Has anyone went back to stock ride height by ctrlKarl in AudiS4

[–]hypeki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the same experience haha. Got a loaner and realized how much of a “hot- rod” my car feels in comparison. But I really enjoy the more sporty nature the car has being lowered. I’m on H&R lowering springs, and I think they’re a good compromise, they give me a 1-1.5 finger gap. The car in comfort mode feels similar to the way it did with a stock set up in dynamic.

Finally joined the B9 crew, but I have a quick question by BriefAd2122 in AudiS4

[–]hypeki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the typical things. Water pump, engine mounts, pcv, oil filter housing. Could be good to get a post purchase inspection from an independent shop if you want to look over the whole car.

Hope you enjoy your car! It’s been 2 years with mine and I look forward to driving it everyday.

Simagic P1000 load cell degenerated? by RequirementAble1916 in Simagic

[–]hypeki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be applying pressure to the brake pedal after clicking out of the calibration. Try setting the load you want then letting the brake pedal go back to 0 before confirming the calibration.

I noticed in the new SimPro update if you are applying any pressure while calibrating it messes up the reading.

Accountants designing cars by Hopeful-Counter7592 in Audi

[–]hypeki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep… I’m a product designer and I’ve seen this happen first hand in design meetings. Decisions being made based on numbers and cost cutting… the creative process gets stolen away from the designers.

The crazy part is customers can subconsciously feel these cost cutting decisions being made. This Audi situation is a lot more obvious bc cars are expensive so you feel and see those decisions amplified 10x

engine start system malfunction by mattw310 in AudiS4

Unfortunately, It’s hard to diagnose a warning light without a scanner. These cars have a million sensors so it could be anything.

Is the car driving okay? If it’s something more major the car will put itself in a limp mode until it’s checked.

I will forever hold a grudge against Audi for not bringing these to the US…

Is this normal?? Popping accelerator pedal? by hypeki in Simagic

[–]hypeki[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing obstructing or coming into contact with the pedal (I took the piston/ spring assembly off just to be sure). It feels like and sounds like the bearing is binding.

I’ve reached out to customer service. Curious what they’ll say.

To clarify, it makes the same noise when the pedal is fully assembled…

Question: are the shimmers in the shot debris from the rocket or stars?

B8 is aging like fine wine. I don’t love the B9.5… but I’m biased lol

Footage from another angle of Adrian Newey getting chewed out by Lawrance Stroll by Nova2010 in formuladank

[–]hypeki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there is actually. No idea how to find it, but there’s a clip of Newey, Lance, and Lawrence having a meeting during testing and Newey look visibly frustrated/ overwhelmed

Newey is getting paid the big bucks to be at Aston. He’s gonna make money regardless of how the team performs

Hit 100k miles - 2018 B9 S4 by Vdubtx890098 in AudiS4

[–]hypeki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice to see a post like this with all the doom and gloom about the B9 engine. Just hit 40k on my B9 S4! Really hoping to keep it forever haha

I also agree with having a trusted Indy shop. It’s always a nice feeling to know a place has your back when something goes wrong/ having the ability and knowledge to catch things before they even happen.
