    S4 Engine management light on

    Hi All, My Engine management cam on this morning as I was driving to work. So in the work carpark I plugged her into VCDS-Lite and came with the below report. The car has had a remap but has been fine since I bought it 3 months ago, the oil levels are all good also. Any ideas, I hate...

    S4 Running costs

    Hi Emery, I have had mine for the past 2 months and I must say, I'm glad I had a bit of money back. I average about 22 MPG and I hear that is good, Insurance isn't the best either but that is to be expected. I bought mine for about 5k, I had a good look around and it looked pretty solid full...

    VCDS - Boost help please.

    Right silicone kit ordered. I can't afford a Samco, so I have ordered an Autobahn 88 kit £140. Doing a bit of searching on the forum and I have read a few good reviews. So if this does help what is next N75 change? I have just changes my diverter valves, perhaps a new MAF?

    VCDS - Boost help please.

    Hi All, As some may have read I got my car back yesterday after the alternator was fitted and I am feeling that it it is down on power. Went for a quick spin with VCDS hooked up and went full throttle in third from 50 to 80. Results below, like i thought it is not hitting the correct boost...

    Expert help please!

    I will never know, I can't see how the CV joint going would cause the alternator to go as they are on apposite sides of the car, but it is very cramped down there so who knows. The whole CV joint and boot needed replacing so that was £220, plus £65 worth of fuel and yesterday means this week I...

    Expert help please!

    Purely for search engine purposes so hopefully some body else won't need to ask the same question. Had my alternator on my S4 changed and installed by a VW Audi specialist for £516. £180 for the alternator, 3.5 hours labour, a new battery and health check.

    Why the A4 B5?

    Expert help please!

    I thought the alternator was on the drivers side towards the middle of the S4, the CV joint which broke was on the passenger side? I'm not 100% but i think that is where it is. I hope to god it is just a loose wire but I have a horrid feeling that it isn't.

    Boost leek eh. That's sound like something I could do myself, what do you suggest a set of new hoses? Any tips for a DIY boost leak checker?!
