Thanks for that - it is way too far from me, but I'm sure there's similar specialists near to me.

Where did you get the 4 wheel alignment done? I want mine doing, but I'm a bit hesitant where to go. Don't really want to let some knuckledragger at it, especially as I understand other settings will need recalibrating. I'm in the North West, and don't mind travelling as long as I know that it has b...

It depends on how many miles you do a year, but I had a classic car policy with 6 classic cars on it, which are limited to 3000 miles each per year. On my RS4 renewal I thought I'd ask them for a quote. They were more than happy to include the RS4 on the same policy - they regarded it as a specialis...

My local Audi dealership uses the same oil irrespective of service regime and model - they always use 5/30's, usually Castrol (to VW 504/507 spec).
They will supply / use a cheaper oil if the customer requests it - usually Quantum.

Interesting to read in 2016 that the Audi dealership chose to note on the vehicle service / history record that RO tyres were not fitted.... Hence one reason why I have fitted replacement RO1 tyres to mine since new as I still have an Audi Extended Warranty after 9 years, and don't want any quibbles...

Afternoon all Having read through these posts about discs/pads etc it sounds like a personnal prefernce to all. My front discs aren't the wavy ones, think Zimmerman but cant be sure. Question is, is there a massive difference between the two brands? Also with the Reyland discs, how do they fit with...

There is plenty of buying advice and what to look out for along with topics about desirable spec etc on this forum if you do a thorough search.

I would argue your 'specialist is not entirely correct at all. The original 'Audi' ballasts are made by Mitsubishi, and the part no. is common to other Audi's with Xenons across the range, not just RS models. As long as the part no. and suffix is the same, then it is suitable.

As long as each new owner who is 'scratching an itch' hasn't been ragging it around until the itch has been scratched...? ?

With the fantastic soundtrack of the V8 engine and exhaust, would you really notice any significant improvement with the B&O sound system? Probably not. I have a BOSE sound system in one of my other cars, and don't notice any real difference in that system above the standard system. Congratulations ...

I personally like the look of the one at Maundrells - looks very tidy, with quite a reasonable spec, and the seats look well cared for. Not a fan of the wheels, but again that's personal preference...

Blimey - 6 previous owners? That's going some...one of them must have been a bit of lardarse too looking at the drivers seat!! :shock: It does look well, but Prism Silver isn't one of the 'faster' colours.....I know its personal preference, but many like their RS4 colour to make a statement! Have yo...

Bit of a tale there - I bought one from Wigan Breakers on Ebay (I wouldn't recommend that company at all - they were very abrupt and not helpful). It was listed with the part no. suffix F, and it looked 'as new' - I got it for £85. I had previously messaged them asking if it was the one shown in the...

Well i for one am hoping that you come back and tell us it all works so we can get one. I just presumed all space savers were the same? Well, as Coolguy said, it all fits more or less fits like a glove. I bought a secondhand but unused spave saver, part no. 8K0601027F with offset ET29, with a unuse...

When my offside headlight failed last year, I swapped the bulb from one side to the other to check if the fault was the bulb or ballast. (If the fault changes side then the bulb is faulty; if the fault stays at the same side, then its likely to be the ballast). My fault stayed on the offside and the...
