All credit to @jdp1962 for this one but thought I'd write it up for others.
You will need something to poke with. I went for a cocktail stick but I'm told a paperclip works too. :)
Open fuel flap. Look for accumulated gunk and water. Poke it. Have cup of tea, you're done!

Dodo Acrylic Spritz. Really good on sticky curtain poles for a smooth action. :D
Rain X 2-in1 glass cleaner is handy on shower screens (and rubbish on cars).
My S4 is out of warranty next month. I thought I'd have a quick look at the official Audi Extended Warranty. I have a deep unease about warranties not being worth the paper they are printed on (which is worth even less these days as it's a PDF). :D
The main cover I'd be looking for is the...
The exhaust tips on my S4 had a lot of burnt on tar. I've been putting it off but finally got on with it. Washed, CarPro Trix, washed again, Autosol and finally two coats of Planet Polish Wheel Seal & Shine.
Afters.
Car is a 2014 B8.5 S4. Given that I'm not very handy how hard is it? I see the procedure listed in the manual.
Bulb out was the left main headlight. I restarted the car and the bulb started working again but I'm assuming this is the beginning of the end?
I am going to pop into Audi first as...
Too warm here to wash cars in the daytime and too lazy to wash them in the evening so ordered some Optimum No Rinse. 30ml in 2 litres of water in a sprayer for pre-spraying panels. 45ml in 10 litres of water for the wash bucket. Microfibre noodle wash mitt was the weapon of choice.
Pre-spray a...
Anyone got a recommendation for a PDR place in any of the above locations? I have a dent right on the crease line which may not be PDR-able but I'd at least like to ask the question.
Thanks.
I recently splurged some cash on a few Gyeon products and thought I'd collect my thoughts here. There's a lot of hype around detailing but I prefer to try stuff and see what I think. Gyeon was chosen for a couple of reasons: 1) my wife's car has Gyeon MOHS+ on it so need to maintain that 2) my...
As many people seem to live in fear of S-Tronic issues I wondered if it might be useful to see which warranty companies cover S-Tronic. Sadly I think this might be best proved by people that have successfully claimed.
So, have you successfully claimed for an S-Tronic issue? If so who was the...
Washed the car. Dried it. Packing everything away. Get to the final thing, the pressure washer. Just coiling the hose up and a flock of birds flies over and sh*ts all over the car I just spent an hour washing.
I'm afraid I said "you've got to be sh*tting me” before it occurred to me the irony...
Just a quick observation really. My car has HHA (hill hold assist) and I use it all the time in traffic (rarely on hills) :) . I'd seen posts about people commenting they didn't like it as it left the brake lights on, shining at the driver behind. Now it's proper dark out I've noted that (at...
Had some tar on my S4 chrome tail pipes. Removed that. Followed up with Autosol. Then to finish used Planet Polish Wheel Seal and Shine. Works a treat.
HTH.
