Default Warranty = Life saver!
The S4's in the audi dealer now. I was having suspension issues where it felt unsave over bumps ect. and the rpms felt like it was slipping. Got off the phone with my service guy yesterday, total bill is around $5,000! Thankfully my warranty is picking up almost the entire bill except a few hundred. I can't remember everything that was wrong, but the Torque converter is shot, upper control arms are bad, differntials are completely toast, needs alignment and something else was leaking... Sadly enough my warranty is up within 6000 miles and I dont think I can afford random 5k repair bills coming my way after that..

Why speakers? They rattle? If so you can fix that easily.

Default yes, but why should I if I can get them to do it...
Actually, I think I should have b/c I didn't realize I have a $100 deductible for my warranty (I'm out of factory), so I guess I could have just done it. But, I already did the one rear deck speaker once and it came apart again, so...

My RF door speaker has started to rattle when it's cold. So what's the easy fix?

Default Exactly the same thing here... the fix is something to do with
glueing the dome back to the woofer cone.

Default Yeah it just comes off and you gotta glue it back.
I did my rear speakers and have not had any problems since. I used a flexible super strong glue.
