    Buzzing Noise

    After a spell in the wilderness I’m back with an S4… however this one has an annoying buzzing noise about it which I will try and describe. It’s a hum/ buzz noise. A little bit like when you put your mobile phone close to a speaker and you can hear it do it’s periodic handshake with the...

    Am I crazy?

    Almost exactly a year ago I traded in my 2017 S4 avant for a bmw 128ti. Christ knows why I didn’t just buy my S4 out of the pcp, especially seeing what’s happened to used car prices since, but I thought I’d go for a smaller but still fun car. Economically it made sense. I should have known when...

    Golf R

    I'm now just over two years into ownership of the S4 and I'm starting to get itchy feet. But I'm torn about what to do. Important to say the S4 has been a great car, couple of issues sorted under warranty as you might reasonably expect. This car, and the previous S4 avant were bought when our...

    Windscreen Replacement

    So not long after having to replace a windscreen on my golf now the S4 will have to get one. Does anyone know if Autoglass will recalibrate the pre-sense camera if they replace the screen at my house or will I have to take it somewhere else to get that done?

    ACF Connecting Pipe?

    I had an email from the dealer to say that there are three outstanding campaigns on the car, One to correct the service interval... One to replace trim at the rear window. and One to replace the ACF connecting pipe if required. What is the ACF connecting pipe?

    Outside Temperature Display

    I've noticed something strange recently, seems to happen on relatively warm days, basically when I start the car the outside temperature is reading very low, like -5 or zero then it will gradually climb up to the real temperature over a couple of minutes driving. Anyone else noticed this?

    S / Tip tronic 'P' button

    So I've been religiously pressing the P button, then handbrake on then engine off as I did with my b8.5. At the weekend I commented to the wife that I didn't like the p button and preferred the mechanical throw of putting it in park like the last car. To which she replied that she never pressed...

    Audi Connect

    I'm probably being really stupid, but I can't for life of me get my audi connect app paired up with the car. I've entered the pin online on the audi portal and agreed to all the terms and conditions and should be at the stage where I go to the car and punch in my email address and the code...

    I might be being thick, but how do you monitor the coolant level?

    New S4

    Looks like I've bought a dealer stock S4 avant. Wasn't expecting to change for a good few months but the dealer phoned me up out of the blue offering me a straight swap with my 2 year old b8.5 with the same monthlies. Though the car is not as I would spec it I decided to go for it as I'll...

    S4 Owners

    I wasn't planning on changing my car for about another year, but the dealers phoned me today about a stock S4 Avant they have and what sounds like a pretty good deal. Hand back my ~ 2 year old S4 BE and keep the same monthly payments. However, the car is pretty much stock - only option is...

    Anyone else have this slightly acrid smell (outside) when they get out of their S4?

    S4 Servicing Costs

    Just wondering what servicing costs people are getting. Just been quoted £199 for the first oil change which I think is pretty reasonable.

    Wheel Bearing Already? Or those ****** conti's...

    So I have a late 2014 S4 with 9k miles on the clock and its developed a bit of a drone which is really apparent at ~45 mph to 70 mph. If the age and mileage wasn't so low I would be suspecting wheel bearings though the noise doesn't change with cornering. Or has anyone else had experience with...

    ContiSport 3's

    So my car came with 19" conti sport 3's fitted on it when I took delivery last October. At the end of October I switched over to 18" winter tyres (also continental) and all was well. Couple of weeks ago I switched back to the summer wheels and they are what I can only describe as frightening...

    Stop / Start PITA

    Generally I don't find the stop start to intrusive and rarely take to disabling it completely but there is one really annoying characteristic of it that I wonder if the settings can be changed. Basically when I come to a stop and change to go into reverse say when backing into a parking space...

    Aux Heating on S4

    I know the oil burners have an electric heater built into the HVAC system to compensate for long warm up times but does anyone know if they've fitted this system to the S4? Mine warms up really fast, which was handy the other day when it was -1 for de-icing the windows...

    A5 Wheels On S4

    Hello, I'm looking for some winter wheelage for my yet to arrive S4 and have come across a set of reasonably priced A5 18" wheels with the 'new' bore size (66.1mm?). Only thing I'm not sure about is the seller thinks they are ET35. Any idea if these will fit an A4 / S4?

    335d xdrive touring

    OK so this probably isn't going to be the most balanced set of opinions but I'd welcome them none the less. I've been gearing up to placing an order for a S4 BE Avant and then thought its a bit stupid not exploring other options before commiting to that sort of spend. So I've ended up booked...
