Hi Have a look here: http://www.vagpro.co.uk/fault-library/#A4-Fault-Library Might be of some use Regards

Haha it does go well More of a refined tourer than a sports car, but it can move when it need too. Only downside is 15mpg if you drive enthusiastically!

Thank you, appreciate it The sound is so nice. I kept the original back boxes so it looks original, but had to have a bit more V8 growl!

My old bruiser S4 V8 - Only mods are the wheels and a sports exhaust to release that lovely V8 growl

I would guess that this is a bumper off job to gain access to it. A few years ago i took the bumper off on mine, which was time consuming but a DIY job I followed a tutorial on Youtube (do a google search) but i know you will have to buy some long Torx screwdrivers if you don't have them already. You may actually be able just to slide it forward enough to gain access and not take it off completely. Also be careful lining it back up if you do have to remove it. I used lots of masking tape and marked the panel gaps to make sure it aligned correctly. Hope that gives some assistance.

just an update regulator was knackered and in bits got one from Ebay and fitted it today and all working again. Luckily ebay one was in good condition hope it lasts!

I would imagine if you wanted the car to remain original then it might be worth seeing if it can be repaired/replaced but i’m sure it won’t be cheap. The one i had was a rough example so that’s why i personally wasn’t worried about originality and went down the aftermarket route. lots of kits available luckily

Hi, I had this on my old RS4 Avant a few years back and i went down the Coilover route. I fitted a Bilstein kit that i got from Awesome GTI and then had them fitted by a local garage. I will look up my old paperwork and see if i can find the model of the kit for you Even with adjusting them i did find them harder day to day than the original DRC. I can highly recommend W Andrews Autos in Old Welwyn, Herts (he's in the village). Wayne is a good mechanic and he has looked after my 06 S4 with the V8 for years. Regards

yes very possible I've just been watching the Total Technik video on door card removal and window repair so i'm going to have a go myself. Just need to order some trim clips as i am an expert at breaking those!

Afternoon, I put the drivers side main window down this morning and it won't come back up. The switch still seems to operate all of the other windows in the car, apart from the drivers side The electric mirrors and door lock controls all still work. The drivers window will from time to time move a bit when you activate the switch, but i can't get it to come all the way up I also cannot hear the 'click' when i pull up the switch for that window. I will take the switch out later and clean the electrical contacts, but any other advice appreciated. Many thanks

I also thought about doing this but haven't taken the plunge yet! Anyway all of the parts and the tools seemed to be available through Autodoc. However there is discussion on other forums which recommend only using an OEM timing chain kit which you can get from the Main Dealer. Up to Xmas these were on back order but i don't know now. As for the tooling if you keep an eye on Autodoc they often have discount codes, so may be worth buying with one of those. Again expect couple of weeks delivery time

Hi When i first got mine, I also had some wind noise. It always seemed to come from behind me. It was a fiddly job but i solved it by sourcing some second hand window seals for the rear windows and changing them. I have to admit it was a tricky job and took me ages and does involve manually opening the roof and soft top compartment to get access

Yes they are excellent I have seen that they do a video detailing the complete engine out but i'm not brave enough or have the space to do that myself. I have spoken to a couple of other specialists and just waiting for some quotes. I could leave it but it's annoying me now!

Hi Steve, Thanks for the message I tried both of them and neither were willing to take it on but they have given me some others to try. Cheers

Afternoon, I am struggling to find a professional to do a timing chain replacement for me and solve an oil leak. I have contacted a lot of places (inc Audi specialists) and they won't take it on. I would be very grateful if someone could recommend someone from the job (ideally in the Leicestershire area) Many thanks
