    airbox

    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...

    SOB

    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...

    SAMCO

    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...

    S4 tried to kill me

    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.

    S4 front 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

    B5 S4 Remap Issues

    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...
