coolant loss

Hi, I am suffering VERY slow coolant loss. Late year the dealer had the car for two days and replaced a suspect hose in the V. I am not super technical FYI. Anyway it went back recently and they couldn't find any cause for the loss which is still happening. Anyone suffered this? Thanks in advance. C...

Thanks, it was the standard colour for my first A4 1.8T, then I ordered an S4 in that colour and finally the RS4. The dealer rolled his eyes when I did it. Hey the customer isnt always right....he is the reason you are there though!! :D

Service/spark plugs...

Hi,

I've just had my 60K service and asked about changing the spark plugs. My dealer said no need. Do these normally get changed at this interval?

Ta in advance.

Re: Lost my V1 in a smash n grab today

Sorry to hear about that. I had a mate, parked his RS4 in Porirua and V1 gone in 60 seconds so to speak. Seems in NZ there is a healthy resellers market. There is an under the bonnet kit. My mate went for a different detector under the bonnet...problem gone.

Bent wheels vs suspension

Hi guys,

I need to know if anyone has older info on the original stuff on RS4.org regarding the pre release issues Audi had with the wheels and suspension breaking. One or two 'issues' to sort out with my dealer. Any help would be appreciated.

Ta

Re: aftermarket wheels...

Michael, Thanks for your thoughts and good to know your car at least survived the wheels being changed. I remember someone saying on RS4.org that they saw a number of RS4's at the factory with different wheels and were suggesting that they at the factory couldn't be bothered with the wheel drama eit...

Greetings. I have a few questions as well... Now that the bent wheel saga has developed a bit, what is the general take about the new wheels? Are they still bending? Third... has anyone who has fitted after market wheels, Sportec or MTM, bent any suspension components? Fourth...can anyone supply par...
