Relatively easy if long winded. The front grill will unclip - there are 4 clips IIRC on the top edge of the grill which you can get to with a flat blade inserted at the top of the grill. You can tell where they are by gently pulling the grill until it releases - BE GENTLE! Once the grill is...

Had mine a couple of months and its been a pain! Suspension as above but after 90k miles its all seized together so ended up replacing the entire leg on both sides as well as track rods. Electrics are ok but common faults seem to be with the flapper motors which control the air distribution...

Hi are you able to test/activate the air con fan on a B6 S4 as I'm trying to diagnose the air con system and this is the next thing to check. I have an unregistered version of vcds lite but it will not allow me to perform output tests. Thanks, chris Gunness 07809 700408

Yes - before the Rear Drivers side was at 0.25' toe with the nearside at 0.09'. Now I have 0.12' both sides. Camber (rear) is -1.36' and -1.31'. Thrust angle is -0.01' so pretty good. Front toe is now 0.2' whereas it had been 0.34' so it wasn't that far out. Only trouble they had was with...

Well just had a 4 wheel alignment done and TBH it wasn't that far out anyway. Rear wheel camber was quite a way out and the tracking was a bit out. Does seem to drive much better now but that's probably psychological!

It was only front tracking and was one of the manual Kwik-fit type alignments. I watched the guy do it and the rear alignment was correct and he set the toe out to 2mm I believe. Apparantley it was supposed to be +2mm +- 0.5

I did get the tracking done and the car is set correctly - before it was done the tracking was so far out that the traction control light kept coming on!

Hi All, I have previously posted that I have replaced all 4 upper control arms and in the process ended up replacing the alloy uprights and track rod ends. What is concerning me now is that the steering doesn't feel 'right' after the changes. Could just be me worried that I have done...

I've started another thread for the aircon specifically but thought I would reply here also. I think that the shaft is turning - assuming I was looking at the right bit. It was a shaft on the near side bottom front of the engine. I still think that there is another problem though as surely...

Still trying to diagnose my air con problem but one question I do have. When the aircon is on in a 2003 S4 should the radiator fan come on at low speed? In other cars I have had as soon as the aircon is turned on the fan should also come on.

Well I have finally managed to get the car back on the road - replaced the track rods and track rod ends and put anti-seize on everything. Hopefully if/when it needs to come apart again it will be easier. The 'new' uprights had wheel bearings already fitted but I think mine are better so will...

I recently bought a 2003 S4 and initially it was great fun, just a couple of faults. The airbag light would come on after 9 minutes and the air con wasn't working. fixed the airbag light - a new module was needed as the old one would not code to the replacement instrument cluster. Gassed up...

Hi, I have a 2004 S4 which I am having a few issues with. Latest is the radiator and air con fan not working. I assumed that if I put the climate control to low that the air con fan would come on but it doesn't... I have had the system gassed a d cleared a couple of fault codes but the air...

Hi, I had an issue with the SRS module in my Audi S4 B6 after the instrument cluster was replaced - Audi have suggested I replace the SRS module which was very expensive. I have managed to get hold of the latest 'J' revision SRS module second hand from a car where the airbags had not deployed...

This is where I started today! The car was in audi today to try and code the srs module to the cluster to get rid of the srs light but thy could not get it to work!
