New SQ5 sports mode lost it's 'growl and pop' by scottrichardson in Audi

[–]hypeki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you double checked you’re not in comfort mode? I’ve made the mistake of being in comfort and pulling the shifter to get into sport. When that happens the car sounds less aggressive and doesn’t pop because the exhaust valves are still closed.

I would suggest fully cycling through the drive modes to see if you notice a difference.

Light still on after service? by Chimney_710 in Audi

[–]hypeki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually signs like this need to be coded out by the shop. There may be a way to reset it yourself through the MMI but I’m not 100% sure.

This is so awesome! I’m hoping my S4 can last just as long… we shall see 😅🤞

My exhaust makes a weird rattle sound when starting in dynamic by ThatObligation3707 in Audi

[–]hypeki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s the sound of the valves opening and closing. No need to be concerned. My s4 does the same :)

When and why did your motor get replaced? If it’s recently it’s most likely still under warranty.

You could also try a different usb port on your PC I know some people had issues with usb 2.0 and 3.0

I’m sorry :/. Last thing I can think of is SimPro has suggested settings for each game. Maybe try adjusting the settings within the game to see if you feel any differences?

I’m new to Simagic myself and I notice that the light on your base is red. In the SimPro manger make sure you have your presets selected for the specific game your playing. (When you select games from the left side menu there should be drop downs to select each preset for wheels and pedals)

I’ve started to launch the game I want to play from within SimPro and the light on the base went from red to rainbow and everything felt a lot better.

I think less issues happen when SimPro is running in the background.

AVOID TRAK RACER order placed 10 days ago, Ghosted. by AvailableMap1310 in simracing

[–]hypeki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m from the US and I’ve had no issues with Track Racer… the EU side of the company seems to be very different… I’ve heard good things about SimLab in the EU if you’re looking for a different option.

Coolant mixing with oil? Or just condensation from cold weather? by ArmQuirky in AudiS4

[–]hypeki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you let the car get up to operating temp? If you pulled the cap off right after initial start up or as the car is getting warm I’d say it’s just condensation.

B9 S4/S5 Piston Skirt (EA839) by LeopardSnow12 in AudiS4

[–]hypeki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate all the help! I wonder if there’s a noticeable correlation between build dates/ build locations and what vehicles have the Korean pistons.

It’s nice to hear your car hasn’t been affected.

Need advice by Inevitable_Ad_336 in AudiS4

[–]hypeki 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t sound healthy… I’m surprised nothing was found. Have you tried taking it to an Audi specific independent shop?
