    S4 crankshaft oil seal has just failed big time!

    Hi guys, went out in the car yesterday and was greeted shortly after setting off by the battery warning light on the dash. Popped the bonnet and found a lot of oil everywhere. The seal has failed and covered the engine bay and alternator. The alternator is now knackered and also requires...

    How many B6 S4s?

    Was yours the 54 plate I looked at a couple of years ago at a garage in Lymington? Had a private plate at the time I think.

    Front end creaking...

    I have a similar problem with mine especially when the weather is damp/wet. I get a creaking/cracking noise when turning at low speed, it seems to be coming from the passenger side. Audi have had it in for a look but could find nothing obvious, they lubricated all bushes with 'maintenance spray'...

    S4 discs and pads.

    Quite like the standard brakes myself. Recently did my pads all round, fitted Pagids as I believe these were the OEM. Front pads were around £80 from Euro car parts.

    Front bumper trim

    Hi does anyone know the part numbers and cost for the small black trim that sit under the front bumper?. These are the parts that are held on with 4 rivets each, Audi want £30 each side which I feel is a bit excessive for a bit of plastic!. Any alternative suggestions for a supplier would be...

    LED sidelights flash on start up

    Hi guys I recently replaced my side light bulbs with LED's. The LED's are the can bus variants so do not trigger a fault on the DIS. On starting the car and turning the lights on I noticed that they flash a few times, is this the DIS checking for lamps out?. Also where is the best place to get...

    Cab radio signal...

    Mine was doing the same, opening and shutting the boot made it worse!. The cable from the signal amplifier runs in the loom on the left hand side of the boot - this is usually where the cable work hardens and breaks. Managed to fix mine by buying a replacent cable from my local audio shop and...

    Strange.cracking/crunching noise when turning when weather is wet

    Thanks for the replies. As far as the noise goes it makes it on all surfaces as long as the weather is damp/wet. I think Audi said that they could not replicate the noise when the car is on the ramps so it would appear that the wheel needs to be loaded. I have experienced the noise with two...

    Strange.cracking/crunching noise when turning when weather is wet

    CV gator looks fine to me and it has been into Audi several times and they have not found anything, it just seems weird that it only happens when the weather is wet. If it was the CV joint would you not expect it to do the same no matter what the weather?.

    What's Missing??? S4

    Had a similar issue with mine a while back, dropped it into Audi and suggested that it sounded like the pads were moving in the calipers. There is a fix that involves modified springs being fitted to the caliper. All appears OK now.
