    Fitted my new Liquid S4 gauge at weekend

    Bought a Liquid S4 gauge from Race Diagnostics last week and fitted it last weekend. Doddle to fit really. Few of the functions don't work on the older S4s unfortunately but all the important ones do, plus I can scan for trouble codes and do resets with it. Did a quick blast too to get some...

    New shoes

    Slapped my new wheels and tyres on at the weekend. Team Dynamics Pro Race with Goodyear Eagle F1s 235/40/18. Much lighter wheel than my winter RS4 reps and no need for a spacer anymore. Plenty of clearance on the calipers with these. Before: After:

    Wheel dilemmas. Opinions please.

    Hi All, I'm thinking of getting some new summer wheels for the old battle bus, but I'm struggling for ideas. Problem no 1 is the huge RS6+ front brakes. I need something that will clear the calipers but I don't really want to use spacers unless I can really avoid it. At present I have RS4 reps...

    Warning for anyone who has fitted Meyle front arms

    This may have been covered before, but I've been off this forum for a while, so apologies if I missed it but thought it needed mentioning. My last B5 was a 1.8TQS which I bought around 2 and a half years ago. I spent a lot of money on it and one of the things I did was fit a complete front arm...

    Interior light LED upgrades help

    Hi, I remember a guy on here who sold LED interior light upgrade kits for the B5. I bought one for my old TQS and it vastly improved the lighting. But I can't remember his name. Anyone know if he's still around as I'd like to upgrade the S4. I've tried ebay but no one does a full kit as such...

    I'm back!

    Well after a year on the darkside (Audi TT), I've decided to return to the B5 fold. Bought myself a nice 99 PFL S4 yesterday with quite a few tasty additions. I'll post some pics up when I've had chance to give it a proper clean. The TT was a good car just not practical and with "pretend 4wd"...

    Leaving the world of A4s. May have some bits for sale soon if anyone interested.

    Yes, I've decided to part with my A4 1.8TQS after 18 months. I'm changing to a TT as it seems more easy to tune. I've amassed a few bits and bobs that I will be selling soon, so just thought I'd post this up in case anyone interested. I've got: an ECS flywheel to convert the 1.8T to the...

    weird tapping noise? Help!

    Noticed the other day with my window down while the car was static quite a loud tapping coming from under the bonnet. It sounds to be coming from where the injectors are and it is worse when the engine is warm. It's a metallic tap about once every quarter second. Any ideas??? Noisy injector...

    How much are these wheels and tyres worth?

    I am thinking of getting some new winter wheels this year so putting my old ones up for sale. They are the ones in the pic (17") but I fully refurbed them last year and sprayed them gunmetal grey. The tyres on them all have 3-4mm of tread left and are all Goodyear if I remember right. Anyone...

    Is there much noise difference in the resonated/unresonated Milltek?

    Hi, I've been using The Milltek unresonated system on my car now for about a year with a decat pipe. It sounds nice but on motorways it is really droney and its beginning to get tiresome. Has anyone any experience of the resonated system? Is it much quieter? and is it worth investing in one...

    Front brake conversion photos

    Thought I'd post up these shots of the B6 S4 brakes I've just had fitted to the B5 1.8 TQS Fill up the 18" LM reps quite well Had to add 15mm spacers though to get the wheels to fit on due to the offset. Have made the car's stance a bit more aggressive. Before spacers: After...

    wheel spacers

    Following on from my recent fitment of B6 S4 barkes, I have now found that my wheels (BBS LM reps) do not fit. I have had to buy 15mm wheel spacers and longer bolts to clear the calipers. This raises 2 questions: 1) Should I also space out the rears by the smae amount to equal things up? 2)...

    Hi After quite a few months scouring ebay and the small ads I have managed to gather together all the bits I need for my conversion of the brakes on my B5 1.8T Quattro to upgrade it to B6 S4 spec. All the parts are hopefully being fitted tomorrow. First on my shopping list was a set of B5 S4...

    Is the torque split 50/50 F/R on the A4 1.8 TQS?

    Just wondering. Some 4wd systems, I believe, are either front or rear wheel biased and some are straight 50/50. What is the split on the B5 A4, does anyone know? Just out of interest as I just kicked the **** out on mine accelearting out of a junction. Behaved just like a RWD car normally...

    My mpg and outside temp display has just disappeared completely. Was a little bit pixelated before (not too bad) but now it's just gone altogether. Does anyone know who can fix this? Thanks
