    I may be mis-remembering but I am sure there was a known issue with the lower arm rear bushes causing issues described.

    B8.5 S4 Avant - Water leak in boot

    It’s not something daft like the washer fluid line split is it? Would account for variable amounts

    Press clutch to start issue

    This is the exact same solution as myself and Rum4mo have done, the guy started out by having the problem himself and then finding and selling the solution on Audizine. If the price had been reasonable I would have just bought it from him, but $140 vs £3 for the hardware and some time I went...

    Strange way of brakes bedding in

    Ferodo are fine pads to use, I always rated Pagid as decent as well. Currently I am running EBC Yellowstuff on the S4 front and rears, I can't actually remember what I have on the GTR!

    Press clutch to start issue

    isn't the clutch fluid on the same circuit as the brakes?

    Help Please DRL

    This is correct, I think I might have a couple of spare controllers for pre-facelift cars.

    B9 S4/5 brakes on my B8.5

    It might be that for your rears you just need the S4/RS4 carriers and existing calipers to fit the bigger rear disks. The B9 S4 front upgrade does three things, 1. Allows you to fit bigger discs, 2. Weighs less than the standard calipers* 3. Looks cool. * this is true for the B8 S4 calipers vs...

    B9 S4/5 brakes on my B8.5

    I have B9 S4 calipers on my B8 - when I was researching that upgrade at no point did I find ay suggestion that the carriers were a direct fit.

    B9 S4/5 brakes on my B8.5

    The B8 S4 rear brakes are the same as the RS4 and a direct fit, I've not seen anyone fit B9 rears.

    Press clutch to start issue

    I've got some low temp "Alumiweld" rod to put in mine to basically do exactly what you are talking about for the same reasons, I did think about dropping a ball bearing or two in there as an alternative.

    Press clutch to start issue

    It only seems to be an issue with aftermarket clutches - mine is a sachs 15% uprated one. Don't forget that the clutch shares fluid with the braking system so if that has been changed (it should have been at some point in the cars lifespan) then the clutch fluid by default will have been done...

    Press clutch to start issue

    There is a widely reported issue on audizine with aftermarket clutches on the b8 platform where the auto adjust mechanism doesn't work as well as a standard clutch leading to the push to start issue. I have the same issue at the moment when you really have to push the pedal into the floor to...
