    S4 B9 19” Rims

    Would these 19” TTS alloys 19 x 9J ET52 (fitted currently with 225/35/19 tyres) fit a B9 S4? I currently have standard rotor alloys 19 x 8.5J ET40 (tyres are 255/35/19) Not sure what the wheel codes mean. would get them refurbished for winter tyres.

    Recaro - rear access release lever

    This lever is the worst part of the S3! Fotunately the good bits well outweigh this 'oversight' in the design.

    What do I do now?

    ... and the 110 Landy will soon cease production (I think) due to some recent European laws. What about a 2nd hand X5, Toureg or decent Merc estate??? RS2's are great but are getting old now. I suppose it depends on what budget you have set.

    Sad day approaching!

    If you are going to do cross channel trips on the ferry or chunnel with a dicovery you will get charged more than a normal car due to its length and height. Might be worth considering.

    Agree. My friends A4 1.9tdi 2003 model has the window feature as standard.

    xenon leveling

    Out of curiosity I read the manual and it says clearly that the lights are dynamic and realign whilst driving to account for acceleration/breaking as well as heavy loads. Not quite the same as the dealer mechanic who was adimant that Audi did not yet have the technology for dynamic levelling -...

    bought my new s4, need advice

    Don't hide the remap from your insurers it is not worth it. For the sake of a few quid (usually based upon % bhp increase) you will not have your life destroyed if you have a bad accident. There are lot's of chip friendly insurers who should be able to sort you out with a decent quote.

    xenon leveling

    Just had to have my offside light realigned by Audi, not sure how it got 'out of line', one day it just started pointing high and blinding oncoming cars. I wasn't too happy being charged £28 for the work! (I didn't read the bit in the S3 brochure that said, "You will always walk away from...

    Caught on camera??

    I thought Gatso's only worked from behind. The radar bit measures your speed and is the primary source of evidence. The photo traces the car and the white lines serve as a secondary speed check. I don't think they work 'head on'. Have a look at www.pepipoo.com and www.speedcamerasuk.com...

    Remote Windows

    To be honest the auto windows can be a pain in the ar*e, especially if the keyfob is in your pocket and you don't realise that they have accidently wound down as the button depresses itself. I always find that i have to double check whether or not the car is locked and the windows are still up...

    Beep Beep Beep!

    Sorry don't know what the beeps are, but I would suggest you try another dealer and drive there to show them, if you go during a quiet time they should be able to get a mechanic to have a quick look for you on the forecourt. Since it is not likely to be under warranty anymore you may be better...

    Gatso'd

    Bad luck! I have had a Bel Euro 550 for 18 months and it has more than paid for itself by alerting gastso's etc. Go for it asap. There are lots of options and the satellite versions are also excellent. All depends how much you want to spend. The Bel has never missed a gatso or laser trap...

    You've just gotta love the S3

    I live in fear of closing the boot lid with the key accidently inside and hearing that beeb - which would mean that i was in the ****! Not the best Audi feature IMO.

    You've just gotta love the S3

    The S3 is such a great car to admire from inside and outside. The petrol station viewpoints are spot on! Looking at the new shape A3 at the moment i do not have that same feeling, maybe that could be influenced by the speculative RS3...... I'm sure I tolerate the odd niggle and dealer...

    Passenger window found down !!

    DMitch is right. I have had several occasions where the doors have unlocked, both front windows wound down and then the doors lock again. The trouble with this feature of the VAG keyfob/Audi is the fob buttons (particularily the open door button!) can be pressed down when in your pockets...
