As a matter of fact, I rinsed some crap off the car a week or two prior, and promptly put in the garage without a quick drive first. It then sat there for a week or two—so it's very likely I did this...

Yes, I suspect some build up. The dealer said that what I described is quite common. They looked at the vehicle (and will test drive it), but sounded like nothing to worry about. Appreciate your...

Bang/Crash Noise When Reversing

Just tried to back my 2021 S4 out of the garage. I checked to make sure the parking brake was released, put the car in reverse, and lifted my foot off the brake, but it didn’t idle backward. That was...

Thanks Rick. It's on the sticker. I'm looking into it. I just want the fix to be spot-on. Do you happen to know if Audi dealers do this -- and do it well (compared to a more precise detailer)? Since...

Great question. They've ditched the Haldex all-wheel drive system for a new RS Torque Splitter.

I'm not sure whether it's factory installed or port installed, but I'm going to find out. Will report back on that. The car was originally spec'd with the spoiler (it's on the window sticker) -- not...

Tradeoffs. There are definitely performance advantages to the RS and I like the smaller package of the 3 in some ways. The styling is really nice inside and out, and the dash is more current (no more...

Wow. 3 dealers here in the NE said January. Maybe it's regional, or maybe the timeline changed in past 3 weeks. Good luck!

Congrats! Navarra is a great color. I don't have experience with the Audi exclusive painted inlays (love my carbon fiber though). If you end up ordering them, it would be great to see pics when you...

Spoiler Alert (Sloppy Spoiler Application)

New 21 S4 Prestige with Audi carbon fiber spoiler. Just noticed what looks like some adhesive that leaked out from under the spoiler after it was placed on the vehicle. It's a bit unsightly. Any...

It's normal for any water within the door to get carried up the inner seal after rolling the window down and back up. Mine creeps up the seal from within the door when the window is shut. So it's...

My fuel door isn't flush with the body panel. Also, my front passenger door window has an odd leak in which water gets behind the glass, in between the glass and the rubber window seal. When the car...

Thanks Brent! I assume your 4S AS are 19s? Curious how your 4S 4S's perform compared to the Bridgestones, particularly when it comes to steering feel. On first drive, the Bridgestones didn't feel as...

Yeah, tough call, especially since we're halfway to fall. Were your previous Pirelli all seasons the stock 18s? Or 19s?

Also, are your current Bridgestones 18s or 19s?

I'll take a look at mine and report back, as there have been a number of oddities on my new S4. Odd times. There should be felt on both.

Agree that you can put some store-bought felt on there for...

Good to know, thanks! I'm considering the PS 4S's for my stock 19s, although it seems a bit wasteful, unless I can get someone to take my S001's. I guess I won't know what I'm missing until I try the...

Thanks. I assume you mean the X-Ice XI3's (18-inch). Tough call for me. We get snow/ice here, but some seasons it's mild; whereas others, we get dumped on. Hard to predict year to year, even with a...

Ah, makes sense. I've had 19" summers and 18" winters for all my previous S4s, which to me felt like the best of both worlds. Unlike you, my first experiences in the S4 were on the 19s. I didn't mind...
