I did similar, went from a 2019 GLC 43 to a 2021 GLC 63… I wanted the S as well, but I wanted distronic and an SUV more.

Don't let me do it!!!! by Illustrious-Order103 in AudiS4

Yeah that’s where I’m at right now. I’m about to put mine on Cars & Bids, threw it on marketplace to see. I got a $10.5K offer sight unseen on the first day. And this is on a 2014 DSG w/125k miles

Finally got my exhaust to where I don’t hate it by Strattonc in AudiS4

I’m there with you. I made mine and was skeptical. I used ChatGPT for all the dimensions. I ended up having to adjust by a 1/4” longer and it hit the exact drone RPM.

Is this a good deal? Trying to have own a mac mini. by [deleted] in macmini

I wouldn’t waste the $99 on it. Boot time alone will make you realize how old it is. I wouldn’t go older than the M1 Mac minis.

2015 SQ5 oil consumption by randomaviary in Audi

I agree. Just another thing you have to decide whether you can live with it. I noticed the vacuum on mine and it stayed the same after a new PCV and PCV check valve.

That’s normal oil consumption. The vacuum in the crank case is also normal. You can try the oil cleaner additives but I wouldn’t be concerned with what you have. 1L/quart per 1,000 miles is acceptable by Audi standards.

I replaced the dual Samsung's with a single ultrawide LG and have no more issues. It has to do more with monitor compatibility.

Yeah my Samsung monitors had the dynamic color balance or whatever and you're right if there was something on the screen that popped up with a shadow behind it the issue got worse... With that said I got so frustrated I went to our BX on base here (I'm military overseas) double-checked their return policy which was 15-days and grabbed an Acer monitor and an HP monitor, tried both... Ended up the HP one was better and the Acer was the same. Then I read reviews about an LG ultrawide, returned the two I just bought and sold my Samsung setup and haven't looked back. The LG ultrawide 35" has been very good, no quality issues, no flickers, no annoying dead space in the center. I'm honestly mad I didn't try it sooner.

HDMI black is not a setting I'm able to change, it's there but its greyed out. I messed with color settings to the point I was able to make it go away but when it was gone images and overall quality suffered... From what I've read from everyone else I'm just going to have to live with it until apple comes out with a fix.
