    How do you guys fit the rear number plate?! The black plastic screws that go through in the bootlid seem to be in the middle of the black letters on the old plate, but right in the middle of the yellow on the new plate! I would like to keep the Southampton Audi black plastic thing (for some...

    B5 S4 Wheels - Same as S3?

    Hi, Are the B5 S4 wheels the same as the S3 wheels? They look the same but I'm not sure about the size. I have one that needs replacing. Also, what would you consider a reasonable price to have the four wheels reconditioned? Thanks. Dan

    Rear bumper and the black lower trim for A4/S4

    Hi, When fitting my new towbar last night we discovered we had to remove a semi-circle section from the reinforcing beam inside the rear bumper. This we did by drilling around the grinding the rest out. Unfortunately the drill slipped once it had gone through the metal and has drilled...

    S4 Tyres

    I've just had a full 4 wheel alignment done over at Christchurch tyre company in Dorset and it's time to change my front tyres, I think they're Michelin Pilot Sports, the guy at the garage said they're not heavy load and they've worn out, possibly because the previous owner drove with them under...

    Hi, Had a brief conversation with Turbo Dynamics as they're just across the road from me. I have a 98k miles bi-turbo S4. Sounds and pulls great, had no problems with it, but keep reading stories of the turbos blowing up at 80-90k miles on here and RS246. Question is...it's a big job to...

    Will a towbar from a 2000 saloon fit my avant? Towequipe seem to list some specific towbars for the Avant and some that seem to fit either. Anyone know?

    Things you would change on a used S4

    Hi, Picked up my first Audi last night, a 1999 S4 (facelift) in silver with light cream leather. Good spec including sat nav and Bose, plus it's the estate. Have to say it's an awesome car! Great fun, uses a hell of a lot more fuel than my old Vauxhall VX220 though! Looking back through the...

    Newbie Going to look at a 1999 S4 tomorrow

    Hi, I'm looking for a quick estate car. Have found a nice looking S4, 1999 about 90k on the clock. I have read the buyers guide and things, but wondered if there were any other things I should check for tomorrow that you would recommend. One other thing, what average MPG would I expect...
