    2021 rde2 S4 engine changes

    I know that the point of an S4 isn't good fuel economy but thought I would share a long trip real world economy figure, A roads including some overtakes, through the centre of a town and then M1, M25 and M3 on a Sunday afternoon so plenty of traffic. Good figures for me this was how I could...

    Parking brake functionality seems to have gone backwards

    I came from an A3 and I definitely find the hill hold different in the s4. It seems that it only switches on automatically when parking if the car is at an angle otherwise it seems to prefer the gearbox. I do also find at junctions it doesn't allways hold as well and can find it what's to...

    New order…

    I work in IT and the articles ive seen suggest possibility of semiconductor production getting back to normal by Autumn, the onward supply chain backlog may take longer to catch up that is true but think Pork needed some positive thoughts to get back into love with his S4 order... I was...

    New order…

    Evening pork, I ordered an S4 Avant vorsprung last August, initially delivery was planned for December 4 months, ended up being 9 months pick up in June 2021. I got an order number early doors but didn't get a build week until mid December. It was a really long wait but what turned up was well...

    Not a great show for the new diesel S4!

    I was referring to this concept from 2014, where they suggested that an rs5 bitdi could have been the future, anyone recognise the drivetrain? https://www.autoevolution.com/news/audi-details-v6-tdi-with-electric-charger-in-rs5-concept-photo-gallery-82734.html So this has been in Audi's head...

    Not a great show for the new diesel S4!

    There are always different choices and I wouldn't buy a petrol S4 as I couldn't have lived with the economy, I didn't want a diesel but the mpg made it possible, to have good performance and a level of economy for when I have to do long motorway journeys. The S4 and all the TDI s cars are the...

    S4 2021MY sound actuator or not?

    Awesome news Dave! Really pleased for you and such a simple fix and good to know it's under the subwoofer too as expected. It does sound good in dynamic when you launch it at a junction, a few people have also got excited on start up of the doors are open from the burble it's a good speaker!

    S4 2021MY sound actuator or not?

    Sounds like good progress, at least there suggesting they will take some action, my mib3 seems to be on similar software versions but could be all sort of updates they could push be interesting to see what they do, I think they have a process of plugging the car in and getting coding updates and...

    S4 2021MY sound actuator or not?

    I've been using individual a lot and it holds the exhaust noise setting, all of these systems communicate over can from what I've read so it could be as simple as the can setting to communicate isn't set, if the dealer records show you should only have the internal one then I think the way it...

    S4 2021MY sound actuator or not?

    Ive had a few more looks today following Dave's question about the speaker and found the following diagram and control units, looks like the S4 at least has two active sound systems the Soundaktor and a sound generator. The first is the one we were expecting to see and is common across all...

    A4/S4 memory seat function retrofit

    Not sure if the below will help but on my21 S4 I've got the following module and coding for memory seats. I've pasted door electric as well as I once retrofitted some folding mirrors to a golf and memory mirror function was also door controller related on that platform and you had to have the...

    S4 2021MY sound actuator or not?

    That's great, so your vin showed the two part numbers and that they were fitted as there physically in place, so it's purely coding, but could be multiple systems, soundaktor being one but maybe can gateway to tell everything else you've got one. Can you see the option in drive select...

    S4 2021MY sound actuator or not?

    Exactly the same had to have my head under it to find it, could feel the air moving off it on pronounced, as you say directly under 48v battery so hope Dave has one in place as that would be a pita to retro fit although I expect that will be his dealers job!

    S4 2021MY sound actuator or not?

    I've found the speaker, I might have some carbon monoxide poisoning having shoved my head under the rear of the car with the engine running..... But it's in the base of the rear wheel well which makes it very hard to spot! Hoping you've got one of those Dave then it should be really simple for...

    S4 2021MY sound actuator or not?

    If they had integrated it you'd assume the pricer cars would have a similar setup. I can't really tell from this post if they are suggesting they took the left hand back box to pieces and that speaker was inside, if so there should still be some sort of wire attaching which I can't see, but...
