    Bens B8.5 S4 Review

    Right, so here goes. My Audi history began back in '99 with an A3 1.8T which got the AmD treatment, then an S3 in 2001 (one of the first Revo tuned cars), followed by a Sportec tuned B5 RS4 in 2004. Needless to say, I loved Audis! The RS got sold on for an M3 CSL, at which point I was sold on...

    Stop whining!

    I believe so Chop - I'll pull the thing if someone can point me in the right direction. You got the diff on your wagon? Is it silent? Cheers, Ben

    Stop whining!

    Afraid not Chop. A pitched whine for sure, just not sure whether mechanical or electrical. Either way bugging me....

    Stop whining!

    No, not the kids for once, but an irritating whining noise upon deceleration on my S4. Most prevalent at under 2k RPM. Reminds me of when you had a radio in your old car that made a noise that matched your RPM because you didn't have the wiring done properly (or something like that). It's...

    Private sale circa 26/27k - would you buy???

    You could always insist after you've done the basics checks that any deal is subject to an inspection at the main dealer along the lines of a pre-warranty check (at your cost of course). If that gets knocked back by the seller you know something is up. If Audi finds anything wrong then they...

    Help Please .First MOT, brake fluid change, warranty Checks and a remapped S4

    And finally, when Audi couldn't diagnose a hesitancy under load on the RS, I suggested we change the diverted valves out from the plastic ***** as standard to some shiny Forge 007's (if anyone is old enough to remember those babies) and that cured it. I supplied, they fitted modified parts for...

    Help Please .First MOT, brake fluid change, warranty Checks and a remapped S4

    Don't panic mate. We're all adults so have a sensible conversation as and when it arises. I think the only drama I ever really had was about a corroded strip above the number plate on the boot lid. On a 2 year old car that wasn't really something we should be bickering about. The fact it...

    Help Please .First MOT, brake fluid change, warranty Checks and a remapped S4

    As mentioned above, state you don't want any work without prior approval, including software updates of any sort. What do you mean by out of warranty checks? I've not run a modified car under warranty for some time, but when I did (B5 RS4, with map, exhaust, wheels etc) I never mentioned it...

    Looking for an S4 B8.5

    I bought my saloon circa 6 weeks ago for under £25k from the main dealer - 2014 Black Edition with diff, dampers, and MMi High - it's like new and had done 23k miles. Took a while to find an 8.5 with those boxes ticked.... Cheers, Ben

    S4 Brakes squealing

    Judging by the state of my wheels after 1000 odd miles I'd say the pads are well bedded, they still squeak so guess I'll try something else when they're finished. Prefer a grey finish to the peelers anyway!

    S4 Brakes squealing

    A first post for a good 10yrs (had to re-register with a new username as old linked email so can't reset) but I can concur that my recently acquired B8.5 does just that on it's new standard stoppers. Made me question whether a liberal dose of copper grease wasn't applied when they were...
