So I already have H&R lowering springs on it right now but I stuck between putting it on air suspension or coil overs. Im also stuck between getting chrome or black wheels (I’m leaning towards black because of less maintenance) but which should I go with and suspension wise what’s the best brands to look into🙏
I recently drove a 2024 Audi S4 with the sport package because I was pretty sure on paper that’s what I wanted. After driving the car I was kind of unimpressed.
Pros:
-It was fast
-Extremely nice interior
-Looks beautiful
Cons:
-Turbo lag (even in sport felt like it was torque converter down shifting seconds after pressing the throttle)
-Steering feel was nonexistent, supposedly it tightens up when going faster but I didn’t really notice it. It would be nice if the steering feel was just consistently heavy
-exhaust sound left a lot to be desired
-almost too fast to have fun with on normal roads, I couldn’t wring the car out on twisty roads without getting in serious trouble.
For a sports sedan especially with the sport diff and suspension I thought it was going to be a lot more sporty but it just felt like a faster A4.
Not really sure what cars to check out now possibly the S3?
Hi all! Got code P2006 and looking for any advice on fixing this.
I recently had a shop do some work which involved removing the SC and I suspect it has something to do with that.
Couple questions:
-should I test/check vacuum lines first?
-do I need the vcds diagnostic tool to fix this or can I get away without it?
-I have the basic tools but any specialty ones you'd recommend?
Has anyone in the uk had there timing chain replaced recently, specifically on the 3.0t v6, if so what did you pay and from what garage. I have just been quoted 5.5k to have it done… I genuinely don’t mind driving it anywhere in the country to get a good price, cheers.
Just a legal stage 1 and intake from 034? If i upgrade my heat exchanger will that passed? Sigh cali sucks

Alright guys, hear me out. I picked up a set of curb-rashed OEM 2022 A5 Sportback cutters for very cheap off Craigslist. I’m going to throw some snow tires on them and use them as a dedicated winter set.
I have no intention of getting them refinished back to the original diamond-turned finish because they’ll only be on the car for a few months a year, and I can’t justify the price I was quoted for a complete refinish.
To emphasize, I bought these because they’re genuine Audi wheels, the price was right, and they’re only going to serve as functional winter wheels, with cosmetics being an afterthought.
With that said, do you think refinishing only the curb-rashed perimeters of the wheels in black could work? The first picture is the worst curb rash of the set; the second and third are (poorly) AI-generated just to give an idea of what they might look like.
Again, these are beater winter wheels that I picked up cheap. I’m not spending over $2k to refinish them, but I’m entertaining the idea of redoing just the perimeters in black myself as a side project before winter.
Paint them black, or just ride the rash?

2012 Audi s4
I've got a coolant leak from my oil cooler (no oil/coolant mixing, whew) and am planning on doing the replacement at home (have a lift) but was curious if there are others on here who have done this replacement and if there are tips/tricks to R&R it without taking off the subframe for access to the top two bolts and back right bolt.
Thanks in advance!
I recently bought an Audi (not s4 but shares the same engine) with an EA837 engine, I am aware that the injectors are very noisy on these engines but I also seem to have a clacking sort of noise at idle which goes away with revs. To me it doesn’t sound like a timing chain, is this just a characteristic of the engine? Thanks!
Carbon buildup is inevitable and I’d like to check how bad it is so I can bundle it with other work that takes off the supercharger, but I don’t wanna remove the damn thing just to check. All the videos I found remove it.
But I just did a check without removing the supercharger. Only had to remove 4 torx screws and wiggle the boost pressure sensor out (circled red, 1st pic).
Stick a boroscope in there and you can see the top of the intake valve.
I parked my car into one of those parking with the cement block, I did not realise maybe I pulled in too much I didn’t feel it touching the bottom when I pulled in. But when I was getting out I heard the front number rip off, I thought maybe a small part might’ve ripped off, when I got out of the car to see what happened I almost cried! The whole bumper just came right out. Can I take it to a body shop to just re assemble the part? I feel like it just a fix maybe some plastic parts are broken everything else looks fine. Any small suggestion is appreciated.
I was doing some thinking. For the money, you could def get a newer car but for driving experience I would love that V8. Has anybody make the jump from an s4? To an S7 and how do you like it?
Hey guys, i wanna get some metal paddle shifter the replace the stock ones on my s4 B9 wagon, something like the second photo (similar to what a friend has on his golf R). I was wondering if anyone has bought some before that replace the old paddles and not just stick onto them.
Looking to get into a 2018-2020 s4, but reliability is what worries me. I’ve heard all the stories about the water pump and especially the rocker arms on the 2018s and can’t seem to get a straight answer on the reliability and that’s what’s holding me back.
Any advice or knowledge would be helpful, thanks.
It was a very warm day in the UK did about 25 miles on the M25 and 5 miles to get there from Home. Had it at 48.9mph at one point assuming the hot roads and some downward hills contributed to this but have never seen it so high in eco mode of course.
