    S4 Running costs

    I had one of these for 4 years, although it was a younger model when I bought it. I had about 40k miles with minimal service costs an tyres and that was it. Then I blew a turbo just as I planned to sell it and really should have trusted the job to a specialist at about £2500 but made some...

    What's that noise?

    Assuming you dont have a bulge in the tyres and all other visible checks have been made you can try this: I know you shouldnt do it really (sorry Mr Health and Safety!), but, assuming your car is a FWD and not a Quattro (for obvious reasons!) - Jack the front up and chock the other wheels, then...

    cambelt service ?

    Have a word with Adams4 on here - I didnt use him in the end (cos my engine had to come out for loads of other reasons!) , but he's been recommended by others and was very reasonable and flexible from what I understand. I would deffo (from own poor experience!) get the all the rest you list...

    Front 60mm lowering springs

    ok - was being lazy - just found them on www.balancemotorsport.co.uk for starters at £230 - nice. So, whats the difference between RS4 springs and Eibach (obviously the Eibachs are going to be new!!) but they look like they are progressive which is probably why they ride like OEM? anything...

    Front 60mm lowering springs

    am i being daft? Has Craig simply replaced springs for Eibachs and got that? That looks ace and if handling is still spot on, then that sounds great - though the RS4 spring option also sounds like an option.. How much (typically) are the Eibach setup? Around £250 all round?

    polished pilars with t cut

    Which product do i buy for this - had a quick look on the cleannyourcar.co.uk website but cant work out what the best one to get is. I want to do same with my pillars but also want to use it to de-swirl (remove holograms etc) from the paintwork. I've had enough of T-Cut and have spent years of...

    I'm not going to post this twice, and sorry for posting it in full on the other site, but the image upload was easier - I need the time today to get to the bodyshop and fill in forms.... My weekend outing: Take it easy out there people!

    Is it just me or......

    I was noticing a drop in traffic on here too - AND coincidentally, my eyes have been wandering toward the B6... Since fixing my car (again quote - "they are always going wrong!") I am in the dilemma of do i sell it now and change up or do i enjoy a fixed S4? I have to say my confidence has been...

    S4 Exhaust Manifolds - wanted....

    Done the test drive - all works, minimal rattle under load (by which I mean trying to pull away in too high a gear at low revs for example) - there's still something there, but its not anything like it was, and this morning I remembered that I hadnt put the jubilee clips back onto the lower end...

    Downpipe De-catting - what's involved?

    I am now thinking of de-catting my S4 downpipes to get the best from a 3" Cat-back milltek install to along with my upgraded (facelift) manifolds.. I have a spare set of downpipes that I can practise on - whats involved? Having chatted with Matt82 yesterday, we came to the conclusion that: a)...

    Dead Pixel Repair is it this simple?

    fwiw I took mine to bits and tried the ebay type repair, wedging some fine strips behind the ribbon cable - it made it better, but mine also suffered from fading in heat, so in the end bit the bullet and got it replaced by Clusterrepairsuk.co.uk - for about £100 all in as i recall. fully...
