    Anyone got a how to for the b9 s4/5 oil filter housing gasket ?

    Got a small oil leak in the valley of the s4. Think it’s coming from the bottom of the plastic oil filter housing . Probably could do with a new gasket or new housing (in case it’s cracked). Does anyone have a how to for replacing it ? Can’t seem to find a YouTube or anything that indicates...

    B9 S4 adaptive suspension renew or scrap altogether

    So I think one of my rear adaptive dampers is dead - rear drivers side! Feels undamped on bigger hits and sharp edged hits. Low speed and smaller stuff is however fine. The rear tyres aren’t showing any abnormal wear. but given the cost of Audi adaptive dampers I was wondering about replacing...

    S4 avant owners - help please !

    Hi everyone, Having gone from stock s4 avant suspension to Vogtland springs which are a bit low for me, I’ve invested (kidding myself). In a set of MSS adjustable ride height springs. They’re here and I’m keen to fit them but what was the original stock height ??? Would one of you with a stock...

    B9 s4 avant uprated suspension help

    So ever since I had the S4 I’ve been disappointed and dissatisfied with the suspension set up (I have adaptive). Too soft, too much body roll even in dynamic. so 6 months ago I swapped for Vogtland springs - because they offered uprated spring rates and a marginal 15mm drop. Now….. lowering...

    Water into avant rear passenger fuse compartment

    Anyone else has problems with water ingress into the compartment to the left of the boot where all the fuses and relays are housed. Checked all grommets, sealed all light unit holes etc - water seems to be tracking between panels on rear valence behind bumper but I can’t be sure ! Has anyone...

    S4 checking brake run-out

    So having had some brake dramas recently I’ve had brakes on and off the car several times and potentially I’ve not reseated one of the disks 100% square and on braking I’m getting a bit of a pulsating sensation through pedal and a bit through steering! I’m hoping it’s a disk not seated perfectly...

    S4 oil separation module

    Does anyone have any experience with the S4 oil separator module? Changing the air filter on the weekend I spotted a little oil in the semi rigid tube going to the filter. It’s not much but it’s got me wondering if the oil separator is functioning properly. Before I whip it off I’m guessing...

    Performance non oiled filter

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a non oiled performance filter. Been running a BMC filter for a while but the washing and jeopardy of reoiling is getting to me. Anyone found a non oiled solution or should I just bung back in an original audi job? Cheers Ben

    Lowering cars with matrix lights

    Hypothetical question that some of you might have experience of- if I lower the s4 using mss springs and adjust to give a lower ride height or slightly nose down stance - do the matrix led lights and camera that controls them need recalibrating or are the clever enough to sort themselves out ?

    So with the first cold weather of the year I’ve realised that my wing mirrors aren’t demising / de icing. Now I’ve read a few things about corrosion on contacts and some more about degraded heating elements! I’d like to check those so does anyone have a how to or guide to b9 wing glass removal...

    B9 tuning options

    I’m going to get the s4 tuned in the near future and I’ve been looking for reliable tuning options, but I suppose I’ve always thought that APR might be the best option however I’m a little confused by their info - there seems to be the suggestion on their website that the basic stage 1 gains...

    Has anyone got a good close up pic of an s4 with the front bumper removed?

    In a continued quest to discover the problem with my A/C It’s been identified that the uv dye is emanating from the bottom right of the condenser. I haven’t had a chance to take off the bumper but I’d like to see what’s in the lower right corner of the condenser- the dye seems to come from...

    Has anyone replaced their own AC condenser?

    So having recently added UV dye to the system I can see that there is staining on the lower right of the AC condenser (as you look at the car) hoping it’s just a hose seal (as firebits suggested) but I fear it’s the condenser! Has anyone done a DIY replacement? Has anyone used a non Audi...

    Exhaust options S4

    So I’m after an exhaust for the S4 It’s not about power , just sound ! I’m not really convicted by the audio clips of S4 Milltek systems I’ve heard on you tube etc. Yeah I know that the most of the Audio clips don’t do an exhausts justice - they all sound a bit muted and understated to me. My...

    Water getting in !

    Okay - I’m foxed by this, I seem to have wet sound damping material in the back of an avant! It’s not in the boot itself but in the left hand side compartment where, rather worryingly, a pile of fuses and cables live ! My initial thought was that it’s come in through the baffle that’s in there...
