The car has had a two ceramic coatings applied by a detailer in the summer of last year. I then just pre-wash with a citrus juice, shampoo with Chemical Guys wash and wax shampoo followed by a Autoglym Aqua wax.wow, nice showroom finish. What products do you use if I may ask?

Finally got round to fitting my old Blackvue dashcam from my previous Golf with a neat install and feeding the wiring down to the fusebox- need to move the camera mount down a little so that it films from the swept area of the windscreen though
I bet your a happy man
Very happy mate, pleased I pushed the budget and got exactly what I wanted, first time I've ever had a factory order.I bet your a happy man
Gave it a wash in the lovely afternoon sun. My jetwasher pulses (for some reason) when it delivers snowfoam and my neighbour came round and said it was making their lights flicker! After I’d got over the absurdity of what she said, I explained that our houses (detached) have separate electricity supplies, that the jetwasher uses only low current anyway and that if it was affecting any supply it would be likely to trip my consumer unit first. Afterwards I thought how many lights did she have on at 3 pm on a sunny afternoon?
If you don’t like me using my jetwasher, just say so, luv. Don’t come round my house with batsh*t stories! I want to wash my wife’s A3 tomorrow, so I wonder what will happen when I apply the snowfoam?
If she approaches you again... use the jetwash
Unplugged the Soundaktor on the firewall. Now a more natural exhaust sound. I like it.
Its here, mine only has the mounting lugs...
You have a picture of this because I didn't know it was a thing and would like to try it and see what happens.
I was going on this post where you stated it to be located on the firewall. The firewall is the bulkhead between the engine bay and the cabin.Unplugged the Soundaktor on the firewall. Now a more natural exhaust sound. I like it.
Apparently one can reduce the sound to 0% via OBD11. But I am still technically in the 19th c.
I'll do a photo tomorrow. Not the same as 'cuke2u" photo, as the V6 is different. It is the circular 'thing' to the left, with the locating nut on the top, behind the radiator overflow clear plastic bottle(???). Caution, it can be hot!!!! I just unplugged it & zip tied the wires....
Not sure, I will investigate further but not the thermostat...yep, same as mine - pump, sensor or thermostat?. Nothing to do with the soundaktor.

I certainly would advise not to disconnect this. This looks like a solenoid and may be there to allow additional cooling flow to other components under certain circumstances.yep, same as mine - pump, sensor or thermostat?. Nothing to do with the soundaktor.
It does look all rather tight behind the coolant tank. In the photos I sent that circular device isn't obvious, I guess it is a speaker of some form, so I would have though that disconnecting the wires to the actual Soundaktor on the bulkhead would do the same as you have done.
On the S4, I found it actually easier to disconnect where I did, using a small flat blade screwdriver. Also, it is much easier to zip-tie the wire so it does not hang loose, possibly lie against something hot and potentially short-circuit.
To me, the vehicle (inside) is noticeably quieter, even under acceleration, but now that noise is real.Have you noticed much difference?
Thinking of having a go at unplugging the exhaust valves on the S4 today but concerned about the fault brought up when Audi check. I know I could always plug them back in but wondering if it's more hassle than it's worth. Hmmm.
