fantastic. can't believe they made it so inaccessible, the berks

hello all - just stuck a new Pipercross filter in my S4 - and I might be imagining it but it does seem to have sharpened up a bit..but that's not why I'm posting. I CANNOT reengage the back left corner clip to the airbox lid. All the other three are absolutely fine. I just can't get my hand...

Cheers. Am considering one of those 'we can get ANY OE part and paint it for £60' type bods on the net. Just out of interest - you have a 'B5 RS4 V8 sedan'? Did you do a widebody conversion on an S4 and stick a bigger lump in it? Sounds interesting. And you're in suffolk too - I'm Newmarket...

Just completed A/C overhaul, 10k service, some Samcos & a control arm on my 2000 S4 - running very sweetly - and today I was forced to go up the verge on a country lane to pass a Google camera car - dropped straight into a MASSIVE bombhole and the centre sections of my bumper now have three...

Hi All Have bought a new throttle body boot & F hose as preventative maintenance (and part of the continual, gradual bit-by-bit upgrading) on my 2000 S4. They came without clips. Can I simply pop off the OE items and use whatever clips they were fitted with, or do I need to source specific...

Further to my last post - my S4 broke my head open when I innocently fell over a sleeping bag in a French ferry terminal car park. The rear light clusters are very fragile, I wouldn't recommend anybody diving onto one head first. Lobotomy scar looking very good. If I find out how to post pics...

Turns out I had a pebble ledged in there - was ear splitting but 100% back to normal now. Thanks guys. Head also much better. But a bit freaky looking.

DAMMIT my internet connection is poo. Just typed this once and lost it. Just back from Le Mans Classic. Tripped onto boot of car whilst running across car park and ripped forehead off on rear light cluster. Stuck thumb clean through other cluster. Result: 2 new clusters. Nice. Now look like...

Cheers for that. They called today to say that the air leak fault codes aren't coming up any more but a fuel trim one is. The seem to have been pretty methodical about it and the MAF readings they're getting are well outside the normal parameters. So they're replacing the MAF tomorrow, and think...

Recently noticed boost trim/limp home mode had kicked in - specialist read fault code for 'air leak' and replaced a small hose free of charge & reset car - fine for a few days. Happened again and two air leak codes came up - morning at garage and two hoses replaced. Twenty minutes of driving...

If that's the case I will have to give them a call I think...have been putting it off if I'm honest. Too busy.

Nope - but it sounds like I need to pursue this a bit more. Just wish I'd gone local...

Angel Tuning standard remap. 2wd dyno only so no verification. Nice guy, and at the time it did give a bigger thump in the backside, but EGT sensor failed so ECU trimmed boost back. Fixed sensor and running well now, but hard to discern a big difference. Does seem torquier in high rev range...

I must say I've read a lot of positive feedback on Red Stuffs, think I'll just suck it and see. On my head be it! Discs are OE. Always difficult when you get different views in a forum. I don't push the car to its limit and don't do trackdays and I've never had any complaints with the OE brakes...

Guys - hope you can advise me. I've been using the same specialist for some time now and wanted to do a quick check on a price just for my own peace of mind. New front discs & pads for B5 S4 £369 + VAT. £20 extra for Red Stuff. So, a) is main price OK and b) is upgrade worth it? Cheers

Yep - my specialist sorted the EGT out and the car was immediately miles and miles better. No other fault codes. I'm not 100% it has the kick in the **** it did immediately after the remap, but it definitely pulls longer and stronger and it's soo easy to surge past 100mph. Drove to Devon & back...

Cheers for that, I'll ty and get it sorted this week. Remap was by Redline in Basildon, through Angel Tuning. A mate of mine had his TT done through Angel and recommended it. I should add that the guy that the did the remap did say I should get the EGT sorted as it can affect the engine's...

Had my S4 remapped last week, and as promised the car had a lot more oomph to it - particularly a noticeably bigger 'kick' once the turbos had spooled up. The engine checks showed up the exhaust gas temp sensor needed replacing but I didn't have time to wait for a replacement and he wanted...
