Fronts failed at 58k on my S4, seems common at this mileage when running 19" wheels.

I have DS2500 on my focus ST, I have gone through 2 sets of Pagid front discs over the last 40k miles and pads are now only half worn! Also they are not R90 complaint, the Redstuff are R90 complaint however...

I have redstuff all around on our S4, no noise, better braking and the dust easily cleans off.

My manual S4 has a slight vibration at idle felt through the seats, perfectly normal on these. Made no difference when I had my flywheel and clutch replaced.

I have front and rear Red stuff pads and pagid discs sitting in my garage waiting for the weather to improve so I can fit them... worked out to about £340 including the rear fitting kit from ECP. Is anyone using a battery charger while replacing the rear pads?

Sorry to hear about this Jakes. Mine had this happen in exactly the same place, with a thick black line passing from the back bumper through the wheel to ending near the front door!:mad new:. Luckily I managed to remove the black mark with Autoglym tar remover, the denting was minimal and...

I have in enabled through my MMI only, however the different settings don't seem to make any difference? Also you will get a soft (no warning light on dash) fault code due to the switch not being present.

Looks good mate, I think the red background versions look at a glance to close to Sline badges for my liking.

Mines a 1st September 2010 car, going to do some tests tomorrow to see if it's the master cylinder or clutch. However my gut is saying clutch, the plates are tiny on these only 240mm!

I currently have a quote from MRC for both the Stage 2+ package, new clutch and flywheel(lightweight), going to get it booked in for the new year and will report back afterwards.

Interestingly I never have to top the Focus up inbetween services while using the Fuch oil, while using Edge I topped up about 1 litre in total.. My S4 also was using about 1 litre of Edge per 3k miles, this has reduced with the Miller oil.

Hi All, My S4 had its clutch master cylinder replaced due to needing the clutch pedal pushed down hard to start the engine, this sorted the issue but it has just returned! Any advise? Is it possible the clutch itself is worn?

Castrol Edge is ok there are better oils out there, but remember these engine run high oil temps (117C on the motorway!). I was starting to get cold start timing chain rattle on mine at 40K, I swapped to Millers 5w-40 Nanodrive CTS last service and the rattle has gone! Interesting I normally...

Wouldn't it of been better to start with a S4 or 3.0tdi? A lot of work for something with more bark than bite..

It's the standard setup.
