I had my wheel arches replaced by Audi under paint warranty as they said this shouldn’t happen on a car this age. It was a few years ago now and my car is a 2010. The paint was blistering and flaking off from the lower inner arch. The Audi dealer measuring the paint and said it was thinner...

Yep mine was a standard x pipe not the model above that as you say is more of a silencer isn’t it. It was loud overall but the drone around 3k revs was unbearable.

Yep still got it, not doing many miles as a stay at home dad now so definitely won’t see me early in the morning over that way . You still enjoying the S4?

Hey Keef, how’s things? Yep that was me, had the centre silencer replaced with the x pipe, sounded pretty good outside the car but in my personal opinion made the exhaust far too loud inside to the point I was embarrassed to put my foot down. Again only in my opinion but it made the exhaust...

Hiya, sorry for late reply, baby number two arrived on Tuesday so been an interesting week! They didn't fit the plastic liner as found on the B8.5. I asked about this but they claimed this was not the problem that it was to do with water build up behind the arches. The body shop was Listers...

Can't see it online yet but Evo mag have reviewed both the S4 and S5 in this months magazine. Not sure if it's in the shops yet but I got mine through the door on Monday. Will post when I see it online! Generally a good review for both cars. They seem to think while the engine is very good...

Worth a try I guess. Be interested to hear how you get on!!!

Hiya Keef, yes been a while, hope all is well?! I now find myself in forums looking for answers to questions like "why won't my baby stop crying" Joking aside all good just not had much time to post much but been lurking and keeping an eye on the forum when I can. Sorry for going off topic...

Hi Kevin, Have you tried driver transmissions in Birmingham. They are based in Digbeth. Only ever used them for gearbox oil change myself but my dad used to be a trader and always took cars to them for clutches and gearboxes. Worth a try as sounds like they are quite local to you.

Hi mate, they were very vague to be honest, I tried to quiz them more and they said something about water building up behind the wheel arch somewhere so there was a modification which involved replacing some rusted bolts with a new style and re painting the area behind the wheel arch liner which...

Hi all, Been a while since I've posted. Had a baby boy 17 months a go and strangely time seems to fly Anyway, noticed when I bought my car that some of the pint was coming away from the inner front wheel arch area and always thought I would get t sorted one day but it was nothing major...

Hi Boydie, As the others have said I think it's either the pipe mod or go for replacement exhaust as I don't think the s4 has any flaps in the exhaust as standard. I wouldn't recommend the pipe mod personally as it was just way way to loud and the drone unbearable. Benjie, when I had my x...

Had them on my last car which was a 350z to replace the standard bridgestones. Great tyres and seemed to be wearing very well lasting longer than the bridgestones. I'll be getting some in the new year for my S4 without a doubt.

Ah, glad you think you have identified the issue mate, certainly sounds like it may be a more simple fix than messing with the suspension components! Not great early on but I guess you always get the odd issue. Hope you get it sorted! Oh and Happy New Year for tomorrow :)

Not had any issues with mine which also has ADS but I'd get that reported to Audi ASAP if it's under warranty as would imagine dampers could be expensive. 3 months gives time to test out any repairs too. Get it booked in mate and hope it all gets sorted!! Let us know how you get on.

I use a company called Vastec to do my discs and pads and will be using them for servicing going forward. VAG group specialist in Warwick. I was more than happy with them. http://www.vwaudiservices.co.uk/contact_vastec_servicing.html Not sure of that's any good but hope you get it sorted!

Cheers for the info mate, certainly sound like a good improvement. I will obviously aim for stage 2 but I'm pretty sure I'll still be happy with a stage 1 remap if that's all I can afford. After all anything over 400bhp is awesome if you ask me I just can't get these 480bhp figures out of my...

Don't know why I read this thread as it just makes me want to do the MRC Stage 2!!!! Anyone else out there with a stage 1, just wondered how different it feels to stock? I'm guessing even the Stage 1 would be a noticeable improvement! Trick971, would you say your Revo with around 400BHP feels...

Im also using Castrol Edge 5w30 at the mo but looking to change next time round to see if the oil consumption is slightly better. I don't get through that much but do have to top up half a litre every few thousand miles. A few posts a while back said they also thought that after moving away...

We are the same, wife has a 1 series convertible but I'll be the one with the little one most of the time. Other times the wife will use the S4. Don't blame you for keeping the TT, we thought about changing the 1 series but think we will manage. At the end of the day if it becomes a problem...
