Well Kev, you've hit the nail on the head. Its all prams and kids who want to eat and drink stuff in the car so as you say the touran is the vehicle of choice. That said I have insured it and its going for its MOT tomorrow. At that stage I can tax it and I'm quite excited about it. I imagine...

Hi All, I've not been on here for a while, a new addition to the family, baby number two, and an out of work wife meant I had to park my Beloved S4 up and sorn it. Now things are getting better, wife found a job so with two incomes again its time to get the girl out again. Thing is we needed a...

Parts = Cam belt kit, complete with all idlers and damper, poly vee belt, water pump, thermostat, gaskets, Filters (fuel, oil, air and pollen), Fluids (oil, coolants and brake fluid), 6 spark plugs I think thats everything. I'll check the receipt and edit if I missed anything. But what...

I would have thought they'd suggest you do it at the same time. I asked around and came up with a list of parts thats best to change whilst having the cam belt done, that tied in to what they suggested. So I went for it. They did all the fluids, filters all the bits I already covered. Basicly a...

Guys, for anyone in the northwest, I've just had a cam belt and major service on my S4 at C4RS in Leyland. One of the guys who owns it spent 4 years at Audi so I had confidence in giving them ago. Can't fault it, all OEM parts, right oil, everything as I wanted and expected. £370 for parts and...

Hi Blue, I'll put my name on that list. I was talking with Aragorn about us driving to see this chap on a saturday morning and getting our two done while we wait. We are both struggling to be without the cars for whats likely to be a week. I've had to register on SRS but will post on that site...

Dave, you have a PM

Hi Guys, I think I've sussed the strange rumble coming from the back of the car when turning tightly. I think its the rear control arms. I've got some ordered from Jason at All German Parts, they should arrive tomorrow. My reason for this post is to find out if its a straight forward swap...

Guys, I swapped the tyres on the old girl today. Whilst it was jacked up with the wheels off I was having a good look round. I noticed the rear roll bar bushes. The two bushes where it attaches to the car. They look to be split but they could be a two piece bush. Can anyone offer any insight...

Thanks Kev. I'm looking into getting a replacement item. I can't find any articles online regarding servicing the unit. While I'm looking at this will any other audi wheel and air bag fit the B5 or is it age and type specific? Thanks

He's one to test you clever bods. My steering wheel squeaks and its driving me mad. I have tried taking the wheel off and greasing various parts but it hasn't made any difference. I have been told, by various people, the steering wheel sensor could be the cause of this. In a few weeks I'm...

Thanks for the replies guys, Any chance of more pictures, interested to see what the Becker unit looks like.

I'm fancing an Alpine CD headunit (for the sake of interest the 9887R) in my 2000 S4 but I don't want something that doesn't look right. I know that sounds crap and you'll all tell me if you want something that looks factory leave the factory unit where it is but I'm sure some of you fellow B5...

Well I've just parted with my hard earned for a set of the Kumho KU31's. I have to see if these tyres are as good as I'm being told because they fit in nicely with one of my character flaws, I'm tight!! I'll get them, do some running in and report back on my thoughts. Thanks for all the...

I think I've made the decision to buy the new Eagles. I can get a set for £360 delivered, which is £100 more than the Kumhos. My Dad convinced me in one sentence. You didn't buy an S4 to take a cheap option! My question now is regarding the load rating. The tyres I have are 91Y. The chap I...

I think I agree with the comments about the Eagle tyre. In the dry its good, and on a damp road its also acceptable. The big but its when its raining heavily. They don't seem able to move water. Kev, I love that, Ditchfinders! haha. I'm glad you mentioned the Kumho because I'd have never...

Hi, I'd love to try the parada spec 2 but they don't produce it in 225 45 17 so thats the end of that. The S306 is alot cheaper but looks it too. I've never thought of the Falken's. I did once run some Avons that worked well. I see your in Aberdeen, I'm coming up to Union Square in two...

Guys, I'm going to be in need of some new boots for my S4 in a month or so and wanted to see what brands get recommended. The cars running Goodyear F1's at the moment but I'm not massively impressed with them, mainly because of the high wear rate and the car never really feeling glued to the...

Sorry Fraser, I've PM'd you now. Thanks.

Hi Fraser, I think I'd like to take these from you. I'm only just up the road in Preston. I've got an S4 Avant and was thinking the rear sits slightly lower than the front, is this the norm? if not I was going to try a newer spring to see if that levels it out. I'll PM you later thanks. Andy
