Evening all, Would it be advisable to upgrade the turbos on an engine with 160k miles on it with K04's?? I don't want mega power, maybe 350bhp. Engine is running fine, been well looked after as well. Have put a deposit on a house so now will have a garage, so I want to put it too some use...

The garage I get the car serviced in uses 5w30 castrol edge long life pro. All i can get locally is the is the normal 5w30 castrol edge. I'll assume its ok to top up with half a litre of the normal stuff :??? Thanks, Bob

Anyone any Idea how to go about fixing this? The interior is in excellent condition given the mileage and I wont be buying a replacement interior, if I could even find one. Sooo pi**ed about this. I lit a cigarette and the threw the lighter onto the passenger seat and the lighter stayed...

Hi All, As the title says, shes juddering/slight knocking sound only when turning right, only on full lock and only at low speed [10-15 mph]. I checked the wheel nuts/Ps fluid/all suspension bolts and joints, and everything looks/feels tight. Cv joints were replaced a while back so they are...

Hi All, Does anyone know the part number for the indicator/wiper stalk assembly. The wipers are now only working on the medium setting, i have replaced the relay some months ago. So I'll just replace both sides, as the reset button wont work either. Thanks, Rob

Hi all, Below are the codes i'm getting, I got these about 6 months ago and after a day the car started running normally again, but now they are back and the car is in limp mode. 2 Is it unusual to see both sides failing/failed? I'm about to order these but thought i'd ask first. Thanks...

Hi all, I have been having a problem with the left side xenon, going out after 20 secs or so (Mind you only when the engine is turned on) i''m fairly sure its the Ballast. however given the price (And the fact i need new EGT sensors) I was wondering has anyone used these, ior would they even...

Hi, Looks like the EGT sensor from what google told me, but the 17865 & 17538 errors I cant find anything really about them. Is it mose likley just the sensor or is something else going on. Also would it be ok to drive for a few day until i order that part, Its about 20 mins to and from work...

Hi All, The left hand side headlight, just the dimmed, (main beam is fine) goes out after a minute or so! I've checked and replaced the bulb (from the other side) and the wiring and it all looks fine. So I’ll assume the next step is the ballast. Is there a way to check if it ok or not? I...

Hi All, have had a power steering leak for a few weeks now. Its coming from the front right, right under the resivour. I replaced the clips on the bottom 2 hoses, the old ones looked shot, but to no avail. Anyone know the most likley culprit? Photo is below. you can see small drops of fluid...

Hi folks, Just a quick question. from the min to max markers on the dip stick anyone know how much oil that translates to. I'm guessing about a liter but best check to be sure. Thanks in advance, Rob.

Hi folks, I have a 99 s4 and the headunit has the usual volume problem. i was looking to get a replacement but thought i might spoil myself and get a new headunit, preferably a filp out screen one. I have the bose option on the car and there is a amp in the boot plus the cd changer. Are there...

Hi all, Just got my first S4 1999 at the weekend. Its a peach, 127,000 on the clock but there was a folder of reciepts and a full service history. 6500 euro so i think for the car it was a bargin. Some small issues but nothing major. Hope i bougt a good one and wont be on here too much (though...

Hi All, Firstly its a 1999 S4. I bought the car at the weekend, after 2 test drives over the last few weekends. the air con was fine, everything worked. At the moment though no matter if the system in in aircom or manual mode the fan never seems to spin up. It did this morning and cleared...
