You could apply all the same reasons and arguments to the latest crop of S6, S7, RS7, RS5, etc, etc, etc but that hasn't delivered any of them to our shores with a manual.

Probably not on the S4. They already don't offer it on the B8.5 S4 in Europe. The US and Canada got it because it's carryover from the B8. They likely won't spend the money on the B9 to develop...

Sorry about the car. Glad you and the wire are okay. Aren't those the summer tires though?

On the thread topic, I have Estoril Blue on my 2013 and it seems fine from a durability standpoint. I...

My experience has been similar. I handwash myself, but can't say I've noticed a propensity to scratch easily.

I run Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4s in 235/45/18. I run them 33/30 due to the 98XL load rating.

Those aren't even the right pressures for the summer tires...

I run my winter tires at 33/30 because that's the proper pressure for 98 XL rated tires for the axel weights of the S4.

It probably can be duplicated. You'd need to figure out what type of protection it has and then take the appropriate steps to bypass them. Sat nav discs don't seem to have caught the interested of...

I'm a little confused. You have an analog coolant temp gauge. The oil temp is digital in the DIS. My oil temp is usually higher that that. ~100c if I've been pushing it a bit.
