    Fixing the rear number plate

    Great, thanks. Reason I can't use my Audi dealer plate holder is because the holes are really large, the small hole in the plate is supposed to keep it fixed into place - if you see what I mean. I think I will have to stick it to the bodywork then. I'll take a look at the holes on the...

    Fixing the rear number plate

    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

    S4 performance issues

    Where are you? For £45 + VAT get it to MRC tuning. They will do a healthcheck and pressure test the turbo system. Well worth the money I think. They know what they're doing and get everything done so quickly.

    Changed a rear diff seal today - Pics.

    That's what I thought. Thanks.

    Changed a rear diff seal today - Pics.

    Hi, thanks for that. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the diff on the car, what have you changed? The seal between the diff and the main drive shaft from the gearbox? Are there boots sealing the diff and the two drive shafts to the wheels? Just trying to figure out what I may need to change...

    Changed a rear diff seal today - Pics.

    Hi, Do you still have these photos? Is this a difficult/expensive job as I've noticed my S4 has quite a lot of oil around the rear diff. Also, how do you change the oil in the gearbox? Never done it on an S4. Thanks, Dan

    Rear bumper and the black lower trim for A4/S4

    Oh dear, that's what I feared. It did look like it was one piece. :(

    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...

    LCD dead pixels, anyone used these guys?

    Their website says this: Surely we can find out where the screen comes from, RS components sell several LCD screens, one of them must fit... Here for example: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=retrieveTfg&binCount=193&Ne=4294957561&N=4294767569+4294955787...

    Erratic revs when starting up

    Hi again, I went up to MRC and had the health check done. Turns out the MAF was gone, which had overheated one of the EGT's. There were also a couple of small boost leaks and a T-piece had broken on the vacuum system. They did the health check and fixed it all in under two hours (the time it...

    S4 Tyres

    But the 91Y, rather than the 94Y I guess, don't need the extra load.

    S4 Tyres

    Ok, that makes sense, yeah. Might get these then http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m4b772s16p0 I will see if the garage who have my car can get anywhere near this price

    S4 Tyres

    Ok, thanks. I used to have Goodyear Eagle F1's on my old Celica and then again on my Vauxhall VX220, they seemed very good, but I was comparing them to worn out Bridgestone Potenzas. I didn't do, and still don't, very many miles so didn't get to find out how quickly they wear out. The other...

    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...

    Erratic revs when starting up

    Changed the coolant temperature sender, seems to have made no difference and it's still spluttering and revving when starting. Anyway, I'm going up to York from Southampton next week so I've booked the S4 into MRC for a full healthcheck. Hopefully it's not going to cost me too much, what with...

    Erratic revs when starting up

    Thank you. I will look at doing that then. Just got my new coolant temperature sender so will fit that tomorrow. I did unplug my MAF metre and coolant temperature sender one by one to run the car to see if it made much of a difference. Without either it ran awful and stalled, however, since...

    Erratic revs when starting up

    Thanks. I have new 710N's, they're probably a year old tops, and the after run pump mod was fitted by the previous owner. I have looked up the F-hose delete but it's hard to understand without the engine in front of me. Will look up the N249 delete, not seen that.

    Erratic revs when starting up

    Ok, thanks mate. I've had a look in the S4 self study programme and I think I know where it is from an illustration, I'll have a look at lunch time and get one ordered up. I'm thinking it's done a few miles now so it's probably worth changing this, TBB and hoses, maybe MAF metre and whatever...
