I know that the point of an S4 isn't good fuel economy but thought I would share a long trip real world economy figure, A roads including some overtakes, through the centre of a town and then M1, M25 and M3 on a Sunday afternoon so plenty of traffic. Good figures for me this was how I could...

I came from an A3 and I definitely find the hill hold different in the s4. It seems that it only switches on automatically when parking if the car is at an angle otherwise it seems to prefer the gearbox. I do also find at junctions it doesn't allways hold as well and can find it what's to...

I work in IT and the articles ive seen suggest possibility of semiconductor production getting back to normal by Autumn, the onward supply chain backlog may take longer to catch up that is true but think Pork needed some positive thoughts to get back into love with his S4 order... I was...

Evening pork, I ordered an S4 Avant vorsprung last August, initially delivery was planned for December 4 months, ended up being 9 months pick up in June 2021. I got an order number early doors but didn't get a build week until mid December. It was a really long wait but what turned up was well...

I was referring to this concept from 2014, where they suggested that an rs5 bitdi could have been the future, anyone recognise the drivetrain? https://www.autoevolution.com/news/audi-details-v6-tdi-with-electric-charger-in-rs5-concept-photo-gallery-82734.html So this has been in Audi's head...

There are always different choices and I wouldn't buy a petrol S4 as I couldn't have lived with the economy, I didn't want a diesel but the mpg made it possible, to have good performance and a level of economy for when I have to do long motorway journeys. The S4 and all the TDI s cars are the...

I had a battery replaced under warranty by be in a Tiguan wouldn't start the car, there was a recall on a batch of batteries with bad cells in be at least, guess there could be a common supply across vag

Glad the coding helped, not really looked at mmi much for seats will take a little ok next time I'm out there. Good work on the retrofit that's a serious job! Look forward to a write up see what's what!

Nice matrix lights and red calipers go lovely with the Daytona

Made a little mod tonight front end was looking too chrome...

Awesome news Dave! Really pleased for you and such a simple fix and good to know it's under the subwoofer too as expected. It does sound good in dynamic when you launch it at a junction, a few people have also got excited on start up of the doors are open from the burble it's a good speaker!

Thanks for the heads up spike I had seen that loving the car coating has been doing a great job too!

Sounds like good progress, at least there suggesting they will take some action, my mib3 seems to be on similar software versions but could be all sort of updates they could push be interesting to see what they do, I think they have a process of plugging the car in and getting coding updates and...

I've been using individual a lot and it holds the exhaust noise setting, all of these systems communicate over can from what I've read so it could be as simple as the can setting to communicate isn't set, if the dealer records show you should only have the internal one then I think the way it...

Ive had a few more looks today following Dave's question about the speaker and found the following diagram and control units, looks like the S4 at least has two active sound systems the Soundaktor and a sound generator. The first is the one we were expecting to see and is common across all...
