RS4 with Alcantara seats?

Quick question: was there a seat option on B7 RS4s for part-Alcantara seats (i.e. where the seat back and seat were Alcantara and the sides/edges were leather)?

Re: Miss my RS4 so much!

I traded in my mint RS4 for £18K two years ago. FSH with Milltek, MRC stage 2, etc. Totally mint. The dealer I traded it into showed that someone was buying it for £21K. Two years later as I scan prices for a similar car, they are now showing as £21K to £25K. Hence, no depreciation in two years! In ...

Miss my RS4 so much!

Hi all, back to this forum after just over two years. I sold my RS4 B7 and it was the biggest mistake of my motoring history! Looking back, it was simply the best car I've ever owned. I want to buy another one and see that prices are actually going up now. Really kicking myself now. But, I still wan...

Another year, another MOT passed

Re: How many miles a year do you do?

The RS4 is my main car at the moment and i'm averaging around 5K miles a year in it. For work I tend to fly or take a train.

Re: New owner, a few more questions.

+1 for F1 AS2 tyres. Car is so much better than when it was on P-Zeros. As for fuel, Shell V-Power - the car hates anything else!

Re: Servicing Audi or time to go independent

A little off topic but do you guys also get your MOT done at the dealers? I’m only asking as so far mine has always been done with Audi but I have a very good family friend who is a mechanic and can do the MOT if needed. Cheers Ed Yes. Because my nearest dealer picked up my car, MOTd it and then de...

Re: "Cold" tyre pressures - define cold?

I have found that if you let the sun heat up one side of the car first and then set the tyre pressures, you could be out by several PSI when all the tyres are back at the same temperature. A few PSI might not sound like much but I can feel the difference in the steering.

Re: "Cold" tyre pressures - define cold?

I've always checked and changed tyre pressures first thing in the morning and before the sun has heated one side of the car.

Re: Bluetooth connecting/disconnecting- Android Samsung S2 L

I've had similar problems every now and then, I can't be 100% sure but I think I had the problem more when I had the Astrid app installed on my phone. I think it may be something to do with having an app that basically takes over the control of the phone function (like Astrid does). I unistalled Ast...

Re: Possible options for iPod connection RNS-E

Alpine/Kufatec option is amongst the best out there.
