    Rear boot lid spoiler

    Found that out too, bought one from E-Bay which was deeper and found it was for the B6 A4 not S4. Audi are charging £220 for the S4 spoiler, very steep for a piece of plastic. Mind you not as steep as the £800 they wanted for fitting, spraying and respray of the top of the boot lid!!

    Alloy wheel refurb

    There's a couple of places in the North East to have them done. The one I use is SEM in Southwick Industrial Estate, Sunderland. Do a top notch job every time by taking the wheel back to primer, filling / arc welding, the latter if rim damage, profiling, respray and lacquer the entire wheel and...

    Anyone Modded their S4?

    [ QUOTE ] There's a review on here somewhere. List all posts by me and you'll find it as it was fairly recent. [/ QUOTE ] Cheers, just what I wanted to hear. Now for some serious punishment to my pads and disks to justify buying new sets earlier!!

    Recommend an insurance Company

    Just been doing the insurance renewal rounds. With Sainsbury's at present but renewal quote was higher than that stated by money supermarket for Sainsbury and when I then did a quote through their own site still cheaper than my renewal, even though when I saked I was told that the best price is...

    A4 1.8t (190 ) quattro puncture

    If you've got a full size sapre why not use it and your new tyre on the same axle and keep the 5 mm tread one as the spare. Means you won't have any problems so long you buy the same make of tyre.

    S4 mirrors and misted headlamps

    [ QUOTE ] Looking at another S4 - the headlights had condensation inside is this normal - it was early morning? Also the wing mirrors (glass) had a thin rubbery/plastic beading around the edge - I've not noticed this before [/ QUOTE ] Just get on, put yourself out of your misery and buy one...

    Anyone Modded their S4?

    Me too. I've changed the cat back system and will replace the four cats with 2 in January so have a complete S/S system although mine's not a Milltek. Fortunate enough to have someone local who custom builds stainless exhaust systems. People at my local meets say it does sound more tuneful than...

    OIL CONSUMPTION

    Yep, I've used about three quarts of oil in the first 18000, V8's do drink it. It also takes 9 litres at service which is why the service price is steep, equates to about £100 of oil.

    FSi S4

    4.0 TDi unti is the only one in the VAG group by my understanding which now has been increased to a 4.2 V8 TDi in the new A8. Nearest petrol is 4.2 V8

    A4 s-line alloys(RS6 style)

    Kenny, if you venture South of the Border at any time I can highly recommend a refurb specialist in Mackemland where I take mine. They strip them back, rebuild, respray and bake the entire wheel, my 18" Avus cost £47 inc VAT. Take a couple of days to do but well worth it. Have used three...

    HELP! Squeeking seats!

    It might actually be the seat belt anchors, badly designed and I have had the same problem with my S3 and S4. Best thing to do is wedge a cloth in between the seatbelt socket / box mechanism and the seat and see if that works. For a long term solution use self adhesive padding in the same area.

    time to make the jump

    Make the transition, you won't regret it I've had my S4 saloon 10 months now and haven't once thought about my S3. If anything, the other half complains the S4 is too powerful and wants me to get the S3 back as it doesn't make her pass out when foot is flat to the floor on the go pedal...

    S4 COSTS

    [ QUOTE ] Not sure of the point your making. They are cheaper but and not so good. PS2's and F1's trounce the CSC2s in my opinion (and many others). If you work out the pence per mile of tyres you'll see the cost is minimal compared with the amound of fuel or depreciation. Therefore go for the...
