So I’ll be as brief as I can. I’m mainly writing up so that people in the future may see this and it will help them out a bit. So some background. I have had my S4 since March ’14 and it was the first automatic car I’ve owned. It was one of the first few thousand B8 S4 S-Tronics off the...

So my nearside Xenon bulb is acting up. When I start the engine it comes on fine, then after a minute or 2 it flicks out and I get a bulb warning on the dash. If I turn the lights off and on again, it re-ignites but goes off again shortly afterwards. Am I right in thinking that it's the bulb...

I'm after some advice as I've never had headlight washers on a car before. I had my OH sit in the car and activate the washers the other day. Eventually the headlight washers popped out like they should do, but no washer fluid came out of them. It wasn't freezing and the fluid was diluted...

I've been trying to enable ADS for a fellow forum member (@Grubb) who has a 2015 S Line 3.0 TDI with MMI 3G+. I followed the guide for MMI 3G cars, but at the end it became apparent that it didn't work - nothing happened - the coding for the newer cars is different. So back to trawling the...

I'm looking at motor renewals and looking over a quote, I read the paragraph below. I've never noticed this before, I just wondered if it is standard practise in the insurance business or what: "We will not pay any claim under section 2 - Loss of or Damage to your vehicle - arising from theft...

Can anyone help me with this please. I tried to align the climate control flaps on my car the other day. No errors, but I found on my old car it was sensible to align them now and again. I went into 08 HVAC and then 04 Basic Settings and clicked Go on channel 1. I thought I had done that...

Watch this video and take a wild guess at what I've had fitted! :) https://www.dropbox.com/s/xdh1mef7f1e7iiy/20150215_152621.mp4?dl=0

... my rear wiper blade to remove itself from the car. I put it on to clear the rear window this morning and noticed the blade wasn't there. It's detached itself from the bit of metal that attaches to the rear wiper arm - I only bought it from Audi 6 months ago. Does anyone know off the top...

Just after some advice. I've noticed that 1 bar of my heated rear windscreen doesn't work and it's quite annoying. I'm with Admiral for insurance and they say they'll cover the replacement of any window, but I wondered if it needs to be cracked or does a failed heating element qualify it for a...

I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread about the issue on here... unless I missed it. Either way, this type of thing will benefit from being repeated until everyone has checked their car. A few weeks ago, Watchdog on BBC1 showed an A5 (you know, the prettier A4!) being driven away in less...

I took the car on a rolling road on Saturday morning. I'm planning on modding next year and I thought an unrelated road would give me a good indication of results. So here's the car on the rolling road... And here's the result, should be making 328bhp... Quite pleased with that. I have...

I've seen a thread on this recently, but can't find it now. I have MMI 2G with DAB and when you select the radio station and Control you get the control wheel. On it is "Info" - If I select this the screen goes blank and it says "Getting Radio 1 images" or something like that. I left it like...

I don't need them, but I've got the good old S4 brake squeal. 15-45mph and it squeals from the front when the brakes have warmed up, it's annoying. Have removed the pads and bevelled them, cleaned thoroughly the entire system, smothered copper grease all over the place and there's been no...

I've got a B8 S4 Avant, it's a daily drive and it's in Misano red. I like to keep it clean and use a friend's DA polisher on it from time to time, but I would say I'm barely an amateur at this. I use Megs mirror glaze products for cutting/polishing and then another product for sealing (whose...

I wonder can anyone shed some light on/answer the following... 1. When I start the car (S4) from cold, it idles very high (but not unevenly, it's very smooth) for about a minute before settling down. The revs also immediately drop to normal if I put it in D 2. Can you select the next track...

My Car has developed a rumbling today, does anyone have any suggestions as to what it could be? I was driving earlier and heard the rumble at about 55-60 and about 45-50. I actually thought it was the exhaust of the car ahead. But then it got worse and it happens all the time now, almost like I...

Just a quick set of pics in case anyone is considering it. I was getting fed up of punks in their base model BMWs trying it on, so decided to take off the S4 badge at the back. Also replaced the V6T on the side as I find it annoying, what with the car not having a 'T!' Enjoy... Before...

I've had my B8 S4 for a few months now and only just got around to fiddling with the Bluetooth telephone - I don't use my phone for calls very often! I tried pairing it and went through the process of entering the big long code on my phone and the MMI said it was paired successfully. Then...

My headlights look fine, but up close you can see lots of little stone impacts and when you unlock the car at night, the LED lights really highlight the stone marks. I've tried wet and dry sanding from 1000grit and it's only made a small difference. Does anyone have an suggestions as to a way...

You all know the score... I have LED interior lights, LED rear plate lights, Xenons with the little built in LEDs and.... lovely yellow-ish fog lights. I'd quite like to finish the LED 'look' with LED fog lights, but I'm not sure of the legality of that? Has anyone got some LED fog lights...
