Coolant leaks were certainly a common issue on the 2.0tfsi engine. The petrol S4 has a reputation for chocolate thermostats. Doesn't usually leak everywhere so I don't know how easy it is to spot. First sign is fans running full speed the whole time and temp gauge 1 notch over normal. Mine...

If there's no number buttons the car hasn't got memory seats. They weren't standard when I bought mine. Annoyingly they were "only" £200...but required £350 folding/dimming/memory mirrors to be added as well!

Is it the front passenger seatbelt banging against the side of the seat? I had to stick some felt on the seat in my car to stop it - very annoying!

I haven't driven a BiTDI but compared to an A6 TDI 272, a petrol S4 feels much quicker and sounds far better (in sport mode of course). The 272 isn't slow, but feels it after driving the S4 because it's so quiet and undramatic.

Suspect S6's are rare because new the BiTDI wasn't far off performance wise (C7 at least) and if you didn't want a diesel the S4 was cheaper! S4 is a great car, but if you're worried about mpg it's probably not the one for you! [emoji1787] I get mid-high teens in traffic and low-mid 20s in...

I don't but have a search of the forum and I'm sure there will be a few discussions on FL changes. I do know FL cars ditched the MMI control wheel and went touchscreen only (in a car not designed for touchscreen; why Audi, why?) [emoji849]. That's one way to spot a FL car!

PFL cars definitely did not have them as standard. Don't know about FL cars but Audi chop and change standard spec year on year which doesn't help.

Good choice. If it is a software fault the specialist patrol should be able to do the update for you.

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be a known issue - Audi assist came out and fixed it with a software update. Note that an AA guy scanned the car first and couldn't find any codes on his reader - it only showed up in the OEM Audi diagnostic tool when Audi Assist scanned it.

Yes, that's the next stage after fan noise. I say this as an S4 owner on his third thermostat [emoji25] If you have Audi assist it's worth calling them - may allow you to get the car booked in earlier.

If it's the TFSI it'll probably be a failed thermostat. Almost a standard fault on this engine - search the forum for more info [emoji846]

I'd say allow £300/year servicing at a main dealer - some years will be more some less. As said, post the (2017?) £40k+ rule change, vehicle tax carries a £310 "because we can" premium for 5 years after first registration (making it £475-ish), then it drops down to normal from year 6. The S4...

You're correct that S-Line models have firmer suspension and (probably) larger wheels, which affect ride, but adaptive suspension isn't standard. On a manual, drive select will change the throttle response and that's about it! The car will probably feel less sluggish in Dynamic mode, but the...

After getting a replacement thermostat in 2019 the same symptoms have come back today - temp one notch over normal, fans running full and start/stop fault on dash. Not happy!

Can't remember when MY's changeover but my S4 was first registered in Dec 2017.

I asked the same question and was told there was an update available but my 67 plate car was too old for it. [emoji22]

How smooth is your adaptive cruise? Mine is fine most of the time but will occasionally brake late & sharply, which doesn't go down well with passengers! Traffic jam assist is particularly prone to it - despite there being a car metres in front it'll sometimes surge forward and then brake hard...

The thermostat housing is the only issue I can think of. Mine went after 18 months and it's quite a common problem with that engine. Replaced under warranty but some people's have gone more than once - there's a long thread on here about it.

While my answer to your question is "no", I own an S4 and test drove an A6 with the 3.0 272ps engine before I bought it. I can't compare braking or handling but the power delivery was totally different; the A6 felt like a brisker version of the 2.0 diesel I had at the time, with no drama or...

Maybe the WiFi password has been changed. Try resetting it. Can't remember if there's a button on the UTR but if not a blank SD card will do it (config is stored on there too).
