    Is there a favourite car colour for birds?

    It's illegal to shoot seagulls over land, however out at sea it's fill ya boots time. Trouble is you don't see that many at sea as they're to busy over the land eating anything they can find then shi**ing on peoples cars! Nothing but flying rats.

    New B8.5 S4 member

    Doh, I checked yesterday and you beat me. Mine is actually the 26 June not July so they were probably on the the production line at the same time.

    Mine is late July 2015 with CREC, so also it's one of the last supercharged S4's (I think).

    Used car - independent servicing an issue?

    I personally have no issue with an independent specialist service history, to be honest the service is probably more thorough than at a main dealer.

    I've only done a few thousand miles in mine since I bought it in 2018, every time is like a new car day :racer:.

    A4 B&O front door bass speakers needing replaced

    I also found no where to fit the crossovers and I guess (hope) Audi have separated the frequencies in the system, well that's my thinking. The standard B&O tweeters have a 4.7 ohm capacitor on them, so I unsoldered them and reused them in-line to the new Focal ones. I've completed the doors and...

    Place to buy parts

    Vagbremtechnic https://www.vagbremtechnic.com/ I have them on my 2015 S4 and highly recommend, very popular among S4/S5 owners as the standard brakes are somewhat lacking on such heavy cars.

    A4 B&O front door bass speakers needing replaced

    I'm currently in the middle of replacing all of the B&O crappy speakers in my 2015 S4, standard are really cheap paper cone type with a B&O sticker on them. Dash Mid range speakers (left/right and centre) are done as are both front doors (165mm woofer + 1" tweeter) which has made massive...

    Transpires 3 previous owners not 2. What to do?

    My S4 had 4 owners in 4 years and only 22k miles, however it came with every penny spent including original bill of sale. I paid for a full HPI check and that came back all clean, the car is/was in an absolute peach condition wise and still smelled new inside. I've owned it for 2 years now...

    Next car after A4, Skoda VRS?

    I had a second Male menopause and bought a 2005 Maserati Gransport a useable Italian Supercar (well it was when new), however I just couldn't get comfortable for a drive more than 30 minutes. Now own a 2015 B8.5 S4, without doubt one of the best cars I've owned.
