    TMU's Glacier White B8.5 S4 - MRC Stage 2

    Thanks, buddy. And same to you. I am sure RS would be more fun than the S5.

    TMU's Glacier White B8.5 S4 - MRC Stage 2

    I know it is not the right forum, and I will create a thread in a few days in the relevant chassis but S4’s replacement came a month earlier than the day it was sold. I was torn between RS6 and SQ7 - it was dream car vs practicality and eventually the latter won. I had been looking for one...

    TMU's Glacier White B8.5 S4 - MRC Stage 2

    And the S4 is gone to someone I know is going to look after her more than I did. And the fact it will be maintained by and live close to @bobby singh, gives me the peace of mind that she will live a long and healthy life too [emoji3][emoji3] - thanks once again Bobby

    TMU's Glacier White B8.5 S4 - MRC Stage 2

    Not much happening other than the fact that it is finally happening. S4 ready to go and has been listed only on AutoTraders, priced a bit high to (hopefully) avoid the joyriders, would be willing to negotiate for the right buyer. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202310082791003

    Goosey built S4

    I am with AIB Insurance and have been with them for the last 6 years without any issues. This year, Safely Insured and A-Plan came up with exactly the same quote as AIB hence why I decided to stay put. The quote stayed the same for me regardless of if I was keeping the car in the garage or on...

    LED Front Fogs B8.5

    I can’t see the option there either, so it might be they he has merged them under a different category. Try dropping @t8ups a line here or give him a buzz on the number under contact us. He is very helpful and usually very quick to reply.

    Sportier "Drive" Throttle Response?

    Like @Dippy has mentioned, even if you enable it via VCDS there isn’t much you are going to get from “D”. An alternative, which you might not like is to get it remapped. Just a “simple” stage 1 would help improve throttle response without having to engage the S.

    IMHO, it is worth an upgrade on a white car. I bought it off a guy on S4 Facebook group, however you can also get them off Aliexpress for half the price of what I paid. Link below to a supplier a mate has recommended. He himself bought from a supplier named Kibowear (again AliExpress). US...

    :yes: I’d say go for it mate. The only reason why I did not go full black was because every other car had them black and I wanted a bit of change :blahblah1:. Also, they look different depending on what kind of light hits them / angle with which the picture is taken. I was a bit apprehensive...

    Post pics of your B8 A4/S4...

    After much consideration between sticking with the stock setup or exploring a new look, I ultimately chose to go for something different. I had the wheels coated in a sleek dark anthracite with a glossy finish, and I'm pleased with the change, or at least I believe I am! Also replaced PS4s to...

    2.0 Tdi 143 shaking on accleration

    Do you get it only at 60mph and above or it is there on slow speeds as well. I had this on Mrs’ A3 but then car would shake only when moving from standstill or turning left. It turned out to be bad CV joint. From what you mention it appears to be either engine or transmission mounts, control...

    Calling all B8/8.5 S4 owners.. show us ya brakes!

    Good choice @g00se. Macans definitely provide better braking. You might feel the paddle a bit spongy as it travels a bit further compared to the stock setup but it will get better once the disks have bedded in. When I was doing the upgrade I did consider ZeroSixty but then went with StopTech...

    Failed remapping

    All the best and for the money involved to get the extra 50ps, I don’t think it is worth it [emoji12]. These numbers can be all subjective depending on the dyno used, the conditions on the day and different variables set by the tuner / dyno tech. I have ran 405ps, 445ps, 475ps, 491ps and 530ps...

    Failed remapping

    Like others have said, there is no way a ‘stock’ S4 would be running 435ps. I would call a few mappers around as some do lock ECUs for any further ‘writes’. MRC is one such example, they lock the ECU after the remap and IIRC I am sure Rick (Unicorn) won’t be able to access it as he did come...
