Did u sort yr tyres? Yep Yokos are always soft, had p zeros on the s4 and were a great tyre but didn't last me long :-( on verdestiens at the moment and so far been impressed! Not too pricey either.
Hay we have just bought a b8 s4 avant it's a 59 plate it's got an s Tronic box and we love it! We also have a b6 s4 cab. They are totally different cars but if u have a b6 a4 you'll love the b8. The power is lovely . Gear box is a little jerky in lower gears and I have to remember not to use...
Well several days after both gearbox oil and filter changes and a software update the car seems a lot smoother.. It's still slightly jerky around 1st 2nd and reverse but it feels more controlled now not so hit and miss as it did before. The hunting revs are still there but no so obvious. So far...
Saints400: thanks for your reply, god a new gear box ?what an earth went wrong with the oil change? Were the oils mixed up or something? Sounds an absolute bummer. Cars in garage as we speak, so will have to wait and see how it comes bk tomorrow. I think a lot of it is getting used to the new...
Thanks for your reply, no our car hasn't had the oil change, it's booked in with the garage we bought the car from on Thursday they have said they will change gear box oils and filters as we realised its a little over due. They are also going to see if it needs any soft ware updates as we have...
what previous 6 speed did you have ? we also have a b6 s4 cab although the gear change through out the other gears on the b8 are extremely smooth the b6 doesn't have this problem in the low gears. its no way near as snatchy as the b8 ?
i have read that there was a software up date on the gear...
we have had our b8 s4 a couple of days and have noticed a couple of niggly things and really want confirmation if this is normal or if its a problem!
I have noticed that when driving the car on light throttle the revs hunt by about 200-300rpm up and down, I have only noticed it at low revs. I...
lovely looking car :0) I'm sure i saw one of these on you tube that had been re mapped and left an rs4 for dust.... surly thats worth £1200 for the grin factor !
glad your enjoying your new car. Hopefully you'll get used to the gear box, having said that our b6 s4 always changes gear too soon and i cant help feel that maybe audi had to hold back with the s4 to make sure that the rs4 that much better?! your car looks lovely and its in the best colour too :0)
its all about personal choice... and after coming from a rwd its worth thinking about wether you want a Quattro or front wheel drive too. i prefer the look of s lines and they generally they come with leather seats, bigger wheels nicer steering wheel etc not just the harder lower suspension...
