    Service Cost

    Hi guys, My S4 is 16 months old, has covered 12,800 miles and the computer is telling me that a service is due in 30 days. Just booked it into the local garage, who have quoted £300 (rounded down from £311.12 after I questioned the cost) for a long life service. Is this inline with what other...

    s4 avant real life economy - London Driving?

    As an overall average I'm getting 26mpg in my B8 S4, which includes a fair amount of motorway runs. If you start to push it, the mpg tapers off very quickly! I switched from a 330D Sport which I was getting 38mpg with and finding myself at the pumps alot more often!

    S4 service plan (UK)

    Hi, I've been offered 3 services for £658.82, which can be paid over 20 months. Trying to work out if this is a good deal, or whether I'm best paying as and when. On the Crewe Audi website there are £50 off servicing vouchers that can be printed. So assuming they dont cancel the offer, 3...

    Any new 60 plate cars then?

    They should be(!), but until about 9 months ago they didnt come with an S4 and according to the brochure they are stopping the offer for orders placed after Sep 30th. Cruise control i'm not bothered about, but would not want to go without rear park sensors and bluetooth!

    Fitting a sub in B8 Audi S4 (with standard stereo)

    Hi, In my last car (BMW 330D M Sport) I fitted a JL 12W6V2 sub, powered by a JL 500/1 mono block amp. I bought the car when it was 1 year old and fitted it as I was not desperately impressed with the BMW system and quite like bass heavy(ish) music. I was impressed with the upgrade and enjoyed...

    How quick is your B8 S4 in the real world?

    Hi, Before ordering my S4 (Due Sepember 1st), I had a decent length test drive which I thoroughly enjoyed, but didn't have the chance to test it on the road against any other machinery of the same caliber! A friend drives a BMW E92 M3, which I know will be quite a bit quicker (although the...

    Did you have to format the SD card in any particular way e.g FAT32, or just use it as bought? (Thought I'd ask before I spent ages copying all my music on!) James

    SD cards / Stereo in new S4

    Would have loved to have ordered the B&O speakers, but as I just missed out on getting my order in before Audi's price increase, the car was already more than I budgeted for. In the BMW I fitted a JL Audio 12W6V2 sub with a JL 500w mono block amp. Thinking about installing this in the S4...
