S4 advice

[AudiBilly]

Hello to all,

I’m new to forum but not new to Audi’s.

i have a 140BHP TdI A4 Avant with the M tronic gearbox, I had it tuned to 190BHP approx. It’s ok and fairly economical.

id now like to buy one a bit more spicy, don’t think I can justify or afford the RS4 and have seen the possibilities of the S4 after tuning, (Chris Harris on YouTube), so I’m tempted for one of those.

i like the B8 and it fits my budget, around £12 to 15k ish.

when I look at S4’s for sale on Autotrader I see some with ‘select drive’ button, I guess that’s the same feature as the RS4 dynamic etc, but must have been an optional extra, right?

when I see a round gear knob (S4 on top) I’m sure it’s the S tronic gearbox (Audi’s version of the DSG) but I’ve also seen a few labelled ‘S Tronic’ that have a gear knob same as my TDI, I definitely wouldn’t want another M tronic especially with 400 BHP.

can anyone clarify please? I want S Tronic and Select drive, and as many other extras possible, as ya do...

thanks in advance for any pointers, also if there are any do’s and don’t on this model.

Billy
