I'll try sticking my face in the smoke next time

I am not getting full boost anyway, so need to boost test.

Leaky injector meaning the internals have gone faulty, sticking open a bit or a lit, hosing fuel into it. It's a pretty amazing smell, really burns the eyes, so if you don't mention that then it could well be something else.

A boost leak is unlikely to cause this.

Sounds like a leaky injector, so unburnt fuel coming out the exhaust, does it burn the eyes?

Got all new seals on injectors recently, but I will get my dad to send me boost test thing we made up and see what's what.

I wouldn't say it burns eyes but it does have a specific smell to it, it's not just vapour.

Think that's mad, and you should be getting more than 15 in an S4, well in my mind anyways... suspect there is something up with it.

I think there is something very wrong, 15mpg around town and 25 mpg on recent 200mile run. There are no codes, car pulls nicely. It does seem to be running on oil, had half-level and after 200 miles it was on minimum, so half a liter of oil in 200 miles. Valve stem seals could be at fault, but can't see any blue smoke coming from the back. Also i have noticed after a drive ( when engine's upto temp) when i park up there is smoke/vapour coming out of exhaust and it smells quite badly too.

Been thinking of SORN-ing my S4 and get a diesel run around as i only do city driving mostly (getting 15mpg on S4), but they are asking £1800 for insurance on octavia/golf/focus which is just outrageous tbh. I am paying less for my S4 at the moment. Any suggestions?

I have a spare S4 cluster, think the fuel gauge face is flaking.

Are you going to ADI? I can bring it with me if you want to have a look.

Not going to ADI this year unfortunately. But I don't want to pay for whole cluster when I only need the faces

I assume it was these metal frames

This is it. I managed to fit boot light without the frame, but at the front the headliner is just too flimsy, even with the metal frame it just won't stick in there. So now I don't have interior lighting or sunroof switch

I feel like removing the headliner and use some fibre glass and reinforce it in places.

Can you post some pics of this problem? I can't quite grasp what this metal frame is you're struggling with?

Won't fit, unfortunately. This one has digital milometer while 100 S4 has mechanical. Also mine has oil pressure not battery Thanks anyways

Thanks buddy! I would prefer pre-selector system over normal electric drive one, but depends on cost I guess.

I am taking the headliner out again (messed up when retrimming), i could just fiber glass a frame into the headliner straight away.

Last night i came across a binnacle for a S6 that Will at VRS northampton has on ebay.
Might be of help. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A6-S6...item5b0615c4b3

Does anyone know where can I get a set of new white gauges? Mine are peeling off and it annoys me very much, can't seem to find any on ebay or ebay de, maybe I just use wrong search term

[hunker7]

The sunroof motor has the relay attached to it.
The sunroof system itself only gets + and -, everything else is handled by the switch + motor (which contains the timing gears etc)

I dont know how to deal with that metal problem, I have them same issue. If I cannot solder a tab to it I will have to make a replacement.
