    Diff difference

    I am looking to reduce down monthly costs on my S4 order that is well speced with options. Just wondering with the driving I do which is 90% motorway and dual carriageway, if I will get much benefit from the diff. I survived 2 winters in the M235i on Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, just :)

    S4 service intervals

    Having owned about 10 Audi’s I made the move to the dark side and currently leasing an M235i, spec in signature. I mostly do motorway and dual carriageway driving and was shocked the first service on the BMW held out until 19000 miles, so did the rear Michelin Pilot Super Sports ! I assume the...

    Standard S4 wheels

    I don’t see many on the standard 10 V-spoke wheels but I prefer them to the attempt at Lambo wheels. Is the Audi website correct that the standard wheels come with 245/35 * 19 tyres and the £550 upgrade 5-Vspoke wheels come 245/40 * 19 tyres. Then the more expensive £1200 5-spokeV wheels move...

    BMW M235i on order, test drove an RS3

    Its been niggling in my mind that I hadn't driven an RS3 before ordering the BMW M235i. I have had a string of Audis but know I don't want another S3. The RS3 is very different car with much more look at me body styling and more noise both in and outside the cabin. The engine sounds nice but...

    A/C Service Audi dealer advising to have it done during service

    My S3 is 4 years old and they said it should be done evry 2-3 years to ensure maximum efficiency and avoid failures and reduce excess load on the system. I have always replaced my cars after 2-3 years and never had this done in the past. Anyone else had this done or have any advice if its...

    Haldex issues do you get dashboard lights

    I am about to book in my S3 to get the Haldex checked out, I thought it was my new tyres but I believe there are known issues with pump failure where the car returns to 2WD. I am losing traction quite a bit and seeing the ESP light flash up. If you have a failure of this nature and it goes in...

    Michelin PS3 review, not sure it suits the S3!

    I have now completed 1000 miles with the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres on the front. I had the existing Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric tyres moved to the back during the PS3 fitting, they had 6mm left so a good comparison. Pros:- Softer sidewalls make the ride slightly more comfortable over...

When do you have to worry about the wheel being ****** ? I have marked on the attached picture where they...

    Anyone gone from Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym to Michelin PS3

    Seems to be lots of good reviws on the Michelin but the true test would be the thoughts from someone who has made the move. The PS3 looks far more wet weather orientated that the F1, it has massive grooves in it

    Brake pad advice

    At my last service the brake pads were reported to be 75% worn at about 31,000 miles, good life but expected I guess as I do motorway driving everyday. Was surprised they didn’t stitch me up for new front and back pads but they seem a good dealer. I don’t want to wait for the light to come...
