    My audi looks like it sits high

    Maybe the other car had more stuff in the boot

    Urgent help. Suspension lower on one side

    They come like this from factory, including my S4. Story I was told when I enquired is that it’s intentionally done to compensate for the weight of the driver..they just never got around to carrying out the opposite for our right hand drive cars.

    Black Badges

    ive left it as it for the moment until I make my mind up about changing to an RS style honeycomb grill. The front badge is an easy swap as it simply clips in. Lots of vids on YouTube on how to tackle it.

    Black Badges

    Hopefully you can see the attached pics. I don’t normally photograph my car so I don’t have many before pics, other than the one I took the day I changed the badges. I haven’t done the front grille yet as I’m considering swapping it for an RS style at some point.

    Black Badges

    I recently swapped all of my chrome badges for gloss black ones, it’s a bit stealthier as the S4 badges are hard to see in black and as you mentioned, it matches brilliantly with the black optic pack. I found all the badges i needed on eBay, all were around £8-9 each with free delivery and...

    Possible thermostat issue

    Thanks, it’s very strange! Definitely taking it to the dealers on Monday. Just hope no damage will be done to the engine when I do my return 110miles on Sunday.

    Possible thermostat issue

    Hey dudes, drove home today and noticed my car was running at roughly 78-80 degrees which is about 12 degrees lower than usual. When the radio was muted I could hear the cooling fans from inside the cabin. The drive was about 4 hours ~ 110 miles so car should have reached normal operating...

    I paid £223 for my first service at 18k miles which included the inspection service. Warranty retained and digital service record updated. Indies all the way! Dealer wanted £370 for an oil change alone.

    S4 3.0 TFSI

    Do you go on the track every other day? How is that even possible?! You’d have spent £2,000 on replacements by the time I’d done a set of hankooks

    S4 3.0 TFSI

    Weird, what engine do you have? Also lol at AUDI saying they are a budget tyre! Every review of them on the internet begs to differ

    S4 3.0 TFSI

    I have also noticed the same reference the exhaust, it was a bit of a non event when I first got the car and now it’s really starting to sound decent. The Hankooks are a great tyre, I’ve got 4 sat in the garage ready to go on when the current set get to 1.6mm.

    S4 3.0 TFSI

    Haha! I use the performance mostly on motorways and the back roads around Dorset,Wiltshire, Hampshire and Somerset. I’m not one for hooning it around town. It never comes out of dynamic mode either:innocent:

    S4 3.0 TFSI

    Thought I’d post my stats after leaving my trip on for 10k miles. Car is now on 18k and the factory fitted Hankook ventus S1 Evo’s still have 3mm all round. Anticipating at least 20k from them. Front pads are 30% worn and rears are 20%. How is everyone else getting on? I ran it exclusively...
