Re: 2008 RS4 not starting
Thanks. Not sure what the issue was but they fixed it while I was away for work. Smooth sailing from here on in.

Re: RS4 avant vs 996 C4S
I just shifted a 997.2 C2S which was a wonderful car. If collectibility is your main aim then a 996 isn't the way. As mentioned the IMS problem caused a number of issues with the 996 and 997.1 but the dislike runs to the styling with the fried egg headlights and the interior fit being nasty imo. The...

Re: FOR SALE: 625BHP MRC/TTS SUPERCHARGED B7 RS4
Why not just bring it down to Aus? Personal imports are allowed, one of the few things our nanny state does allow.

Re: In a bit of a quandary with my B7 RS4 - EPC issue.
I've had a similar issue that is going to be checked out when I'm back from a business trip in December but I have done a VCDS scan which showed fault 00547 angle sensor 2 for throttle. Told it could be the wiring as its a known issue apparently due to excessive heat or some such. Happened to the pr...

Re: 2008 RS4 not starting
Yep the clutch switch isn't the issue. When it happens the car doesn't get to that stage of startup

Re: 2008 RS4 not starting
He's helping. The mechanic is his. Thankfully second hand cars here from dealers come with a legal warranty for 3 or 5 months I can't remember which. So I have a loaner from the dealer or a horrid little BMW 1 series diesel at the moment.

2008 RS4 not starting

On startup the car won't start, key in ignition to start or on whichever it's called and the Engine lights in the upper dash doesn't light up wh...

Re: Hey from Oz
Took a little longer than hoped, but been busy as hell since picking the car up and this weekend was the first real opportunity I've had to take a few quick happy snaps. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7225/7055460043_3523df57b6_c.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7188/7055462549_8707a80404_c.jpg http...
