    Where do I find instructions for a job

    I had a quick question, where do I find step by step instructions on how to do something on my car. For example dropping the transmission, and putting it back in. And changing the crank seal.

    S4 Auto or Manual?

    Hi folks, I'm currently in an 8P S3 (manual) with a stage 1 map but being a 2008 car the time is coming to move to something a little newer plus it never sounded good even with a sports exhaust (inline 4 pots I guess) I like anonymous looking cars with plenty of poke so an S4 with the smaller...

    Hi everyone, As a serial BMW driver and hopefully soon to-be S4 owner, I thought it was time I made an appearance here. I’m looking to get a B8 S4 Avant manual, although the S5 V8 is still tempting... I’ve read loads of S4 threads here, on Pistonheads and elsewhere, but most of these seem to...

    First gear issues [manual]

    I have a 2016 1.4 manual. Occasionally, I’m finding first gear is hard to engage. I feel it’s mostly when the car is cold(er). But it has certainly happened when everything is warm too. It just feels like I need to push extra hard to engage the gear. I had thought of taking it to the dealer...

    Cruise control not working on every startup?

    I'm trying to diagnose a cruise control problem on a '07 A3 manual. The cruise control only works on about 1/3 startups and there are no fault codes so I think that eliminates clutch/brake switch. I had VCDS plugged in while on a test drive and when it doesn't work the control module still...
