is still saying it has 10% and giving me the 03041 Engine Management Active error. I've cleared that but of course comes back. About to do a round trip of 60 miles and on other threads people have hinted a good drive will help the car learn, but...

    Is it time for a new battery? What type and program it to the car?

    Hi all, For the last year or so i've noticed that the leaving home lights don't work all the time, coupled with having low % battery charge. When I cleared the error code the other day using Carista then they were back again. However didn't last long, so the error code was back straight away...

    Are Audi looking to see if music files are legal or not on an SD card?

    Hi all, Put a load of new tunes on a 32gb SD card and put that in one of the SD card slots but not all tracks play. I've got hundreds of CD's, poss over 1000 and over the years where I have tidied up in iTunes I have deleted multiple versions of the same song. Now I've decided to add back in...

    Anybody know what this piece of plastic (trim?) is for?

    So I had my front bumper off today to spray behind the RS4 grill as there were a few stone chips and when I was putting it back together this was sitting in the tray under the front bumper. It's nothing that I would have disturbed. Also most looks like a cover for a filter or something?
