guys.. Check out quattroworld.com rs4 forum.. Apparently folks have had problems with the flywheels.

Also google "jhm sucks"

I havent deakt with them, but im pretty leery to do so after reading a bit.

I was able to get Audi Pure Protection Platinum in the US for $2900 which covers my car until 79,000 miles or 12/2017.

This was for a 2008 RS4 w/ 9500mi.. apparently when the car hits 10k mi, the price nearly doubles.

I seem to have a similar issue.. when the vehicle is cold, (i.e. running less than 5-10 minutes) it takes significantly more effort to go from 1st to 2nd or vice versa. Also has a bad habit of almost popping out of gear when I go to change gears.. I've had the dealer look at it, they said it was nor...

They think the esp disable issue is the switch.. I'll bet anything it is not. The switch is a momentary switch.. when you push the esp button, the esp icon comes up on the dash and then immediately disappears. Hold the button, the ESP icon comes up on the dash and disappears, so it is making contact...

After the out of control throttle incident... my ESP disable button no longer works.

Car is at dealer now.. they can't seem to determine the problem.

It has been behaving a bit strangely (lag etc), but never something like this.

(X posted on QW) I hopped in my RS4 this afternoon after work and hit the S button as I normally do. Let the car warm up for a couple of minutes (it was 75 outside) and off I went. I stopped to turn right and noticed something a bit funny about the idle.. I blip the throttle by pushing maybe 25-30% ...

I've heard nice things about JHM front rotors.. If they hold up, they seem priced right as well.

All I have to say here.. Please..



Cheers.

I've noticed my RS4 has a response lag when pressing the throttle.. sometimes it feels like the pedal needs to move 20%+ before the engine responds. It is harder to rev match because I'm not getting direct throttle/engine feedback.. For what it is worth.. it is better in sport mode.. Any suggestions...

At what temp does the RS4 remove the 7k RPM limiter.. I don't seem to see a oil temp display until this happens. In any event, I definitely dont push the car until the oil is at least up to temp.. I was on another forum where someone was complaining they keep bouncing against the 7k RPM limiter and ...

I think letting the oil get hot before applying load is important as is avoiding short trips, etc. There's the rub.. in Southern California, short trips are, unfortunately, the norm. Most of my driving is short trips or traffic (not by choice).. so I'm planning on 3000, maybe 4000 mi oil change int...

Mobil 1 0W40 is VW/Audi approved for use in the US I heard M1 0W40 shears down really badly in an RS4 engine.. I have it in our A4 2.0T, but that's a totally different car that drinks oil like you wouldn't believe. My dealer uses Castrol Syntec 5w40, but on I have the Audi maint pkg and they will o...

So what gives re: the difference between US Oil VW502 and ROW at VW504/507? It looks like the only recommended oil in the US is VW502 which is a 5w-40.

I believe it is because of sulfur in the gasoline here, but I figured someone smarter than me has a better answer.

Thanks!
