The rain's finally stopped, here's some photos. https://imgur.com/a/S7JP0Hd

I can't find the edit button for the original post so details are here: 120k miles 2010 6 Speed Manual Gearbox Brilliant Red Silk Nappa black leather S Sports seats, heated front and rear. All interior lining is black 19" 7-arm double spoke wheels Bang & Olufsen 10 speaker sound system -...

Hi Sidrick. I wasn't sure what price to put down. A running S4 in similar condition on auto trader would be about £9k. Being a manual it's rarer and took me a year to find one (in Scotland). A rough guide online for an engine is up to £4k. I think £3500 would be fair for someone who can swap...

Hi all. Can anyone recommend a supplier for engines? My S4 B8 needs a new engine (I've put the car up for sale as-is here in case I can't get an engine). I've googled but all the results look like the same companies with similar websites looking for my details instead of listing any stock...

Hi all. I'm looking to sell my red S4 Avant B8 for spares or repair. I had some engine issues and looks like it needs a new engine. The car is in good condition except the engine, and the front wings have a bit of rust. Eurocarparts sell the wings for about £45 each. I would have replaced...

Just picked up my hose from Pirtek. Great service. I'll get it on my car once the rain stops :sweat: Cost about a third of a new hose, luckily the flanged ends and hard piping was good.

Your link is private. If you can, upload the video to Youtube or Imgur (you can post as hidden then share the direct link, remember to upload with sound). I had a rattling noise on my S4 that sounded like it was coming from the engine. I eventually found a corroded and loose exhaust clamp that...

Cheers. That's a good idea. I thought about that but the closest hose place to me is Hydrasun, they're probably not interested :) There's a Pirtek not far from me I'll get in touch with them but I'll be away from home for a couple of weeks. Thanks for the heads up, I've never heard of them...

Thanks for that. I've messaged audio parts direct, I'll see what they say. I'll call my local Audi dealer and see what they say but I don't have much faith in main dealers.

Thanks. I was looking at that page. Unfortunately the diagram is generic. I found my hose on eBay from Lithuania but it's condition didn't look great. Looking at the part numbers 8K2 is for RHD and 8K1 is LHD. The hose on my car has an expansion loop and a flange connection on each end...

Hi all. My power steering hose has burst (corrosion around a fitting). The part number is 8K2422893CS which is for my right hand drive car (2010 S4 UK RHD). I'm struggling to find this exact part as a spare. Would anyone be able to find an alternative or updated part number. The hose is made...

On the clutch? I hope it's not that. The noise is coming from the front, I'm going to have a poke about in the next couple of days when I get a chance.

Doesn't the car need to know a new battery is fitted so it charges at the correct rate and power management is adjusted for the new battery capacity? If the system has adapted to depleting capacity the new battery won't be fully charged. That's my understanding of why coding is needed. If I'm...

Cheers, I'll have a look at that. Did you need to change the tensioner or the alternator? My battery is very low and needs renewed so maybe the alternator load is causing issues. I've been putting off changing the battery as I've no way to code the new one in.

Hi all. My 2010 B8 S4 has started making an intermittent (every few seconds) rattling noise from the engine when idling. It sounds like a bearing or loose shaft noise, the video better shows what I mean. I've recently done quite a bit of work on the car and not many miles since so hoping I've...
