In terms of miles per gallon per horsepower, the RS4 is actually very efficient.

415 bhp and 30mpg!

A mate had a v6 mondeo, 3.0 litre engine giving about 200bhp and struggling to get 25mpg, utterly pointless.

The price seems quite rich, but maybe prices are firming now. The seats are quite flamboyant for an otherwise, understated car.

Now on the bay.

Thanks for your comment, it's a hard decision to sell the RS4, any car after this will be a backward step and prices seem to have firmed recently. The fact remains I'm not using it enough, 4500 miles in the past 12 months.. I went up in a Chinook once, that was enough to put me off for life. I have ...

Ok,

I have the mirror off the door. Before I break anything, how do I separate the metal bracket from the plastic cover?

Thanks

I agree with the comment re the colour of the oil. Looking round my car immediately after the service last month, I checked the oil level and actually went back in to check if they had changed it, as it was well black on the dipstick. Level was ok though. Very professional and courteous service, if ...

Using the local audi garage, £96/hour!

Valve 079103464f (see photo) replaced and engine back to normal.

Also, the friction material on my rear pads had disintegrated, I think due to corrosion between pad and disc. Quoted ££876 to replace discs and pads!

I had a poke about the pipes under the cover near the oil filter. I couldn't see any perished or split pipes. Subsequently, the eratic idling was much worse, the car barely driveable at low speeds and the revs sitting at 2000rpm waiting at traffic lights, etc. Upon shutdown, there was a sucking nois...

Update:

I checked the pipes at the exhaust valves; they look ok. The valves are opening and closing again.

Dropped in at the local garage, mechanic read the code as P0171, running lean, left bank.

Is there anything further I can check?

Thanks, Angus

Thanks for the replies. The coil packs were changed last year as part of the recall. I'll nip out and check the pipes around the exhaust valves. Hope it's something fixable. Maybe my local garage that does the mot can read the fault codes, if I don't see anything obvious just now, I'll nip in by the...

PS,

the car is 2006, 43,000 miles and completely standard.

Hi, I'm looking for some technical guidance. The Emission Control System light came on yesterday, when driving on country roads with the engine warm. The light stayed on, constant after re-starting. The engine revs have been a bit uneven lately, at idle, floating about 1100rpm. Yesterday, they were ...

I have the same problem, corrosion on the driver's side, its really obvious and makes the car look tatty. (56 avant, 30K) When I asked about the corrosion warranty at Aberdeen Audi, they said not even the doors were covered, as they were not part of "the body". Maybe it's because I didn't buy the ca...
