Hah - My waterpump failed while I was taking the S4 to have the gearbox looked over. They have just fitted a new gear DSG gearbox, to cure the problem (pullaway very jerky when in stop-start traffic for a long time), and I was also informed they changed the thermostat. Starting to regret...

Your on an Audi forum, so most people are gonna prefer Audi! I have an S4 and a 3 series (330D). I prefer the BMW for 11 months and 3 weeks, then prefer the Audi when it snows..............

My tickover is lumpy, but problem is more that after sitting in stop start traffic for around 1/2 hour, when pulling away, the car jumps about as if I had poor clutch control, or it was about to stall, but since mine is DSG............

I had a vibration issue once with a BMW 5 series - started at 70mph. I had the tyres balanced a different places, all the usual suspects, and at BMW - all made no difference. Finally after doing some research on the web, I discovered that not all balancing machines are created equal, and there...

Yesterday, the engine coolant warning came on, and required 1.5 litres to fill back to max. So, driving to Audi this morning for a pre-arranged visit to look at a different issue (problems when sitting in traffic for some time), the engine coolant warning comes on again (around 2 miles) I...

Hi All, Lost my car manual, and my door sticker only shows the pressures for the 245/40/18 wheels, so this is why I'm asking such a numpty question. Could someone please let me know what the correct tyre pressures should be for the RS4 style wheel with 255/35/19 tyres. I bought these off...

anyone here got a rattly electric rear sunblind which rattles when it is in the down position?

Interestingly, I currently have n S4 with sports diff, and a BMW 3 series (E90) 330D. We sold the A3 (8P) when I bought the S4. Both are good cars, however, ultimatly, I prefer the BMW. Reason being, when I drive the S4 fast, I do feel removed from the action. Steering feel is poor...

Yeah, I've noticed the first start takes longer, but as everything is cold, I don't think it's something to worry about.

thanks for having a go Phil.

It's stamped on the back of the wheel - below is a picture:

Anyone out there with 19" wheels on an S4, can you confirm what the exact wheel size and offset is which is supplied by the factory? Thanks

personally, I think it'll be hard to hit audi's mpg figures, as I think they test on a rolling road, so there are no factors such as wind, or traffic! If I can get 250 miles out of a tank, then I am happy. So far, have managed 240, which was around 20mpg. Only just 1000 miles in my S4 too.

1st tank - 17.7mpg 2nd tank - 20.1mpg Probably 60% A road, 40% motorway, and a few WOT on the second tank, to see what it could do.

Really nice car - agree with you regarding the colour, it's much nicer in the flesh. just don't scare yourself now by going to "webuyanycar" to see what it's worth..............don't do it - really!!! :sadlike:

I can't imagine an auto-dipping mirror would invalidate warranty, but you never know I guess. Of the changes made so far, the oil temp is the most useful. Takes longer to warm up than you might think - a good 5-10 minutes after the coolant has come up to temperature.

For vagcom, it's pretty simple, just connect it, and select the appropriate control module, then change the correct "bit". The software guides you through it. The hard part is getting hold of the cable to make the changes. It's expensive to buy - around 300 pounds if I remember correctly. I...

Dipping mirror works fine.

There are all kinds of settings in the hidden menu, but I'm too scared to change them!! As for the oil temp, and dipping mirror, you just need a vagcom cable (which I happen to have) and the settings are on different forums - I found them on Audizine. Will test out the mirror dipping this...

Fine so far, only really driven it back from the dealer - about 60 miles. Sat in it, and made vagcom changes - LED's stay on with indicators, emergency flashing brake lights, lap timer and oil temp, hidden menu enabled. Will probably see if I can get the passenger mirror dipping when reversing...
