Hello, I seemed to have developed a loud cluncking noise on the 'drive' of my S4. Now when I say drive, I think it may b prop\diff\gearbox or driveshaft related.... It seems to happen at low speed when I come off the gas or put gas on....which is why i think its a joint thats worn. I also...

Now I've had several conversations in the past about what can and can't be fitted onto a B5 S4. Does anyone have a breakdown of what calipers bolt straight on a S4, I.E. B5 RS4 etc, and what can be fitted with what carriers etc etc. Im looking at changing the discs on mine again, and a good...

****** cars, wasn't life so much easier as a snotty kid on a pushbike? Anyway, I need S4 help again. I had what I thought was a rocker cover gasket leak and decided to strip it down and replace today. Now after successfully fitting I still have a leak....I know this cos its stinks and oil comes...

Morning, Drove my car 20miles last night and realised that my engine oil gauge was only showing 70c??? My car usually runs 90-100c on the old gauge, so was a bit surprised to see this.....Now it was only 1 degrees on my journey and untypical off me I was in top gear doing 60mph all the...

Afternoon, Prob a nice easy one What vag aero wipers arms fit the b5 s4? My mate just picked up some passat b5.5 arms + blades for £20 for his older passat and it got me thinking.....As my blades need replacing and I currently have the 'fake' Bosch Aero blades, but even these are £20, U...

Morning folks, hopefully a nice easy one to get your teeth into....... So, get out the car this morning and lock it as normal, thing is one whole side of my car (passenger side) doesnt blink the indicator lights to let me know its locked???Right side was fine. To make things stranger, if I...

Evening all, I posted a thread a few months ago regarding my S4 puffing blue smoke when starting..... Well, the story goes like this I had a oil service recently, and put a engine conditioner through to "hopefully" clear the problem which was believed to be a hard valve stem seal. I...

Morning, A couple of bits for you guys to get your teeth into........ 1.) My little darling seems to let out a little puff of blue smoke upon starting. this is only on turn over, so it going to be the valve stems? I have noticed mine going through a litre of oil every couple of months, but I...

Evening, I got a service coming up and want the sparks done. Whats the best for a B5 S4? I think Doug from MRC put RS2 plats in last time, that sound about right?

Ive recently realised how poorly adjusted my xenons are. Considering they are meant to be considerable better than standard Halos, mine only seem to pitch about 10ft from the bonnet . Now I think they need adjusting, but after a little surfing, seems that lowering the car messes the system up...

Evening Chaps (and Ladys) After a bit of a chat with Aragorn the other day, im still in two minds about what to do with an exhaust. Now the options are the 'cheap ebay' units or a exhaust frabricator, as there is no way im paying 1/4 of what my car is worth for a milltek. Now I want a manifold...

I know im being lazy by not searching, but sometimes its easier this way..... Last night my alarm started going off for no reason, and then continued to bleep away every 30mins from 3am until I got bored and disconnected the alarm unit to shut it up! Now I have been told that B5 A4's are...

Last time I had these changed, Doug at MRC put a set of RS2 Platinum's in. Now does anyone know the life of these (as car seems same as always, but they were changed three years ago) and do I need these again or are the S4 alternatives just as good?? Any info would be helpful Nathan

I posted a Thread a few weeks ago regarding exhaust systems for S4's. I was looking at the milltek option, but fully spec'd (manifold back) will cost near 2k. So, I was looking into cheaper options, as I think the milltek is bit overpriced. Now i think im going to get rid of all CATS (I...

Afternoon, S4 is doing this weird noise again under hard acceleration, but now it is coupled with some horrible vibration!!!! So just to recap, noise is like a bag of nails in the exhaust, but now with the added 'ball ache' of vibration through steering, which does seem to dissappear the...

After an aggressive start off lights earlier this evening, I started to get a weird knocking noise under load???It almost sounds like a stone being shaken in a tin can? Now it only happends under hard throttle and when when turning right???I thought CV, but theres no noise when I roll without...

I put my S4 into a mate of mine to run VAG test other day and he told me that the MAF wasnt running correctly. Now my question is can I, or should I change the MAF to a RS4 unit??My car is tuned, and Im looking to add more BHP, so would it be benefical to change???Now I know there slighty...

Evening all, Looking to replace my B5 unit,and wanted some advice.... Now I had my eye on the dual 2.5" Milltek, but now im wondering after I spend nearly 2 grand, am I getting the best for the following criteria..... Sound - Dont want to sound like a "v8" 1.2 corsa, but would like a nice...

Firstly, What is the annoying tapping coming from the dash of my B5 S4. It has got worse since the lowering, cos of the stiff ride. Someone I know said that its something to do with some clips on the windscreen that hit part of the chassis, and newer models have a velour on to stop the...

Morning, Just a quick one......I took my S4 out on friday after having left it on drive for a couple of weeks, and she seemed to be running a little flat??I had the good old MRC tune a couple of years ago now, but am wondering if it needs a little dyno run to see if it is still running how it...
