    Sadly selling my S4 B9 Avant

    The sad time has come where I am selling my S4 B9 Avant. After 4 years of loving ownership, I am selling and moving to BMW with an M340I Touring. I'd have happily stayed with Audi if it wasn't for the, frankly ridiculous, decision of changing to a diesel. Not particularly fond of the touch...

    Thoughts on S4 B9 Petrol Replacements?

    Definitely. If nothing else, it'll give me negotiating leverage over Audi. I may also have a look at the new XF. It's *only* got a 300 HP 2.0 Engine for the top model though...

    Tailgate problems on Avant. It tries to eat me.

    My missus had this on our B9 S4. Turns out she was standing with her feet under the rear bumper and it was setting the motion detectors off. Could this be happening to you?

    Thoughts on S4 B9 Petrol Replacements?

    I understand what you're saying, but I would have to get out a loan to cover the whole amount where as a PCP deal only covers the amount estimated lost through depreciation over 3/4 years. This means my monthly payments are lower which is key. To get the same monthly payments with a loan, I'd...

    Thoughts on S4 B9 Petrol Replacements?

    See, I test drove the diesel and I found it noticeably slower and a and b roads. It may not have been any slower, but it certainly *felt* slower. It just lacked in the excitement and charisma areas for me, feeling heavier and less balanced in the corners. It probably wasn't. But it just felt...

    Thoughts on S4 B9 Petrol Replacements?

    I have, but I like to buy my cars new. Generally find you get better interest repayments and all of the roadside assistance/warranty etc leads to better peace of mind. It's definitely worth keeping in mind though.

    Thoughts on S4 B9 Petrol Replacements?

    I honestly mean this from the bottom of my heart. I hope the S4 TDI fails miserably. I'm sure that's going to upset a lot of S4 TDI owners. But I really, really dislike it and I dislike the idea as much as the actual car itself. I feel this way about SUVs/Crossovers too so, knowing my luck...

    Thoughts on S4 B9 Petrol Replacements?

    Hi everyone. Got my B9 S4 Avant in Feb 2018 and, honestly, its as close to as perfect of a car as I've ever had. I love it. My replacement path was going to be clear. Buy a new S4 B9. Then Audi went and threw a spanner in the works by sticking a diesel engine in them. Now, I'm sure there are...

    Mid-life refresh + C Class update

    Advice on tyres/socks/chain for trip to Switzerland

    Winter tyres aren't just good for snow. They're better than "normal" tyres for all conditions where the temperature is lower than about 10℃. I can't remember who did the video (got a feeling it was Evo), but they tested the best summer tyres against the respective companies winter tire range...

    New Air Con controls

    Thanks for the info chaps. I'm nipping into an Audi garage in about 15/20 mins to get absolute clarification, I'll post the response here. My initial thought was that it was a rendering issue on the car configurator, I couldn't believe that Audi would ditch that lovely temperature selector for...

    New Air Con controls

    Hi all, a friend and I have ordered S4 Avants, due for delivery end of Feb/Beginning of March. We've recently discovered that Audi have changed their Air Conditioning control unit on all models of the A4 and it looks, well, crap. I've uploaded a photo to indicate what I mean, but basically the...

    B9 RS4 vs The Rest...and the S

    I don't think I even had a backend by the end of it; I'd just melted into my car seat and became one with the car.
