Got stopped for similar reasons last week in my RS4 in Hertfordshire ..... again was very impressed by the fact that the police were actually looking out for thefts of cars of this type. My stop was a little more easily explained though - about 2 in the morning and they followed me for a mile or two...

Guys, take a look at www.rsquattro.com. It is run by a very friendly Belgian guy called Youry Bioul, and he has been selling these very items for a while now. Mine are in the post ;0)

I'm the 3rd owner since early '06. I did some research - the first guy definitely got it off a waiting list and sold for a profit almost immediately. Second guy had it as a plaything (as indicated by the plate he had on it which was something like 'TOY')

Keep us posted mate - I'm seeing exactly the same symptoms on my '06 car (only done 15K miles and the current tires are decent) ...... cheers

Enjoy her, and keep us informed !

!!! You've rumbled my plan too ;0)

Re. your initial comment about swapping your RS4 for a Lotus Exige S - don't do it!! I actually sold my brand new Exige S after only 6 months ownership, in order to buy my current RS4....... Although i miss the sheer head-turning beauty and pin-sharp handling (in the dry only!) of the Exige, overall...

Yup me too - found a great thread on here. In the end I did a fairly neat job, blocking the black tubes with a screw and a crimped mini-clamp in each case, that I got from Halfords for about 1.99 .

Given that I just sold my Lotus Exige S to make way (and in order to afford) the RS4, I think I'm perfectly placed to comment on whether or not I miss the extra handling characteristics offered by a light mid-engined sportscar over the RS4. And to be honest, I don't. Sure, I took the Exige on trackd...

hhhhm I must be lucky too, mine is early 2006 and still no rattly badge. Annoying loose screw on the backside of the alloy bit though, on the left hand side ..... I think I need to find a set of watch-screwdrivers (the little ones) to tighten it back up again

I think this 'water in the bootlid' thing is a known problem with RS4s. I had the same problem with mine - the boot lid always filled with water after a rain storm (no leakage into the boot itself though). Took it in to Audi Hitchin and they diagnosed a probable fault with the rubber seals around bo...

I've just finished my third week of RS4 ownership too ..... and am in love with this car like no other. I traded up from a nearly near Lotus Exige S ..... which was a great car, don't get me wrong - but in a totally different world in terms of build quality. The RS4 oozes quality, plus also goes lik...

Love it love it love it
