Any B9 S4 owners on PH yet?

[Ved]

Afternoon all,
I placed an order for an S4 saloon on Friday and I'd like to know if any other owners are on PH. I won't get mine until May so let me know how you're getting along with it.

My spec is:

• Mythos black Daytona grey paint
• Red nappa interior
• Carbon inlays
• Black styling pack
• Light+vision pack
• Adaptive suspension
• Flat bottom wheel
• Roll-up blinds
• Electric folding mirrors+memory+auto dimming
• B&O 3D sound system
• Quattro differential
• Red callipers
• 19" V-spoke wheels
• Memory seats
• Acoustic glass+privacy glass
• Traffic recognition
• Hill assist

Should be a fun car to own coming from a 2003 Forester XT (although it'll gut me to part with it).

Changed it to Daytona Grey and removed the black pack. Week 15 build so should see it in 6 or 7 weeks.

Daytona Grey's fine - good colour for hiding dirt.

I'd have kept the black pack - looks great on S/RS Audis IMO.

Had I kept it black then I'd agree as it's nice on dark cars but I didn't like the contrast. I've got tinted windows so there are silver, grey and black on the car and I quite like it. It reminded me of a 1.8 TDI too much but I think I'll be happy either way. I've had too many black cars so something with a bit of pop is nice.

Daytona is nice BUT once even slightly dirty just looks like any other boring Audi.

I've had two

Sepang or black FTW

Mmm stealth muck

The car is finally at the port waiting to come to the UK. Not a bad turnaround I suppose and only another 3 weeks until I can collect it.

My boat docked this evening so hopefully not too long before I can collect it 👍🏼

I'm using this to track it https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9065417

Collecting next Thursday

Just off to sign the paperwork!

In case it's of interest Milltek appear to have finished their S4/S5 exhaust. Not sure I like it. Seems a bit too gruff and shouty.

Getting my money back this Tuesday :P

Good luck with yours, guys, I highly doubt you'll get the same issue I had. If anyone sees KW17KFG for sale (it will be) just make sure you ask the questions of the dealer.

Yes I saw your problem on Audi sport form, praying I don't get that on mine!!

What are you replacing it with?

Really not sure yet but it won't be a new car nor an Audi.

Looking through the thread I can see you talking about a collection date but I can't see anything about experiencing problems subsequent to taking delivery; reading between the lines I'm guessing you've rejected the car for some reason so what was the problem? Disappointed for you as you started this thread and were obviously very much looking forward to getting the car....

Yes it was a bit of a pisser to say the least.

Just finished watching David's Steering Saga on youtube.
What was the fix in the end?
Also - you went past the end of our road in the A3!

Small world! The end of it is it's back up for sale for £39k at Audi (591 miles on the clock) and they're not being clear with people how many owners it had and if it was private etc. A friend of mine called about it and they weren't too forthcoming with answers. They claim to have replaced the whole top of the steering column so I do hope it is fixed.

I've collected my replacement now; my old r32 that I owned between 2011 and 2013. Again, a very small world
