Right, I been back under car and there is def noise coming from both the prop to diff coupling and the front driveshaft couplings. It almost like when I twist the prop in my hand there is play (i.e. doesnt immediately take up the slack) its ****** annoying. If i drive its when im on\off the...

No joy with the diff mounts, it def seems to be play in the joint between the diff and prop and also fron the joints on the driveshaft before they go into gearbox....Any ideas anyone?

I expect 13 yrs of torque has to take its toll somewhere!!! haha Cheers Bud

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...

I believe its the CAM Sealant Cap. Looks very simply to replace, just pops out, no tools required!!!

****** 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...

WD is a temp fix or not even a fix at all (didnt work for me) Strip them and do it properly. The fault is caused by the metals on the spindels and arm pivots fusing together. There are many simple how to's knocking around, and I have to say I was amazed at the difference, they asolutely fly...

Make the journey over to Jabba sport in Peterborough, they did my old cable throttle 1.8t to 210bhp with pipercross panel filter and jetex back box. Your's will be fly-by-wire, so expect a little more. Big boys go to MRC, but I don't believe he does 1.8t's could be wrong....

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...

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...

well it only smokes when I turn it over. doesnt smoke when driving, i get a bit of a cloud of carbon when i boot it, but thats been the same for as long as I can remember. The dipstick is *****, so i wonder if im over filling it and its spitting it through, cos it doesnt do it all the time...

about 150miles a week. I spose Ive put half a litre in it in the last two months

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...
