I started getting the same sound at idle and a check engine light on my 2013 with 57k miles.

Is it safe to drive it to the shop, or should I call a tow truck?

I think it looks fine frameless. Maybe I don't know what's cool, though.

Thanks for the detailed write up, Hyper. I've got a couple more questions.

1. Is it ok to drive around in raised mode, like if there was a foot of snow on the ground. Will the car automatically...

It makes sense that the 20" would fit but it is not listed as compatible with the s6. I'm thinking it's probably just an over site. Also, the 20 only comes in the matte finish. It looks like he wants...

You will be left with screw holes if you remove the plate holder. I believe you will have to replace the entire grill if you want it to look perfect. There is no replacement filler panel for the C7....

Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32

It's still available on tire rack for your 20 inch wheels. I use it in 19 inch. I've been really pleased with them on both snowy and dry conditions.

But if you have a...

The long term computer reads a little over 20. Most of my driving is a 25 mile highway commute with light traffic in the morning and moderate to heavy traffic in the evening. My best one way commutes...

A turn signal has to be a certain size. The first light that blinks on the mustang is big enough to be considered the turn signal. The others are just gravy.

Most people in the S6 and A6 forums run 265/35/20 with a 20x9 inch rim. Stock is 255 on an 8.5 inch rim. You are adding half an inch in rim and .39 inches in tire width. Overall diameter will be...

This is where you are wrong. For all out acceleration, the transmission's job is to keep the engine at max power, not torque. The "right power to the wheels" is peak HP. I have an S6 which has a...

I went ahead and ordered the 19" matte rotors from Achtuning with some Blizzak LM-32's (255/40/19) from tire rack. The cheaper LM-60's I had my eye on sold out. I put a comment in to Achtuning about...

So D is always the same and D-S is always the same, with respect to both throttle response and transmission behavior, regardless of what is selected in MMI?
