    Not quite the same - but I have a 2009 A4 with the V6 engine (pretty much the same at the S4, apart from the supercharger!).
    I also have a vibration around 1100. Went to Audi who say its normal - also been to an independent specialist who say its common. It must be an internal thing rather than the mounts ?

    Audi A4 B8 Avant SLine - 3.2 V6 Quattro - now sold

    Audi A3 8P - 2.0T Quattro - sold
    Audi A4 B7 Avant - 2.0T - heap of junk, now gone!

    Any sort of vibration from a premium car like an S4 is not right.

    There are far more powerful cars with extremely large engines that don't vibrate. I very much doubt you'll find any vibration from an R8 V10.

    Cars of this calibre are engineered to be vibration and rattle free

    Very true

    But it has to be said the higher the V as in v6, v8, etc the more stable they are

    Just so glad all is sorted

    And the exhaust note has changed allot as well so smiles all round !!!
