Picked up my S4 Avant today, thankfully no problems at the collection and local Audi garage looked after me well. Very pleased with the car so far, I'll post a quick recap of spec and some initial thoughts after the all important first photographs.
Gorgeous picture...Found the tool kit!
Also I think I found out what was making the clunk noise when hitting a bump, the locking wheel nut was in the tray the wrong way round and was loose. I turned it the correct way round and it is snug as a bug in a rug!
Also, found that the active lane assist was set to "late", so changed it to "early" and the lane assist now kicks in just when you would expect it, and works much harder to keep you in the middle of the lane!

@gbrown hi Geoff
Difficult to tell from the photos, but does your car have chrome strips on the door handles? If so any chance of a close up picture please? No rush just when you get a chance.
Cheers

Are you getting the car detailed Geoff?
Are you getting the car detailed Geoff? Any recommendations in London? My dealer has offered me a pretty good deal, but I'd imagine its better done by experts.
nice Geoff. with the fine nappa seat, i noticed that you have the extended upholstery package for the door handle and centre console trim, is that manmade leather or fine nappa? Love the stitching, i'm itching to tick the box before the car is submitted to production in week 7.
Audi show a very clever reversible and foldable mat in the manual but the dealer tells me it is not available in the UK and it was not an option on the S4, only the A4. Perhaps I can bribe someone to order it with their A4 and sell it to me? I wonder if it will fit or if there is some small difference to explain its not being on the order form?
What would actually be different about the boot in an S4, though? It doesn't make much sense what the dealer is saying. Is it not available as an accessory or spare part?

I've just got around to checking the tyre pressures to see what they dealers had set them to, and they were surprisingly low, below the recommended range for 19" wheels on every tyre.
Front: 36.5/35.5 psi
Rear: 34.5/33.5 psi
That's not going to help wear or economy, so I pumped them all up to 43 psi.
If I'm going on a long drive with family and luggage I will probably put a few more psi in to put them at the max recommended.
Normally I might have them a little lower for comfort, but with the adaptive suspension I should be OK.
What are you guys using on the 19"s?
Geoff
Hmm! Better go and check mine now then!
