    Car got broken into last night and nearly stolen. Size of the steering wheel on 2012 S4 Avant?

    I believe that when deadlocked only the fob will unlock the doors. The buttons etc inside shouldn't work.

    Car got broken into last night and nearly stolen. Size of the steering wheel on 2012 S4 Avant?

    Here's a webpage I used in the past https://fuse-box.info/audi/audi-a4-s4-b8-8k-2008-2016-fuses Passenger side, brown panel, fuse slot 11 (terminal 30 diagnostic connector) 10A.

    Car got broken into last night and nearly stolen. Size of the steering wheel on 2012 S4 Avant?

    The fuse I remove is in the fuse panel on the side of the dash that the passenger door blocks. It's the middle row, second from the top if memory serves. I need to put mine back in to reset the service warning with my scan tool, so I will take a photo. I lock using only one press of the fob so...

    2.0 TFSI Known Oil Consumption problem - 2015 ongoing thread (2009-2011 models)

    I'm not sure about in America, but certainly in the UK I avoid main dealers like the plague. A good reputable independent specialist for the win.

    2.0 TFSI Known Oil Consumption problem - 2015 ongoing thread (2009-2011 models)

    I have to add anywhere up to a litre at a time with mine and it's the 3.0 supercharged engine. The weird thing is that it can be totally random when it needs it and I've got no fault codes coming up. Sometimes I have to top up a few times a month, other times it can go months without a top up...

    B8.5 S4 Avant - Water leak in boot

    Just came across a post in another forum where it was mentioned that the rear wiper motor can leak into the boot.

    B8.5 S4 Avant - Water leak in boot

    Would it be possible to create a ring of kitchen roll around the top of the boot well and then jet wash the car, so as to see if it's running down into the well from somewhere? If the kitchen roll is dry then presumably it would be coming from within the well itself so it would then just be a...

    Help Please Fuel related fault codes

    That second code could be a failing purge valve and I wonder if that could be consequently causing the lean condition and the first code. Could be worth getting an Audi specific scan tool on it.

    S4 MAP sensors

    Has anyone removed the MAP sensor in the throttle valve area on the CREC engine? It looks considerably more difficult to access on the CREC than it does on the CAKA videos which I have seen. Also, and again unlike the CAKA, I'm presuming the supercharged has to come off to get access to the...

    Rear pad replacement help please ??

    Slide pins would be the first place I'd look at if the brakes are overheating. Also, does the All Road B8.5 have torque vectoring via the brake system like the S4 B8.5? If so, then I find the rears can get quite hot, even without using them much because the car is automatically using them.

    It should be noted in the service history. Mine was.

    Help Please Rattling sound when at drive

    Finally got around to the rattle and it was a heat shield very high up. That's every single one now I've had to fix due to corrosion, presumably the steel fixings and aluminium heat shield (why they still do this I don't know). Unfortunately, access was a pig and we found an even harder to...

    2013 B8.5 S4 oil consumption issues

    I didn't think they were serviceable and had to be replaced? Could be wrong, but if it were me I would replace. I think there are coolant pipes integrated into it (insane?) and these can leak and contaminate the oil; I'm sure I've seen a video showing this. I also think the B8.5 one operates...

    2013 B8.5 S4 oil consumption issues

    That's worrying, this is what's making me hesitant to change mine. Can the old PCV valve be physically checked on the bench somehow? I wonder what else your could be - how are your fuel trims? I would have thought checking the intake manifold pressure could be a good indication of a failing...

    Rear Bumper Damage, Help??

    And five long years to no longer be recognised. It's ridiculous, but they seem to be able to make up any rules they want.

    Rear Bumper Damage, Help??

    A couple of small, non fault claims still went against me with my insurance premium, although not by a particularly huge amount. I think around £40 odd. Where it has caused a problem is with trying to get insurance for mods.

    Gearbox / rear diff oil change intervals ??

    Can't really think of anything else other than what you've mentioned. I wouldn't be overly concerned though

    Gearbox / rear diff oil change intervals ??

    I was thinking more if the car had been driven or not prior to checking, or if it's supposed to be warm when checking etc? Kind of like how the DSG fluid should be 40°C for the final fill, although I'm not sure if that's specially for the temp and more about the fluid getting around the clutches...

    Could fluid temperature be causing the discrepancy?

    2013 B8.5 S4 oil consumption issues

    Cheers, I'm guessing you got the pcv valve replaced? At the moment I'm not fully convinced with regard to mine as I'm reading different things from a variety of sources with some saying that it's normal to have as little suction with these engines. I have some suction, when I remove the cap...
